How can I stop kids from teasing my son about his name?

Question

what is wrong with Pugsley?

Answer 1

hahahahaha!

Answer 2

It sounds like a cute little nickname for an overweight Pug.

Let him change his name before he turns 18. I'm sure he'd be eternally grateful.

Answer 3

there is nothing you can do to stop kids from being kids, you wont be there 24/7 to protect him and take up for the  teasing....not being rude or anything but puglsey sounds like a Fat something! not a very cute name...but life will go on ...its just a name

Answer 4

All the people that answered this question, making fun of him...

YOU ARE ALL SICK.

I think that name is quite nice. Its different, if you feel so uncomfortable about it move your son schools.

Answer 5

change his school or get him away from the kids that are picking on him and use his middle name or give him a nick name and tell the teachers at his new school to use that one on the registor or something to make sure the kids at kids wont fiind out and wen he is older he can deside wot he wants to do wid the name  

Answer 6

aha the addams family troll, thats a new one.

Answer 7

Change his name. That's terrible.  Giving kids a crappy name should be considered child abuse.

Answer 8

if he will stop reacting to it, there will be no payoff for them and they will stop

Answer 9

Everybody knows that kids all get teased.  Duh.  Even Pugsley Addams.

Answer 10

Seriously? You did this to him!? Change his name by deed poll, it's the least he deserves.

EDIT: oh ok I get it... LOL

Answer 11

Has he got a sister called Wednesday ?

Answer 12

awe, that's too bad. Do they tease Wednesday & cousin It also?

People are sooo mean!!!!

Edit.

WTF

What did I get a thumbs down for? I know it's a joke....do you?

You people really need a sense of humor.

Answer 13

Think of an alternate name, my friends official name is Leslie but everyone knows him as Patrick.

Answer 14

Change his name to Sebastian.

Answer 15

Aww, Pugsley is a lovely name :) it's very individual

Well you could contact the children's parents, or a teacher at school, and speak to them about it.

If you don't want to do that, just try to build your son's confidence so that he isn't affected by it so much. Getting your kids involved in martial arts is very good for self confidence. So are little words of encouragement and praise. Just remind him how special he is and how special his name is.

Hope it helps :)

Answer 16

Have him use his middle name.  You shouldn't have given him a name that was so easy to tease him about.  

Answer 17

Surely people know about the Adams family?  I bet you have a daughter called Wednesday and an uncle Fester too.

Answer 18

Get 'Thing' to 'happy slap' them!

Some people on here have no sense of humour!

Answer 19

I know this is a joke, but it does point out a huge problem that kids with stupid names have...for those of you that think it's great to give your kids a one-of-a-kind, unpronounceable, unspellable name, think about how often they're going to have to deal with that...

Answer 20

stop worrying  teach him to be tough

Answer 21

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Answer 22

I would've thought they'd be laughing at Wednesday.

Edit: LOL at all the serious answers!

Does no-one remember The Addams Family?

Answer 23

Change his name- it's the only way

Answer 24

tha'll help for sure!!!(trust me,its my experience)

Answer 25

Change his name , if it's really that bad.  

Answer 26

Change his name, or pay out some big money to pay for karate lessons so he can defend himself.

Answer 27
