No fucking way. This is rage bait. Even if this dogshit name was truly her most cherished wish, there’s no chance you willingly take someone’s name and then go on and complain about your actions.
Fake.
yup, I’ll take “Things that didn’t happen” for $500, Alex.
I feel like I wouldn’t even blame the other kids for bullying me if my name was Blessica
Popular media is the worst place to find a name for your kid. Remember all the parents who named their daughters “Danerys,” before she went insane in Season 8 and burned an entire city full of innocent people alive? I wonder how they feel about that choice now. That poor kid is doomed. You might as well give her a stripper name
That season doesn’t exist and you can’t convince me otherwise
“kaleesi”
Ok…forget Jessica Simpson. Let’s Thanos snap her out of existence, and then Men in Black laserpen flashy thing everyone on earth to forget she ever existed. Everybody on the same page then? Ok, cool. Let’s continue.
Ok…
The name Blessica sucks.
Yeah I think the moral of this story is not to knock-up someone who likes the name Blessica.
Or whose last name is Blimpson.
I don’t think you can “knock-up” a guy.
With a mace everything is possible.
And malice
And my (bl)axe
someone who likes the name Blessica
I picture this as someone who goes to church a lot, reads romance novels, bakes awesome cookies, and says things like “sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays!”
Blive, blaugh, blove
Yes. But also: Blessica Blimpson.
She just took the name Jessica and fumbled at the beginning.
I think the idea is that it begins with “Bless”. It’s not a good idea at all, but pretty sure that’s what it is.
It’s a child not a vanity plate
Ohhhh, no no honey these are straight people, their GOD GIVEN sexuality must be DISPLAYED ALWAYS
What?
Cishet bad. Duh.
I think its a bot that starts beef
Man, I wish I had a beefbot…
Yo straight people are the ones having waaay more kids and they’re still naming plenty of them with non-stupid names. Let’s focus the hate where it belongs: people who try to create personalities for themselves by using their child as a proxy for their unfulfilled hopes and dreams.
I mean, I guess the straights get pretty weird sometimes, but I’m not really seeing the connection.
Wow, what a blursed name.
A perfectly cromulent name.
I found the OP and their post got deleted, but the only comments she responded to were the supportive ones (maybe 1 or 2 out of dozens of “wtf is wrong with you” reactions).
The poster has a history dating back 2 years so I don’t think it’s a troll, or if it is it’s convincing. I just can’t believe anyone would actually want to name their kid fucking Blessica. Absolutely revolting name.
I agree about the name being horrible, but parents are going with more and more, let’s just say ‘unusual’ names, spellings and pronunciations these days. I’ve got a Grandson named Charon. Socially, it hasn’t really been a bonus for him.
I’ve got a Grandson named Charon
Isn’t that something from greek mythology? I swear there’s something like that in greek mythology…
You swear correctly. He is the boatman of the river Styx. He ferries souls to Hades in the afterlife if the individual was buried with the ferry toll. If they didn’t have the ferry toll they’d be fated to wandering the banks of the river Styx for 100 years before they could cross.
I think it’s a cool name. Apologies if this was intended sarcasm and it went over my head.
Also the badass hotel concierge in the John Wick movies.
It’s certainly several orders of magnitude better than Blessica…
Although mythological names are often cool, it’s always worth researching fully. Loki may suddenly be super cool thanks to the MCU, but he still got fucked by a horse.
Dang that’s a pretty metal name for a kid. I can’t decide if its terrible or brilliant
I think the main issue is that it sounds like Karen
He ran the ferry boat across the Styx to the underworld and had a 3 headed dog…
Cerberus was next in line to the house of Hades, but Charon was not his master. Hades was.
Eh, the kid could have worse, and it seems pretty fitting for the name’s origins.
If you think of children as blessings, and want to change an existing name a little – in this case, Jessica – it makes sense. The first recorded instance of Jessica is from Shakespeare, who could’ve changed the biblical Iesca (Jeska) to Jessica by mixing Jesse into it (or making Jesse into a woman’s name… or other potential origins like the word jess being turned into a name.) And you consider Bless to be a name (though rather unpopular), so it wouldn’t even be particularly odd for the name.
The kid could’ve been named “Anna” which also means blessing. She wanted to call her blessica because she was blessed to have her. Which yeah - just go with Anna
Are you arguing that variants of names meaning blessing shouldn’t exist, or are you just against a new name? Because every name was new at one point, and lots of new names are variants of older ones.
“Blessica” is a stupid name and naming someone that for those reasons is wrong. The husband is right. You don’t give kids quirky names, especially with a shitty surname already.
How is it a stupid name? Are rarer names stupid? It’s just a name, if a very uncommon one, and it’s not even particularly hard to spell or pronounce, nor is it without thought. Combination names can sometimes produce odd results, so this one feels fairly mild.
It’s not rarer, it’s unique. And just because something is unique, doesn’t mean it is good. You don’t think about yourself when naming a child. You think about the child. That’s why all of this is bullshit. If you want your kid to change their name / use their middle name, then go ahead - be selfish and go with “blessica”. I can already see five different ways the name can be twisted, and believe me, other kids will find fifty more.
I know multiple people with “unique” names or surnames. Some are in the process of changing them - start using a new surname, to later make it official in their papers. The kid won’t be unique or looked at favourably because they have a unique name either.
By that logic, forcing any name on a child is selfish, so they should pick their own name, since they are the ones that would have it. Although, in that case, temporary names would probably be a thing, so I don’t really see the issue (or you could use other cultural naming conventions like that, but that is one that exists.)
Unless your argument is nonconformity is selfish? I personally think some people will find a reason to make fun of another person, but nominative determination does have its appeal if you don’t believe that.
All names were unique at some point, but that’s a moot point. Eventually they will either become more popular or less popular.
Parenting is for the good of the kids, not the wants of the parents.
Winner winner chicken dinner.
Projecting your views onto your kid only ends up with them resenting you and you feeling like they can’t meet expectations.
Some things are non-negotiable: my kids aren’t allowed to be disrespectful shit-bagels, but other than that they get to decide who they want to be. I am fortunate enough to get to discover that with them.
She won’t get made fun of for sounding like Jessica Simpson…no will care, they’ll be too busy making of “Blessica”
And Blimpson. God help any of these.kids if they’re overweight
thanks to my husband
It’s all my husband’s fault that I want to curse my child with a shitty name. How they go through life doesn’t matter to me. They’re my creation, and what I want is all that matters.
What the actual fuck. Just name your kid Paisley if you don’t care about their experience after they leave your body. Whether kids know who Jessica Simpson is or not, you’re giving your kid a stupid name. They will correctly hate you for it.
Paisley Blimpson sounds like a cool name.
I refuse to believe this isn’t a shitpost
Edit: I need to start reading the communities stuff gets posted in
The original community was namenerds and digging through the original poster’s submission history I’m seeing some pretty bad poetry, 90 day fiance content and grieving the death of their parents: all spread out across the past year.
… I don’t think it’s a shit post.
Nah there’s no record of ‘Blimpson’ being a surname, I call bullshit. But your investigate efforts are appreciated.
… No but Bimpson is… https://www.houseofnames.com/bimpson-family-crest
The Bimpson surname is a patronymic, created from the Medieval given name Benne, which comes from the Latin word “benedictus,” which means “blessed.”
Too much of a good thing.
Sub name is censored, but I can just tell that’s r/namenerds.
For some odd reason, I really think that this is a true story. God bless blessica blimp son.

I’m just picturing the album art as a bunch of baby goats in a crosswalk.
Not only one of the blest blitish blands of all time, but quite possibly the blest bland blever.
I haven’t laughed so hard at a comment in I bit. I can hear you spitting this at me like.

Maybe the Simpsons will still be on air…
They’ll probably convert The Simpsons to be entirely AI-generated soon so that it can stay on the air forever. The quality will probably go up, too.
