destined to go through life with a name that he'll spend his live explaining! Gawd knows how it's pronounced! Some people are just to stupid to breed.

Jesus wept. Musk may be a genius, but at the same time he's an utter imbecile.

[naomi24]

I just have to ask why? Why would anyone do that?

No doubt he'll have a nickname and that's what he'll be known by for life.

[Canary42]

Another loony "celeb" trying to grab the headlines from all the other twerps.

As someone who has gone through life spelling my surname and still having it written wrongly (and it's a very short one), I cringe at people who give their child a common name but spell it differently "to be different".

[youngmafbog]

Like many genius types Musk doesn't appear to have much common sense.

Still, the kid can change it in the future when he inherits his parents millions. In the mean time he is likely to be at school with a load of others who have been dumped with an unfortunate moniker.

[tomus42]

Treating one's child as an accessory rather than a human being. It's a celebrity thing rather than a genius thing.

"Æ, a ligature of a and e known as ash, appeared in Latin and Old English but has mostly fallen out of use. "

there you go -he'll get called 'Ash'

[youngmafbog]

I'm afraid it is not restricted to celebrities, although I wouldn't class the nutter Musk as a celeb.

There are plenty of the me me me generation who treat their kids as accessories. As a parent of a me me me I have seen this first hand with her chums (She does not have a child just yet but the signs are she will follow).

My daughter is expecting a baby in a few weeks time and is still undecided on a name. I can't wait to hear what she has to say when I tell her about this name. Well I would tell her if I could pronounce it!

[Zacs-Master]

I once heard of a bloke naming his son, Sue. I think he went to jail for it. I could be getting mixed up, tho.

[tomus42]

//there you go -he'll get called 'Ash' //

Ash Musk. Still not sounding that great to be honest. Might be a good name for a deodorant though.

[Spicerack]

There's a world wide media campaign against Musk at the moment.
And he likes to take the P out of SJW types on twitter.
Maybe that accounts for the media campaign.
Don't lose any sleep over this 'poor' boy.
He's one of the luckiest people in the world.

//He's one of the luckiest people in the world. //

How come? Having eealthy parents does not give you the golden ticket to happiness.

[AuntPollyGrey]

*wealthy*

[Spicerack]

Beats being born in a third world country, poll.
If you're unhappy, it's probably better to do it in luxury.

a strawpoll amongst colleagues -

X Æ A-12 is pronounced "Bulltish"

“Money can't buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.”

― Spike Milligan

[Mozz71]

Mushy, I thought it was pronounced "Mydadisatit"

[aelmpvw]

A-12, twelfth letter being L so i suppose he'll say 'you can call me al'

bhg: "As someone who has gone through life spelling my surname and still having it written wrongly" - yep me too! I have the NATO phonetics ingrained! We have Indian guys at work with names 30 chars long, gawd knows how they manage!
