A Welsh mum has stood by her decision to give her daughter an unusual name - even though she absolutely hates it. Sarah Hearne, aged 55, from Swansea, has always “loved unusual names” and chose unique names for her five children, naming one of her daughters Kixxie.
Four of her children love their names, but Kixxie, aged 19, isn’t a fan of hers because it’s actually pronounced ‘Kizzy’ - so nobody ever gets it right. Sarah fell in love with the name Kizzy after a character which featured in her favourite childhood TV show, Roots, but “wanted something unique”.

Sarah even named a dog Kixxie before her daughter was born. “Normal names are boring and there’s no substance to them,” she told the Mirror. “I don’t like my name particularly. I’ve always liked the name Kixxie ever since I first heard it. I actually used to have a dog called Kixxie first. She took offence when she found out I used to have a long-haired Alsatian called Kixxie. She asked - 'Am I a dog then?’
