Re: Thoughts on the name Manny for a girl?
Gosh! How rude of the parents to insist their children be called what they named them instead of what others want to call them! The nerve!

That's quite fine and dandy, and I'm happy to oblige! I'm just confused about the fact that...what if the kid likes that nickname? Are they gonna just concede that they set themselves up for it? Are they gonna be weirdos and forbid the child from calling themselves that? It doesn't add up to me from a long term perspective.
