'I can't stand my name - clearly my nasty parents want me to be bullied for life'

A woman has turned her back on her parents for condemning her to a "lifetime of problems" because of her name. She explained how her parents wanted to make sure she stood out in a crowd and decided to give her a "unique" name to help accomplish this.

However, she claims it has negatively impacted her life and made her resent them for it. Taking to Reddit, she said: "My scumbag parents named me Qur'stylle, and my whole life I have gotten 'What language is your name originated from?', 'What country are you from?', and people butchering its pronunciation, for obvious reasons.

"I have always told people to just spell it as Chrystal and my parents, mainly my mum, would take huge offense to it - and would email my teachers every year to make sure they pronounce my name correctly. My mum even grounded me once because I told people to just save my name as Chrystal in their contacts."
