Close call

By Purple - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - United States - Fremont

Today, my dad told me that my mom wanted to name me something "unusual." He eventually got her to compromise. I go by Violet. I now know that my legal name is Purple. FML

It's ok you get a normal name to go by. My name is bluu sky. When I was young and told my mom I hated it she called me george.

I'm really sorry your mom named you like that. George doesn't sound so bad, at least it's a real name. Where I live yo can only give names that will have a gender associated with. It means you can't legally name a child Alex, you have to go with either Alexandra or Alexander accordingly. I know it sound really restrictive, but at least it saves kids from being named after colors, fruit and weather conditions.

My brother didnt know his middle name until he was 12. One day he was talking to a girl on the phone and asked me "Hey, what is my middle name?" "John, you really didn't know?!?"
