A mum-to-be has hit back at online trolls who claimed the name she has chosen for her baby daughter is "very strange" and "awful". On Mumsnet, the pregnant woman originally sought advice for a middle name to accompany the first name selected for her baby.
But things soon turned sour when people slammed the baby's first name. Captioning the post, the woman wrote: "Middle name for Hero."
She said: "Expecting a baby girl and we've decided on first name Hero. Our other children have unusual but not unheard of names with more traditional middle names but struggling to find a name that flows nicely with Hero.

"Our first pick was Emilia but gone off it a little now, any suggestions? Our last name is rare but not 'weird' or able to be turned into a joke, and begins with an S."
It all kicked off in the comments, reports the Mirror. One person wrote: "Hero is bad enough but Hero for a girl is rubbish."
Another person said: "Hero is awful. Very strange indeed."
Hitting back, the mum responded: "The first name isn't up for discussion really, we've chosen it. A traditional middle name is what we're looking for to match our other children's middle names."
She also branded some of the responses "unhelpful". But one person liked the name Hero.
They said: "I think Hero is nice! You could stick with the Shakespearean theme - Hero Helena sounds nice."
