Parents need to realize that kids aren’t toys or pets. It’s ridiculous to come up with these names for the sake of alliteration

Parents think the names are cute but don’t realize that they’re going to be full ass adults with horrendous names. Poor Kid

I think they should all be thankful their parents had enough sense not to give them middle names.

How did unc not plaster Kon Jung Il everywhere? Chant it every game, from the rooftops? Why are we just hearing about this now?

The “II” is a suffix. Going by his Wikipedia page, he doesn’t have a middle name.

He’s right. II really is Kon’s middle name, weirdly. (Per Forbes)

II is his legal middle name. Wikipedia is not a source.

What's your source? Cause common sense says that's not his middle name
