Mum stuns with unique spelling of newborn’s name, as people sigh there’s ‘no more hope for mankind’
A MUM has left people sighing ‘there’s no more hope for mankind’ after revealing her newborn’s unique name.
The woman took to her social media pages to announce the arrival of the tot, as well as what she’d decided to call her.
But she ended up raising eyebrows for all the wrong reasons thanks to the way she’d chosen to spell the moniker.
Due to that, the picture of the baby in its cot with a name sign at the head ended up being shared on renowned Facebook group That Name is a Tragedeigh.
So what’s the name, you might ask.
It’s Serenity Jean, but with a twist – namely that the first name is actually spelt ‘Serwrenidy’.
“You gotta be kiddingh!” the poster joked.
And the comments section of the post was immediately filled with others slamming the name choice, with one writing: “We’ve reached the end of the interweb with this.
“There’s no more hope for mankind!”
“The name is cute, but the spelling is… Uh… Yikes,” another sighed.
“I just know their family is laughing at the name they picked!” a third commented.
“Middle name Jean being spelt traditionally is like the final slap to the face,” someone else laughed.
“No, no, no, no, no, just no!!!!” another yelled.
“That poor baby,” someone else said.
And others even said that the spelling of the name made them thing of the word ‘sewer’.
“My husband said ‘Sewer Entity… nice name!'” one wrote.
“My brain pronounces it as Sewer-nidy Jean,” another added.
“I thought it said Sewer in Sewerenidy. lmao,” a third commented.

Nöel Wolf, linguistic expert Babbel said: “We predict a move towards shorter names, with a playful quality – such as Arlo, or Isla – reflecting the current trend towards minimalism in modern life.
“Names that are traditionally heard as nicknames, such as Freddie or Theo, are making a comeback, signalling a move away from formality.
“Additionally, we will see a rise of nature-inspired names, such as River, Lily, and Ivy. And a trend in recent years that we also expect to continue, is the rise of classical names, for example, Margot, Dorothy, August.”
“Sewer Jean,” someone else groaned.
“Sewer-what???” another questioned.
“When I started reading it, I thought it said Sewer. Had to slow down cos wtf,” someone else admitted.
The name controversy comes after a new study revealed the names that are quickly becoming favourites and topping the 2025 name charts already.
The research was put together using internal data from My 1st Years, the UK’s leading personalised baby gift brand, and revealed that Luca, Teddy and Jude are some of the most popular of the year.
According to the study, personalised gift orders using the name Luca are up a whopping 21 per cent,
“When it comes to real-time baby name trends, gift sales often beat the birth certificate,” Molly Ejdowski, spokesperson at My 1st Years, said.
“Luca’s rise is especially interesting, it’s stylish, pan-European, and growing fast.”
On the girl front, Isla remains one of the favourites.
