Uhhh, what!?

And if you keep Byntleigh Destini Starr, or Jysis Saves Smith … You’ve probably earned it

The victims are the people being given these names. You are the blamer, because you think they've "earned it" because they haven't changed it. My original comment had absolutely nothing to do with the article...

    You're right, I was defending a different position than you were replying to.

    At the same time, if I ended up with a canonically religious crazy or white trash name... I would change it. The thought of changing my name had crossed my mind, but it's pretty whitebread.

    My parents were extremely religious, and named me after the fictitious leader of a made up civilization of atheists. It's such a weird paradox to me, because I did indeed grow up to not share their religion, but that's the exact opposite of what they actually wanted.
