‘Sounds like a flatulence medicine’ people mock baby name & feel sorry for teachers who have to pronounce it
A MUM has been slammed over her choice of baby name, with some people saying it sounds like a “flatulence medicine”.
Picking a name for your child can be an incredibly tricky task.
You want to find something that is both beautiful and different, but that’s not so out there that your child ends up being bullied at school.
Many people choose their kids’ names based on characters in books or films, and some even make names up themselves.
The mum’s unique monikers were posted on a subreddit called “Tragedeigh” which highlights what users believe are tragic or embarrassing names.
One mum shared a picture of the board outside her child’s nursery, and highlighted the unusual names that were featured on it.
One of the children was name “Marleigh”, whilst another was named “Ezlyn”.
However, it was the third name which caught the attention of Reddit users.
The moniker was written as “Wynzxlle”, and many were at a loss as to how to pronounce it.
“I can’t even begin to imagine how Wynzxylle is pronounced”, someone despaired in the comments section of the post.
The mum responded saying: “So I asked the teacher…Pronounced like Denzel with a W lol, never would have guessed”.
Other commenters criticised the child’s mother for giving such an unusual name.
One person said: “I’m sorry but f* that ahole parent for doing that s.
“I mean what in the actual f? How is that kid ever gonna have anyone get their poor name right??
“That is NOT how those letters work! So s***ty of their parents.”
Another person added: “The poor kid won’t be able to spell or write their name until like second grade!
The struggle of choosing a baby name
CHLOE Morgan, a Senior Writer at Fabulous, has revealed her dilemma on choosing a baby name...
At 35 weeks pregnant, by far the trickiest part of pregnancy for me in the past few months (minus the insomnia and countless night-time wee breaks!) has been trying to decide on a baby name.
The dilemmas are endless…
My partner and I went for a private scan to find out the gender as early as we could – partly due to the fact we thought it would make baby naming so much easier because we’d only have to come up with a list of names for one gender rather than two.
How wrong we were…
I was absolutely thrilled to be told I was expecting the baby girl I’d already dreamed of, but being one of the last of my friends to fall pregnant, I’ve had countless conversations over the years with excited pals discussing their top baby names…something which I wish I could go back in time and un-hear.
With each friend mentioning at least 10 possible monikers, I can’t help but feel like several are now a no-go even though I know it’s something that none of them would mind in the slightest – it’s a total me problem!
The debate comes up time and time again on social media forums – can you choose the same name that was a “potential” for a friend’s baby?
It’s a very divisive topic and opinions are always mixed…and I don’t want to be THAT person.
While some will argue there’s thousands of other names out there to choose from, others will say you need to choose YOUR favourite…after all, there’s no guarantee that person will even have another baby.
Then there’s also the issue of finding a name you adore…only to research it online and read one negative comment amongst hundreds of positives that you just can’t shake off.
I made that very mistake when I fell in love with a certain name (I won’t reveal it because I don’t want to ruin it for others!) …only to see someone point out that it constantly gets autocorrected on a phone to something rather rude instead.
So, back to the drawing board we went..
Just five weeks to go and it looks like our little one is going to be known as ‘baby gal’ for a little while longer!
“And forget about ever getting your name on a mug or keyring.”
A third person added: “Sounds like flatulence medication.”
A fourth added: “That’s not a baby name, they are the letter tiles that are still left in your hand after an unsuccessful round of Scrabble.”
