Seriously don't be mean and name your kid this, it's terrible seriously.

The last person who commented is obviously not French. Baptiste is a common name in France and I doubt that children named Baptiste get teased there. The French might consider names like Paige and Madison weird, while Baptiste or Océane are normal for them.

I'm not a huge fan of the name Baptiste and can't imagine it on a little child, but choosing that name for a kid is certainly not 'mean'.

Baptiste Giabiconi, a very famous young model who was hand-picked by Karl Lagerfeld to be the face of Chanel, has this name. Very suiting for an attractive 20 year old-ish young man.
