    Do these parents not realise that they are naming real humans that will also be adults one day? Like, just imagine a grown-ass woman named “Brexleigh”.

        If I had a friend right now with that name, I’d be calling them Brexit. Would fit right in with Charles Barkley, Dick Towers, Mr. Toast, and Lexicon.

      A lot of these people grew up being call “The Bllack Kim” or “The Fat Jesse” because there are only so many standard names.
