Today, I discovered that my name literally means "burden". This wouldn't be so bad if both my mother and father knew this when they named me. FML

Well maybe it means something else in another language, like "a fuckstick from heaven" or " graceous retard" those at least have a small positive connotation

Amos is burden in Hebrew I believe, if it's not that I don't know. Oh and get over it, if that's your only complaint with your parents.

I think it would be worse if your parents named you 'burden' for a reason If your parents didn't know, it doesn't matter...

Dick has been the standard shortened form (nickname) for Richard for hundreds of years. The fact that the same word became used as slang for penis is *probably* coincidental. So the real question to ask is: "why did "dick" come to mean penis?" Just as the word "pussy" originally meant a cat - again, I suspect the slang came along later. Lots of other examples: the word "tit" until quite recently only meant "a small bird". It might even have become slang for breast due to the analogy between a breast and a small bird. And far more recently, the word "gay" only meant "very happy". Again, the slang meaning came along later.

Also, when you use "pussy" to call out a person who is weak or cowardly, it's actually the shortened form of the word "pusillanimous". Fun fact.

FYL for thinking you parents didn't think you were a burden. You deserved it for having that name.

I think OP probably meant to say that their parents did infect know when they named them.

don't take it so personally. they didn't know you personally then, they just knew they were having a baby., which are huge burdens.

Isn't this a repost? I read the same one a few weeks ago, except instead of the name meaning 'burden', it meant penis in French.

37, "tit" probably comes from "teat", which is basically a woman's breast/nipple.

also, in response to "This wouldn't be so bad if both my mother and father knew this when they named me." : i think it would have been much worse if both your mom & dad had known what it meant when they named you. knowingly naming your child BURDEN...haha that's so messed up.

I think OP may have worded it incorrectly, and meant that both parents did in fact know the meaning.

I thought anon was just short for anonymous. Op do you live up to your name? 'Cause it sounds like you do. FYL because I feel like your name is the the first "gift" your parents give you. My name means "Water Lily".(:

People name their children a lot worse than this. Be happy you're not named after a sexual organ or sexually transmitted disease simply because your parents were ignorant and thought the word sounded interesting. I've seen children named ****** and Chlamydia because their teenage ghetto mothers thought they were "pretty words".
