Years ago when this whole adding in wacky letters thing was taking my off neighbors named their girl "Jersey with a Z".
That's how they said it, every time, "Jersey with a Z".
Now the kid is an infant, never had to say or spell her name in her life - that clarification wasn't needed, but the parents just had to say it anyway. You could see the shit eating grin creep across her parents face every time they said it - so smug, so smart and clever, really patting themselves on the back for being unique and special.
All I can assume is that in a couple of years I'll be able to see Jerzey on stage at the Deja Vu.
I assume its like after the state? Which no offense to any Jersey pede's here - but you guys do have a certain reputation that I'm not sure I'd want to name my kid after.
It is child abuse. They are bullied all their lives at school (called Jerky) then can't go above a mid-level employment position because no CEO ever has been named Jerzey ...
I'd be a cunt and call the kid shit like Sweatshirt, Cardigan, Jumper then gradually expand to just any random article of clothing. "Hey, Left Sock With A Hole In The Toe, ya wanna ice block?"
The likelihood of being a complete loser goes up exponentially when someone is raised by parents that give them a fake, made-up, or misspelled name.

Because they knew if they didn't say that it sounded retarded. Jersey WTF? Oh it's cool though, it's a name because it has a 'z'

Giving children names that are misspelled or made up should be viewed as a form of child abuse.
