Being bullied for whatever reason can affect a person well into adulthood. It's therefore completely understandable that those who've suffered this sort of ordeal would want to protect their own children from similar treatment. One woman knows the pain of being bullied all too well, with classmates having taken aim at her unusual name.
The woman, whose name is Kandy, says she was plagued with all sorts of cruel nicknames as a schoolkid, including "candy bar" and "candy cane". She also came up against hurdles as an adult, with many people not treating her seriously on account of her name. Therefore, when the time came to name her own kids, she decided to opt for more traditional choices.
