A mum has expressed her frustration at how frequently people mispronounce her daughter's "classic" names. She took to Mumsnet to complain that even members of her family sometimes make the mistakes.
Her children are called Beatrix and Lois, which she thought would be fairly straightforward to say, according to The Mirror. The mum says she understands when people make small errors, but can't help getting annoyed at when people mispronounce the names in some pretty spectacular ways.
Writing in the 'Am I Being Unreasonable?' forum on Mumsnet, the mother, who chose to remain anonymous, explained: " I have two daughters, Beatrix and Lois. I thought these were two classic names with a single settled pronunciation each, with minimal room for misinterpretation, at least by native English speakers. Both was I wrong!"
