So, Twitter user Summer Ray (not to be confused with model Sommer Ray) asked the good people of Twitter to share stories of the grief that people’s names have given them.
She also shared a story about her own name, Sarah, saying that one might think it’s a safe enough name, but on more occasions than she can count she’s sent emails with a sign-off that had her name mischievously corrected to “Satan.”
And you bet people delivered their best responses!
Now, you would expect more out-of-the-ordinary names to be picked on. And there certainly were cases like this in Summer Ray’s thread: names like Fuchsia and Audhan were definitely out there to be ridiculed, whether deliberately or not.
But there were also regular names, like Sarah and Ross, that were quite a head-scratch as to how anyone can butcher them. Well, turns out, Stan and Rock are a thing—spellcheck and phones primarily being the culprit here.
While the tweet received quite modest popularity, gaining just a tad bit over 2,800 likes, it still got a fair amount of responses, nearing 1,400 quoted tweets.
