My cousin combined two names for her daughter but it’s so horrific I can’t say it aloud – mum’s reaction was priceless
While some people opt for traditional names, others prefer to go for something a little more unique.
But no matter what your personal preferences, we can all agree on one thing – to choose a baby name that won’t impact the child as they get older.

“My 20-year-old cousin had a baby girl last month,” she wrote on Reddit.
“She named her something so horrific I cannot even call the baby it.
“She combined two names and came up with Harlotte, after her grandparents Harvey and Charlotte.”
The horrified family member went on to say how her cousin decided to keep the name a secret until her daughter was born….and the papers were signed.
Only, once the moniker was finally revealed, her shocked mum caused quite the scene.
“My mum burst out, “YOU NAMED THE BABY W***E???” and my cousin started screaming,” she recalled.
“We are a loud family, but holy hell.
“This poor child. Harlotte. She came out very pink and has a puggy nose so I’m calling her Piglet for now.”
The post caused quite the stir online, with many quick to express their own views on the name in question.
“That’s INSANE. Charlotte itself had everything she wanted. Poor kid,” wrote one.
A second penned: “I would immediately and insistently start calling that child Lottie and never look back.”
A third penned: “I appreciate your mum saying exactly what literally everyone else was thinking.
“What kind of screaming was this that happened afterwards? Like, angry screaming, or, ‘Omg I just named my baby w***e” screaming?'”
Meanwhile, a fourth noted: “If she doesn’t immediately change it to Charlotte, she’s a bad person for not making things right for her child’s future.”
Another questioned: “Presumably they’re going to change it now they know what it means?”
