- Personal experiences with the name Colm
My friend is named Colm. He got teased for his name because of his personality. "Colm isn't calm at all," my other friends say. Then Colm asked them to knock it off. Sadly, they didn't. And Colm moved away to another school, I never heard from him again. I just wanted to say please don't hang out with fake friends, sometimes they make you lose real ones. If Colm ever reads this, I hope I'll see his smile again.
