Everybody's name is funny

On the newsgroup AFCA, Bob Ward reminds us of eternal truths:

You know as well as I do that in Junior High School, NO ONE has a name
that can't be used to taunt its owner - if they can learn to shrug it
off they can get on with their lives that much sooner.

Some names are easier than others to live with, but it's hard to argue with Bob's basic point -- and extend that to clothes, personal appearance, hobbies, etc.
