PICKING the perfect name for your little one isn’t always easy, especially as more and more parents are opting for more unique options.
But these parents might’ve taken things slightly too far when they named their kids, and they’ve been slammed online for it.
The children’s names were shared on Facebook, leaving people stunned[/caption]
One name in particular left people shocked[/caption]
This comes after someone spotted a display in a nursery with the names of some of the yougsters – and the monikers are the very quirky.
Posting in a Facebook group dedicated to sharing bizarre and unusual names, one person said: “I saw this today in the wild – cute names, but the spelling is atrocious, whyyyy?!”
Alongside the post was a picture showing the names, which included Naughtia, Devin, Mersaydez and Isiah.
After sharing the names fellow Facebook users agreed the spelling of the names could be step too far.
One said: “I’m sorry but Naughtiah’s parents should have been shamed in the hospital for that spelling, that is just atrocious.”
And a second made their feelings about one of the names clear as they slammed: “Naughtiyah?! I generally hate when people say that names are stripper/porn star names, but COME ON.”
“Naughty-uh? I know they did not do that to that poor baby. Nadia was finnnne,” a third chimed in.
“Naughtiah is actually wild oh my god,” someone else quipped.
And another chimed in: “At least Isaiah is spelled correctly! A cousin spelled her son’s name Isiaih.”
But the names aren’t the only ones that have caused a stir online recently as a couple shared the name they’ve picked out for their unborn daughter.
In the Facebook post, they explained they’d wanted to pay tribute to their parents, the baby’s grandparents, by coming up with a unique moniker using their three names.
“Fecalynn – honouring her grandparents Fernando, Cameron and Lynne – who are important parts of my husband’s and my lives,” the mum-to-be wrote.
The name announcement was shared on the That Name is a Tragedeigh group on Facebook, with the poster writing alongside a screenshot: “Just found this one. Poor Fecal!”
Unsurprisingly, the comments section was immediately filled with people taking aim at the parents over the choice of moniker.
“Give me strength! The lass must change her name when she turns 18,” one wrote.
“In other news: this kind of rubbish should be illegal to do to a future adult human,” another added.
“This is not even a good pet name!”
Are Unique Baby Names Worth The Hassle?
YOU may think having a unique name helps you to stand out, but is it all it’s cracked up to be?
Fabulous’ Deputy Editor Josie Griffiths reveals the turmoil she faced with her own name while growing up.
When I was a child, all I wanted was one of those personalised keyrings with my name on it.
But no joy, the closest I could find was Rosie, Joseph (not great for a little girl) and Joanne.
Josie is short for Josephine, which is a French name, and I managed to reach my 20s without ever meeting anyone who shared it.
When I try to introduce myself to people, I get all sorts of random things – like Tracey and Stacey – which can be pretty annoying.
Although I have come into contact with a couple of Josies over the last year – there seems to be a few of us around my age – it’s still a much rarer name than most of my friends have.
On the whole I don’t mind it, at least it’s not rude or crazily spelt.
And it means I can get away with ‘doing a Cheryl’ and just referring to myself as Josie.
I’m getting married this year and some friends are shocked that I’m changing my surname, as it’s not seen as very cool or feminist to do so these days, but I explain to them that I’m not that attached to Griffiths as I’d always just say ‘hi it’s Josie’ when ringing a mate up.
I think it’s nice to be unique and I’ll definitely try and replicate this when naming my own kids.
It’s the rude names you’ve got to watch out for, so after nine years as a lifestyle journalist I’ll definitely be avoiding those.
