Mum regrets giving her son a 'unique' name

A mother has spoken of her confusion after repeatedly being told how "unique" her son's name is. The continuous nature of the comments has caused her to become annoyed, and has even made her encourage others to use the name for their own children.

The mother took to Reddit to speak of her anguish, even including the reaction of the nurse in the hospital. Most who interacted with the post agreed the name was distinctive, though many said that it should be more common,The Mirror reports.

In her post, the American mum explained: "We named our baby boy Soren and a lot of people where I live have never heard it before. When my boyfriend suggested it I thought it sounded like a regular name even though it's uncommon. I had definitely heard it before even if I didn't remember where, but people keep telling me it's so 'unique.'"
