Although we all know how important it is to be supportive of friends when they announce their baby name choices, sometimes you might feel as though you want to step in and intervene This is especially true if the name holds certain connotations the excited parents -to-be may not have even considered.
One woman says she was left 'flabbergasted' after learning how her friend wanted her baby son's name to be pronounced, and felt she had no choice but to speak up. The child's name is 'Aurelius' - inspired by Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius - and she initially thought it was a 'cool' choice. However, this was before she realised her pal pronounced it in a way that sounds very much like 'areolas'. The friend says it took all of her "willpower to not ask her why she’s naming her kid 'nipples'".
