'People keep pronouncing my baby's name wrong - they think she is a boy'

There is no end to the different spellings and pronunciations of people's names, with some parents choosing to get creative and invent a new-sounding moniker for their children. This can often make names tricky to get right at first, and will often need a quick correction.

You would think that this means having a traditional name makes getting the pronunciation right fairly easy, but one Mumsnet user has claimed otherwise, with her two children's "classic" names often being butchered or garbled - even leading to her baby being mistaken for a boy.

The Mirror reports that the mum has claimed that the "classic" names she gave to her two daughters are always being mispronounced by strangers and she can't get over the different ways people say them.
