Mum urged not to use 'terrible' baby name to 'save daughter embarrassment'

Choosing a baby name isn't always an easy task if you don't have a clear favourite or you and your partner can't quite see eye to eye on any names that you consider.

One mum-to-be struggling to pick a name decided to post her list of suggestions online after receiving "mixed reactions" from family members, but soon realised that it wasn't just her family that wasn't keen on the monikers - as strangers also told her that some of her options were "terrible".

The mum, who said she was expecting her first daughter, posted a list of potential names including Alicen, Theia, Eridan, Arielle, Exa, Angelana, and Vierra, and was told that while some of her choices were fine, others were trying too hard to be unique with their spellings.
