When it comes to baby names, there's a lot to consider before making your final decision - do you both really like the moniker, does it have any negative connotations, will the child get bullied for it...
As such, one woman has claimed that she's been left "mortified" on behalf of her baby niece after her sister shared her name choice on Instagram.
The older sister had been telling her family for a while that she planned to give her daughter a more traditional, popular name like Elizabeth, Anna or Ella.
So it's fair to say everyone's jaws dropped when they learned that the little girl had actually been called Kynzlynleigha Everella.

Pronounced Kin-zlin-lee-uh Ever-ella, the name did not go down well with the grandparents who reportedly hate unique names.
Writing in a post on Reddit's Am I The A**hole forum, the anonymous auntie from the US branded the name "atrocious" and said she'd told her sister as much.
She said: "My sister has never been close to my family because she moved to LA to become an influencer, and is trying to live the LA influencer lifestyle.
"She had her baby last week and did not have any idea what to name the baby girl. My sister told us she was thinking of names like Elizabeth, Ashley, Ella, Anna and names like that. My mom was very happy with those names, as she ALWAYS talks bad about parents who give their babies weird unique names. I was suspicious though because there was no way that’s actually what my sister was considering for names.
"Well, I saw my sister post on Instagram her baby's name announcement, and I was mortified. The poor baby's name is Kynzlynleigha Everella. (Kin-zlin-lee-uh, Ever-ella). I nearly stopped breathing it was the biggest mouthful of a name I have ever seen."
The woman continued to say: "My parents were astonished, and disappointed. We called her and told her how the baby will always get picked on, and she just hung up.
"I know it is her and her husband’s baby, but the name is atrocious. AITA?????"
More than 100 people replied to the post, with many agreeing the name was going to cause issues for the child in the future.
One person said: "I've worked in enough kindergarten classrooms to know that poor little kynzlywhatcha is going to spend a lot of tears learning to spell her name and will probably pick a nickname pretty fast."
Another replied: "It's going to take that kid until she's in 4th grade to learn how to write her own name."
Someone else thought: "That kid's life won't be easy. I mean, this name is about Elon Musk kid's level."
A different user added: "Poor baby."
