A mum who gave her children "classic" names has shared her frustrations about people mispronouncing them. The unnamed parent said one of her daughters is regularly mistaken for a boy because of her name.
While many parents try to get creative with their children's names these days, one mum never thought the names she had given her daughters would cause any problems. But sharing her issue on parenting forum Mumsnet, the frustrated woman said people just can't seem to grasp the correct pronunciation of her daughters' names.
She had named her daughters Beatrix and Lois, saying they were "classic" names that would be easy to pronounce, with "minimal room for misinterpretation", the Mirror reports. But she soon came to realise not everyone found the names so easy to get right.
