A woman testifies on her TikTok account about the school harassment she suffered because of her first name
Although this first name is not worst of allthis earned him a lot of teasing at school. “Me, when my parents decided to call me Aphrodite and then send me to public school as a below average looking child.”she explains.
With a first name like that, it’s a safe bet that his parents were
Greek mythology fans. Aphrodite,
daughter of Zeus and Dione, is the famous
love godess and fertility. Unfortunately, this origine divine will not have impressed his little classmates.

This feminine first name of Greek origin is very rare
All these kind messages may not have erased these
years of sufferingbut they must have certainly pleased Aphrodite. The young woman also understood that this whole period had been only a “exercise of
character development ». It must be said that this first name with European accents is very rare in the United States. It is also in France: in 2020, no

Now an adult, the young woman fully assumes her first name.
In any case, let our Aphrodite of the day put things into perspective, some parents sometimes have a much more overflowing imagination than his own. In France,
babies were almost named Titeuf, Mini-Cooper, Dilleur or even Anal… Fortunately, the civil registry keeps a close eye on birth declarations.
