Woman shows off unusual family setup, but it’s her son’s name that REALLY gets people talking
A WOMAN who took to TikTok to show off her unusual family setup has found herself facing criticism over her son’s unique name.
Raeanne shared a video on the social media site in which she introduced her young siblings and her own children.
“This is my brother, he’s four,” she began, before moving the camera to her two-year-old sister.
“This is Isabelle, she’s my daughter,” Raeanne continued.
“And this is Zealand, my baby boy!” she concluded as she gave her son a hug.
And despite Raeanne intending the video to set the record straight about which of the kids in her videos are hers and which are her siblings, many of the commenters were quick to have their say on her son’s name.
“What will happen when you have a third kid and name him New Zealand?” one person wrote.
“Is Zealand a real name or made up?” another added.

“Why did you call your son Zealand?” a third wrote.
“Zealand?? someone else commented, while another added: “Why would you name a person Zealand?”
Others praised Raeanne for choosing such a unique name, with one writing: “Awwwh Zealand such a cute name ahh.”
And some speculated Raeanne opted for the name after YouTubers The LaBrant Family’s son Zealand.
In other videos on TikTok, Raeanne revealed her little boy wasn’t conceived in New Zealand.
“We LOVE his name,” she added. “And it’s just as beautiful and ‘good’ as our daughter’s.”
In response to another question asking what she would have called Zealand if he had been a girl, she replied: “I liked the name Blakely or Zola.”
In other baby name news, this mum is being trolled for calling her daughter Aprycot, but insists we should worry more about the bullies.
This woman is naming her child after her dead dog and doesn’t care if people think it’s weird.
And this person angered her employee by using her baby name – even though she’s not pregnant.
