A woman took a sneaky screenshot of a mum-to-be who was looking at baby names for her little ones and has received a brutal response from others. Many parents want to name their child something unique and memorable, but some were concerned that these names were memorable for all the wrong reasons, questioning why you'd even consider them.
Someone posted the list to Reddit, saying, "I can't," sharing what the woman had shared she was considering as names for her twins. The original poster, who had shared the list onto 'Baby Names Discussion' on Facebook, wrote: "I am having twins, a boy and a girl, and I wanna find names for them".
The mum-to-be had said "no hate please" at the end of the post when she explained: "I think I wanna give my kids the same name (add an A for the girl) but with different spelling".
The list was as follows:
- Thaliam
- Fanlia
- Evalater
- Rainleigh
- Aimeigh Leigh (Amy Lee)
- Brexet (pronounced Bridget)
- Brudjet
- Manughelle (Manuel)
- Pimpley
- Thalium
- Prairie
- Dudeson
- Parsley
- Bona Petite (my husband is a chef)
- Glutane
- Kane
In the comments, people were less than impressed. The majority of commenters seemed annoyed at the spelling of the names.

A responder was baffled at how 'Brexet' sounded similar to Brexit, and they were wondering how it could possibly be pronounced 'Bridget'. A Redditor laughed: "My beautiful baby girl Brexit."
Meanwhile, another sarcastically wrote: "It's a nice name, but I prefer 'European Unien' (pronounced Joshua)". Meanwhile, a third said: "How can you take a simple three-letter name, Amy, and make it a seven-letter monstrosity?"
And a third said: "This reminds me of Big Brother contestant Rachael. She named her baby Adora Borealous." This moniker makes reference to the Northern Lights, also known as aurora borealis.
While it was all a bit of fun for people in the forum, a commenter pointed out that life can be difficult for children who have quirky names. Standing out from the crowd isn't always a positive experience.
They said: "Not only will they have the 'joy' of correcting everyone on the pronunciation, the kids will be constantly confused over which one of them is being called/spoken to.
"The 'no hate' request also indicates that they are aware of their own stupidity and don't want to be called out on it. Taste and sense have both eluded them".
Most popular baby names
If you're looking for more baby name inspiration, don't go anywhere. We've rounded up some of the most popular names around at the moment.
Back in December, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) released its annual figures for the most popular baby names in England and Wales. The data always reflects the year just gone, so the list makes up the top 100 names for boys and girls from 2023.
Muhammad overtook Noah as the top name for baby boys, with Noah dropping to second place after coming in first in 2021 and 2022, followed by Oliver. Muhammad was the second most popular name last year and has been in the top 10 since 2016. Back in 2012, it ranked only 20th so it's climbed up the list significantly over the past decade.

Meanwhile, there have been no changes to the top three names for baby girls, with Olivia, Amelia and Isla, coming up top. Unsurprisingly, Olivia has stolen the crown as the most popular baby girl's name for the eighth year in a row. You can check out the full top 100 list here.
