Naming your little one can sometimes be tricky, and when you know how cruel some people can be, it's important to think about how other people will see your baby's name - especially if there's a pun or joke to be made from it.
One mum on Mumsnet has shared the baby name that one of her friends chose for their daughter, and it's sparked debate online as people can't quite decide whether the moniker is "daft" or not.
In her post, the mum said she met the friend and her husband while on holiday in Florida, and found it "odd" when they told her their daughter's name was Isla-Skye.

While the woman's friend is American, her husband "sounded English" so the mum, who is from the UK, thinks there's no way the couple wouldn't know that their daughter's name sounds exactly like the Isle of Skye when said out loud.
She wrote: "Am I the only one who thinks this name is stupid?
"So, I just met a family who named their daughter Isla-Skye. Which literally sounds like the Isle of Skye when you say it out loud. Am I the only one who thinks it's so odd to give that name to a baby? Or did it just catch me off guard?
"Also, they were in Florida but the Dad sounded English or Australian."
The woman's post sparked debate among other Mumsnet users, although many agreed that the name was "daft", especially if you can make the association with the Scottish island.
One person said: "It’s pretty daft, especially if you’re Scottish. I would hear it as literally Isle of Skye."
While another added: "I’ve said this before and I shall it again! There should be somebody at the registrar’s office who can say ‘ no don’t be stupid, think of something else’."
But others disagreed as they thought the name was "pretty" and said it wasn't anybody's business what parents choose to name their children.
Someone said: "Their baby their choice in my opinion. There may be names we don't like but each to their own."
As someone else wrote: "What’s wrong with being named after the Isle of Skye? It’s supposedly beautiful isn’t it?"
"I think it’s quite pretty but I see I’m in a minority", a third stated.
