‘Why would you name a person that?’ people yell as mum shares her newborn’s very unique moniker
FINDING the perfect baby name is no easy task for parents – from making sure you aren’t coping others to picking one that fits their personality.
And while it can take time to find the best baby name, many are set on the name before they even find out their pregnant.
And it seems one couple have done just that as their bizarre baby name choice seems to have come from their lifestyle.
The name was quickly shared to social media when their baby boy arrived.
Capturing the special moment with a blue teddy they had put in the cot, the teddy held a name sign to announce their son’s moniker.
The name? Gnarly Maverick.
For us Brits, the word gnarly is usually used to describe something as old twisted and in bad condition.
So it’s not exactly inspiration most of us would take to name our child.
However, it seems the parents of this tot were surfers which gives a totally different meaning to the word.
‘Gnarly’ can be used to describe big and dangerous waves, something that excites them.
While it might have been a name that suited the parents, people weren’t so sure about their child.
The post went viral in the Facebook group, that name is a tragedeigh, with over 400 likes.
People were quick to take to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person wrote: “That’s my cat’s name lol, but why would you name a person that.”
Another commented: “My kids have unique names… but I wouldn’t do this.”
“I have no words for this one,” penned a third.
