FINDING the perfect name for your little one isn’t always easy, especially if you don’t want to give them something too popular.
But that’s exactly where some parents go wrong, at least that’s the sister-in-law of one mum might think.
She recently took to to slam her her brother’s beau and soon-to-be mum for the unique name she’s set on.
“The word Sugar has a special meaning in their relationship that I won’t get into so they want to name their daughter Sugar,”; she revealed.
“Everyone in our family has been telling her this is a bad idea and suggesting more conventional names but she insists that it should at least be something sugar-themed,”; she added.
But even after sharing some other name suggestions, including Honey, Dulcie, and more, the mum still wouldn’t budge.
After sharing the situation on social media, Reddit users were shocked by the unique name.
One said: “Are we sure she’s not naming a dog?”;
And others said the name was simply “inviting harassment”; and would “lead to ”; for the kid.
“Why can’t sugar be a cute family nickname, but give the poor kid a proper name,”; another suggested.
“Just because sugar has some meaning to them doesn’t mean they should brand a child with that,”; someone else said.
“Name her a nice name and then call her sugar as a nickname as a baby. Sounds selfish to me,”; they added.
But this isn’t the first time a baby name has caused a stir on Reddit, as another mum was slammed for the unique moniker she gave to her first born
The mum’s 29-year-old sister explained that she was “genuinely happy”; for her sister, who “had a rough couple of years.”;
However, this did not stop her from sharing her rather harsh reaction to her new niece’s name.
ccording to the Redditor, her sister had opted to call the baby M’leigha Seraphynne.
She said that her sister “insists”; that the name is pronounced Mah-lay-uh Seraphine.
Her sister revealed her reasoning, explaining that “normal names are boring, and my daughter deserves to stand out.”;
“She looked hurt and asked why I didn’t like it, so I, probably too bluntly, said: ‘Because it sounds like a WiFi password,'”; she wrote.
The poster explained that her sister “immediately got defensive”; and called her “judgmental and unsupportive.”;
According to her sister, nobody else had a problem with the unique name.
