My oldest has a name from one of my grandparents' ancestors (I think their grandparent or great-grandparent) that's not common in my country (my grandparent was an immigrant). The name is easy to pronounce, but unfortunately there's a celebrity with a similar name, so people always mistake it for that name.

The other two are very common here and haven't caused issues. But the one foreign name has been a serious problem, but fortunately my kid loves their name, and it's unique without being a pain to spell.

People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement
