FROM weight to hair colour, there are various things that kids are bullied for by cruel kids at school.
But one mother has vented her frustration after finding out her young daughter Marian is being teased by a boy at nursery for not having a "real" name.
Taking to Reddit, the anonymous woman penned: "My five-year-old daughter's name is Marian and there's a boy in her kindergarten class who keeps telling her that her real name is Mary because Marian isn't a real name.
"I've told her about Robin Hood and her princess name, and that there are lots of variations of her name in every country."
The concerned mother went on to say that her daughter is aware she was named in honour of her "aunt Mary" - adding that she wanted her to have her own "special name" and be her own "special self."

She also noted that the kid who keeps telling her daughter that her name isn't real is called 'Grayson.'
"It takes all I have in me to hold my tongue and not give her fire for this smug little kid," the woman raged.
"I did tell her she could call him Gray."
The post has since been inundated with comments from social forum users - with many sharing their own stories.
"As someone who was around quite a bit of name-based teasing as a kid, most of my time here is spent letting people know when their proposed name leaves a wide opening for a nasty kid," wrote one.
"But the truth is that kids will make fun of someone because of anything, even if it doesn't make sense.
"Her name could be Mary and Grayson would still be making fun of her."
A second agreed: "You're right. Kids in my primary school used to make fun of a boy named Anthony.
"They called him Anthony the Pantony and found it hilarious.
A third penned: "That reminds me of the girl that teased my daughter about her name.

"Little snot-nosed brat was named Tyleigh.
"Her parents threw some Scrabble tiles around to pick her name yet she has the audacity to come for my daughter’s established name?!"
Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: "When I was in first grade, a boy named Kenneth asked me what my middle name was.
"When I told him, he made me cry because he said it was an old lady’s name. Looking back, I can’t believe how ironic that was."
A further quipped: "You should tell your kid to ask Grayson if his dad is named Gray lol."
