I hate for a child to have their feelings hurt, but this is on the mum. This is a terrible name. How does she Invision schooling to be. What about when she starts her professional life and career. No foresight

Just going on the information posted here……
Firstly, the airline staff could have talked privately and had a bit of a giggle if they wished but under no circumstances should they have done this publicly and there is no way that they should ever post a copy of someones boarding pass.

Secondly, Why on earth does this mother feel the need to even mention that this child is epileptic? Please dont use that as an excuse as to why this child requires special treatment or an excuse for bad behaviour, etc, There was no reason at all why this needed to be mentioned. One of my daughters has endo but she doesnt pull that out anytime she has a dispute with someone. Please stop. Dont let her being epileptic define her.

Third, Naming your child is one of the most important things that you will get to do for your child. If you have a daughter you need to think of many different things then if you are naming a boy. With girls you should look at the initals Stephanie Tracy sounds lovely but what if in years to come she marries a guy with the last name od Daniels and then her initals are STD. You have to take all these things into account and I would think that a high percentage of people would see that naming your child Abcde is just asking for trouble. Im guessing that this mum didnt ask people what they thought before naming her as if she had asked I doubt very much if there would have been anyone honestly saying “oh thats lovely”

Lets be honest. This Mum stuffed up and let her child down bigtime and now this poor girl will be faced with a lifetime of this sort of reaction.

Thei airline staff should have been a bit more professional. But anyone who names their kid Abcde has to brace themselves for a lifetime of this.

Wow, I’m not quite sure what to say about this one. If you’re going to call your child Abcde, you are opening yourselves and your child up to judgement. However, to take a photo of someone’s boarding pass and sharing it on social media would be illegal. That staff member should be sacked.

The little girl may have enough to contend with if her seizures are obvious to other people at all. There needs to be a lot more education about Epilepsy. There is a high % of people of all ages who have a type of epilepsy. The bullying rate for people who suffer from any disability is very high.

As much as the employees should not have laughed nor mocked it on social media it is the mother’s fault. I would have questioned if she was joking or serious, she is cruel to have named her daughter Abcde even if others have also named their child the same. She is going to be mocked for her whole life & it is the mother’s fault, you don’t name yr children deliberately to cause drama in the future. Would you name yr child after cutlery or crockery? Hi, my name is Spoon or Hi my name is Fridge. I know I went through a lot of names in the baby naming bools I had & thankfully they have normal names.
Children will make fun of her at school & she will be a target for bullying. At least change the spelling to Absidee which is how it is pronounced, if she uses the name Abcde as an adult she will never be taken seriously.

My guess is that the agent hasn’t been fired however that behavior is totally inappropriate but I do think the mother should have thought about the name and spelling of it. Unfortunately there are bullies around and she was setting them up to be teased.

I would have thought it was against company policy to post anything about a passenger on Facebook. Where I work it’s definitely not on.

That’s so not on, this mum has to right to be upset about this behaviour of the airline employees.

It is the mum’s fault for choosing a stupid name. The kid is going to cop it until she is 18 and changes her name.

  How dare you!
  People need to be polite about the names others have.

i would have thought it was against company policy to post anything like that on social media.

Definitely shouldn’t be mocking a childs name but the Mum must have known she was setting her child up for ridicule with that name

No matter of how unusual someones name is, it does not give anyone the right to ridicule it. It was highly inappropriate for it to uploaded to social media.

It is so unfortunate and people should have some manners and respect towards others. It’s totally a shame m.

Disgusting people are so terrible my both my daughters have gender neutral names and I did choose because of that I have just always loved the names my first daughter is Darcey boy did I cop it off a lot of people by her name saying that’s a boys name how could etc strangers as well then I would tell the history of the name that doomed shut them up
What ever a parent chooses to call their child is their choice no one one else and you don’t say it so mother and child can here

The staff have no right to share this name on social media nor make fun of it in front of other people. The mother and daughter have the right to their privacy.
Some people needs to think before they do things.

  There should be a code of conduct for staff and there should be disciplinary action for not following the code.

very bad behaviour, this kid will cop it for the rest of her life for the parent’s “cool” choice of names, following a trend isn’t always the best

Their behaviour was definitely childish, unprofessional and out of order not to mention cruel to the child. She can’t help what her mother named her nor how parents spelt it. In all honesty though, did this mum really think no one was going to take the piss if she spelt her daughters name like that? How was that name spelling approved with the birth registry?

That’s very inconsiderate on the attendant’s part, she should have never shared a private image

Uploading it was so inconsiderate and not professional! I hope they get fired
