A Man Does Not Like His Name

He does not like the name his parents chose.

You can't choose your name when you're born, but you can change it later. A teenager wants to change his name because people make fun of it.

The student wants to be taken seriously in his future job, but he thinks his name will stop that.

He wrote on Reddit, 'I used to like my name, but now I don't. People tease me and call me teddy bear. I don't want to introduce myself as Teddy when I'm older.'

About 50,000 Americans change their name each year.

Teddy tried using his middle name, Alejandro, but it didn't work.

He said, 'I don't know why my parents chose this name. I'm tired of it.'

Most people on Reddit think he should change his name when he's old enough.

One person said, 'When I hear Teddy, I think of a strong leader. People who tease you are mean.'

Another person suggested, 'Introduce yourself as Ted. It sounds more grown-up.'

Someone commented, 'Naming a baby is not simple. This post shows that.'

They said, 'If you plan to call your baby a nickname, don't make it their official name.'

Someone else said, 'Why not use Alejandro? It's your name and you like it.'
