'My family hate my 'hipster' baby's name - but I want it to be different'

While some parents spend the full nine months brainstorming baby names, others know exactly what they're going to name their child before they're even conceived. However, one woman has been left questioning her "shortlist of names" after her family shared their dislike for every single one of them on her list.

The woman, who is named after a US state, explained how she wants to continue this "theme" with her own children, naming them all after various states in her home country. She said: "Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to keep with that theme. So if we have a baby girl, her name will be one of several states I have chosen. I used to be excited to tell people - I thought I was super clever. But now I've become apprehensive to tell anybody."
