A mum has defended her daughter's unusual name after relatives and strangers mistook it as a slang word for cannabis and said she wouldn't get a job in the future. Tenille Bain, 33, named her daughter Chree - pronounced 'tree' - after her partner Michael, 29, jokingly suggested it.
Despite it initially being a joke, the beauty technician loved the name and decided to stylise it Chree in homage to her mum, Cheryl, 58. But some of the couple’s family were not fans – suggesting the name was similar to the slang word for cannabis – tree.
Chree's middle names are Mary Jane - another slang phrase for marijuana.
