    Blessica Blimpson sounds like a name that someone just made up, but they are just really bad at it.

            True, but a lot of players feel that his absurdist name was a nod to DMs trying to come up with names at the last minute. I’ll paste this comment from reddit, since I think the OP nailed the sentiment.

            DM: “Alright, the parole council is led by Councillor So-and-so, and Ser Such-and-such is present as well. What do you do?”

            Players: “Hey, didn’t you mention an Aarakocra, what’s his name?”

            DM: “Uhhh… John… I mean… Jarn…a…than? Yeah, Jarnathan!”

            Sauce: down this comment chain

              Ah fair enough, that sounds plausible and I might even have thought so myself at one point. I was thinking in context of the characters in the scene not the DnD game being played.

    Tragedeigh. Blessica would be made fun of regardless of the last name. Name her Jessica and use Blessica as a cutesy moniker if you have to, but those idiotic names are just a recipe for disaster and should be considered child abuse.

      Blessica is a real name used in the Phillipines. Expand your cultural horizons a little bit, dude.

        For a second, I was grateful for the interesting, useful information in the first sentence. Your second sentence is unnecessarily condescending and obnoxious, though.

              I’m not the one making fun of a name just because it’s from a different culture. Seems pretty racist to me.

    Make her middle name Allison or Aimie or Anna.

    That way she can either go by her middle name, or her acronym:

    Bab(s).

    … Until she either rewrites ‘Boy Named Sue’ or legally changes her name.
