Mum who regrets her baby's name admits she 'dreads' saying it aloud as people mispronounce it

Mispronouncing an unusual name can be easily done but it can be a rather sore subject for new parents who might have struggled to choose a moniker for their little one. A mum has confessed she regrets the name she gave to her daughter after people repeatedly pronounce it wrong.

After admitting that their mistakes make her cringe, the woman is eager to change her child's name as she can't stand it much longer as she 'dreads' introducing her child to people. Taking to Reddit, the anonymous mother explained that picking out her child's name had been 'stressful' and she eventually caved and decided on a name she had never been 'fond' of.

She explained: "During my pregnancy, we loved the name Margot but then realised it rhymed with our last name so we vetoed it. We never really agreed on any other names. My husband liked Camilla but I was never fond of it.
