Shame on Southwest!? No. Shame on that mother for choosing such a ridiculously stupid name for her child.

Shame on the airlines? I'm sorry. That name caught the person (not the airline) off guard and if it were me I would have laughed too.

When pronounced correctly, i like it!!! Bad parenting? For giving your child a unique and out of the ordinary kind of name?? Screw that!! I went to school with 4 others that had my same name that were in my grade, in a class of 90!

The attendant shouldn't have done that, but the parents should seriously be ashamed for naming their kid the first 5 letters of the alphabet lol

What the hell do they think is going to happen to that girl her whole life now? That's bad parenting.

I blame the mother for this. If she hadn't given the girl such a stupid name (all because the mother thought it to be cute and original) this wouldn't have happened. I wouldn't have said anything to their face but laughed like hell behind their back.
Would your name your kid "Uranus" because it's the name of a planet and it sounds cool?

O.o I honestly thought that name was a Lewis Black joke. Someone used it?

I'm sure this was not the first and it will not be the last time a joke has been made at this poor child's expense because of the name her parent imposed on her. I'm not going to clutch my pearls in feigned outrage and stop flying Southwest because of this.

They should have called out the mother instead of the kid. No one in their right mind would give a child such a name.

They have an amazing safety record. Re: [airlineratings.com]

"In the 43 years it’s taken for Texas based Southwest Airlines to grow from an irreverent, upstart carrier to the largest domestic airline in the United States it has suffered a sole safety-related fatality. Beneath the fun and frolic that characterize the Southwest’s public persona there’s a no-nonsense – and serious – culture of safety that saves lives.

"To fully fathom how remarkable the single safety-related fatality is you’ve got to consider that over the first 42 years of its 43-year existence, the period for which we have complete numbers, Southwest transported some 1.7 billion passengers – 1,708,515,297 to be precise. During the same timeframe it made 23.9 million trips."
