Urggh.. How to make them stop making fun of my middle name...?

Question

Guys I have a problem. At school there are these girls in my class who keep teasing me about my name. I know you might think this is normal adolecent behaviour but seriously when a teacher says my Name they will say my middle name in a teasing sort of way. By the way my dad is argentine and my mum is English and My first name is Lionel and my middle name is Matthew since my mum is from England. I dont see how it is a bad middle name i think it is that they dont understand a argentine boy to have such a middle name. I know I can handle them the girls in my school have a tendency to leave you alone when you say something really dominant. Its just i dont know what to say. Please tell me what to tell them so that they leave me alone once and for all.

Answer 3

Just pretend that it doesn't bother you.  Glance at them with a slight look of amusement on your face next time they do it.  When they see they don't embarrass or get a rise out of you they'll eventually stop.  

It may get worse for a little while once you start ignoring them but it will eventually stop if they don't get any reinforcement from it (your embarrassment).  Good luck!

Answer 4

They probably fancy you and in a childish way think they're getting your attention and you will end up liking them.

If they're just nasty, ignore them, or say "Yes, that's it, I like it" or something else that is strong but not agressive.

Answer 5

The best way is try to ignore the name calling .They will get fed-up with it if they get no reaction from you .This is a form of bullying .The best way to deal with it give no satisfaction to them by reacting .

Answer 6

Girl do the same thing with my middle name "Allen". Here's what I do. I'm naturally funny so I either crack jokes on them or flirt around with them if they're cute. That should most defintely get them to stop teasing you.

Answer 7

Answer 8

whats wrong with the name matthew. matthew is a normal name, i actually like the name matthew,  and they are just being childish for making fun of it.  

Answer 9

say: 'what is your problem?'

OR

'what do you have against me?'

and then they wont be able to answer.

hahaha :P

Answer 10

Matthew is a great name. They obviously like you but haven't grown up enough to show it in any other way.

I would just look puzzled and vaguely amused every time they say something about it.

Answer 11

just completely ignore them or tell them to stop being so childish and immature and to grow up. my best friend in junior school was called matthew (I'm from england) and i think its a great name. what are their names? i bet they are stupid. it's probably just because they like you or something - either that or they are so sad that they have nothing better to do.

i know a lot of people called matthew and i think it's a cool name. :) like matty or matt - ignore them, they are just silly.

Answer 12

I really fail to see what's so bad about your name.

They sound extremley immature if you ask me.

But my mum had the same problem when she was younger, people used to tease her about her name, but she retaliated by doing something they wouldnt at all expect, through going along with what they said. If you ever get the chance, i'd advise you to do this cause it worked out for her. Just laugh it off, or just simply ignore them. You need to show them you don't care and they will stop this.

:)

Answer 13

Allow it, just smile towards them. More like a smrik.

If it still annoys you.. Dude, just tell them to SHUT THE **** UP!

Answer 14

You can throw it back by saying that 'The name Matthew means gift of the Lord'

Can't get a better recommendation than that can you (if you believe that is).

Matthew is a good strong name - I like it - be proud of it.

AND - if they take the mickey out of you or tease you - it usually means they like you (a lot).

Answer 15

You sid it yourself, they are teasing you. Next time, just turn around, smile, and blow them a kiss. They are only trying to get your attention, so don't be upset. If you can show them that it doesn't bother you, they will eventually stop or get the courage up to try and get to know you. Would you rather be the boy that no one notices? Take it in stride and accept the fact that someone will always find something to tease you about. If you can accept it, you can deal with it better.
