Lol. That reminds me of how when I'm reading advice columns I often try to wonder about what the letter would look like if written by one of the other people in the story. Like normally the response is "what kind of crazy awful controlling grandparent would bitch to their child about the grandkid's name? Take a chill pill". But sometimes the parent names the kind Xylmrn or something!
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

It's pronounced "Jackson." And spelled "Jaxsyn,"
More parents need to embrace what my Dad did: normal names or spelling, but you tell the kid something different until they need to see any official legal documents.

And spelled "Jaxsyn," which I have never seen before. So, that's different.
Goodness.
I have the program for the dance recital that my nieces participated in recently, and I JUDGED some of the choices parents made in naming their children. Judged them SO HARD.

She's been trying to start her own counseling practice for the past year. So far it hasn't been going great.
Gee. I'm shocked.
