Imagine spending months wracking your brain trying to decide what to name your baby boy - only to discover you've had a girl. That's exactly what happened to one woman, who unfortunately had already began stitching the name into her child's clothes before the birth.

She took to Reddit to question whether she was in the wrong for calling her daughter 'Warren' - and revealed a heartbreaking reason behind wanting to keep the name.

However, her family still do not approve and her sister believes she is 'not thinking rationally' about the situation.
