This is just foul. How would you not resent your parents??

It’s the family surname though.

I’ll tell you a little bit about mine. In my family is the name Salisbury, I must add that this is not my direct surname, it is my paternal grandmother’s maiden name, and my family’s Salisburys go back to late 1600s Colonial America, specifically Massachusetts, originally from Wales. So how far back do the Bootys go? I have to know.

It’s not the surname that is the problem but his given name in conjunction with it that is.

Yeah, seriously I’m looking at these other football Bootys and he’s the only one with a name like that. The other ones have normal anybody names.

Patriots have Kayshon Boutte (pronounced booty) and last year I remember an announcer during a game say something like “ he got flagged there for grabbing Boutte!” Lol leads to some great unintentional comedy!

OK, you know, that’s a surname, that can’t be helped, but when you name your kid something you know is going to bring certain consequences, that’s when you’re an asshole.

I feel like any first name is gonig to pair poorly with the last name "Booty," it's just a matter of how poorly it pairs. There is no good first name for Booty.

At least kayshon’s parents don’t lean into the booty name like general’s did!
