I have a classmate named Melanie during grades school. Some of my classmate bullied Melanie because of the name. Actually, Melanie was a bright child and the best artist in our class. The problem was the name because my classmate Melanie is a boy...

OMG haha I was wondering what's in the name. Bully's should bully the parents not the child as it's not his choice. kidding.

@simplfred I experienced being added to the girls list during high school because of my name.

i had a female classmate named loreto and she said teachers get surprised on the first day of class. it's really the parent's fault, but i hope melanie is doing well in spite of this lifetime inconvenience.

I know most people have been bullied and I was one of them. It was quite devastating

I agree, my friend. The memories of being bullied won't just leave quickly like until now it hunts me in my dreams.

Why was the girl's name accepted for a boy by the registrar?

I don't know if there's a ruling like that here.
