I'm all for being able to make your kid what you want, but I would definitely support a law in the US that stops you from being named these types of names that will get them bullied and picked on.
Whether it be Abcde or whatever the hell Ellon named his spawn, we could stand to have common sense naming laws to avoid the type of situation in this post going forward. And yes, I know it's probably in the UK because it's Daily Mail UK, but it's a problem worldwide if you ask me.
ChildX, most likely.
Worse: X AE A-XII Musk (only named this because X Æ A-12 was not acceptable to California regulations due to having non-English characters both in the form of numbers and of Æ), and later, another named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk (nicknamed "Y"). Both of these were with Grimes. Both of these are the official names given to these children, that is what is written on their birth certificates.
However, they were also preceded by around 8 other children with different women given much more normal names, so it's unclear how much influence Grimes had on the decision making here. X AE A-XII in particular though I will definitely attribute to Elon because his fixation on the letter X extends back decades at this point.
Wait. What?
Sometimes reality is even funnier than our shitty jokes! (Except for the kids. I feel genuinely sorry for them.)
Did he just give his kids name a serial number of manufactured machine
If he continued to have kids with Grimes he 100% would have done S E X Y with their names, same as the Tesla models, hes insane.
And for reference, X AE A-XII is meant to be pronounced "ex ash archangel". Which I'm sure is obvious to everyone that reads it lol
You're not far off.
Or normalizing the practice of choosing your own name if you don't like yours. (though maybe that wouldn't work well for younger kids)
