Abcde? How stupid..
by ChicADee14Its stupid! how would anyone know how to pronounce that!
by Mandyjolene5Trash
by curry2011It's is absolutely terrible, your an idiot if you think this is cute.
by kkozickiThis is the most rediculous name I've ever heard?
by kitty1981How do you even say this??
by smanclarkis a way better name than bailey
by I love abuit is awesome way better name than bailey
by I love abuThis is a simple cute name......it's actually pronounced (ab-say-day).
by kjack224Please. This is so stupid.
by kara_2eABCDE is not pronounced "obicity" which sounds a lot like obesity, btw. ABCDE should only be pronounced one way: my mother is a moron and possibly a crackhead.
by jadams0630are you kidding me with this? i actually prefer to name my kid Dlkfjlspweoikjnfaser.
by poshpartyI love the name and spelling....I actually thought I made this name and spelling up..guess I was wrong! I love it Abcde! Cute..!
by goldenteenaSounds like obicity when you say it! Ha umm...nope
by tonijanacekAbsidy is a pretty name, but spelling it ABCDE is not a great idea unless you want people to look at you or your child like they are from Mars seeing as with that spelling, it takes a moment for the brain to look at the pronunciation over the fact that, "Hey look! The first five letters of the alphabet!"
by Singularisha!
by deannasaurAt first I was like WTF, but then when I started to think about the pronunciation it actually sounds like a pretty name. It still looks a little weird at first, but the name is beautiful.
by scottnchrissy2125This is my daughters name and i am absolutely disgusted by the horrible comments. Bullying is huge and it looks like i can see where so many children get it from. My daughter Absidy (i originally made the name up when i was 12 and spelled is ABCDE) is a beautiful, loving, well loved little girl and we get compliments on her name all the time. No child has ever said anything mean about her name, we call her Abi for short. I think maybe all of you soon to be or current MOTHERS need to remember the simple advice of "if you don't have anything nice to say, better to say nothing at all". As a 26 year old mother to my beautiful 4 year old daughter, my husband and i are not hippies, i've never done a drug in my life, i don't live on a compound..... i'm just in shock by people these days. Shame on you.
by britnoel0925What kind of drugs do you have to be on to think this is a good name!!!???
by vanessajaynegood grief
by logoz80I´m sorry if I offend, but that is just ridiculous!

by lindseyc513Fellow parents-to-be... Please, just consider the future of your child. The graduation ceremonies, the college applications, the resumes... The level of embarrassment.
by CupOHotCocoaI feel bad for these kids with this name!
by zebragyrlieWhy do people set their kids up like this? Do you think about what it's going to be like when they're an adult? "Hi, I'll be your attorney. My name is ABCDE!" Not likely.

It's something different, and so much better then something normal and common. She is 11 now, and LOVES her name! Abc'de - I pronounce it Ab-Ce-Dee....So far everyone on here think it's dumb because they wouldn't know how to pronounce it. I get comments from others saying they are going to name their daughter Abcde.=)

by ecirtamAbsurd!
by whitedandelionboo. it's a punishment.
by otmmodel2Abcde, and Abcadi are not the same.....How would you even pronounce Abcde? It is nothing more than the beginning of the alphabet...No one passed judgment on the name, because it isn't even a name.
by KeriR88I can not believe the comments on here, we named our daughter abcadi. And she has a goregous name. My daughter is the most fun loving beautiful child there is and she has soooooo many friends. I honestly belive that your name defines you. And my child is 1 in a million just as her name. You are honestly horrible people for ever passing judgement. Next time question who you might be offending before the words come out of your mouth.
by netluc0525dumb

by jcb1109it's pronounced A-bcee-dy, I am from Hispanic decent and I have never heard of anyone naming their kid that. The reason why I know how it is pronounced it's because of another pregnancy app I have on my phone >.<
by Ayaka34How do you even pronounce this name?!

by hemmerklWow, im not sure if this is a joke, or whhaat, but yahhh its ridiculous. Its origin can not be american either, crazy
by DeeringtNo one will ever know how to pronounce this. Poor child. It's worse than Prince using a symbol for his name, but at least he chose that for himself. Please don't do this. It's totally stupid and ridiculous!
by Skim11is there a way for someone to delete this? i thought it was a joke at first but thats rediculous
