Woman slammed for wanting to name baby after mode of transport as people say he won’t ‘stand a chance’ when he’s older
A MUM-to-be has been slammed over her unique baby name choice, with people suggesting that the child will struggle with bullying when he is older.
Choosing a name for your baby can be an incredibly difficult task as you want to make sure you pick something unique, but not so out there that your child gets bullied.
Some people opt to name their child after a family member, whilst others choose to name their offspring after a favourite book or film character.
However, one mum has opted to name her son after a mode of transport.
Taking to Reddit, the mum-to-be’s concerned cousin revealed that she was desperate to talk her out of the unusual name.
She said: “I just got invited to the shower for my cousin’s baby, and she’s naming the baby…
“Trucklyn.
“No one is saying anything in the group chat about the fact that they’re going to name this baby Trucklyn.
“I think I have to go to the baby shower to try and get them to change it, or at least figure out why.”
The cousin added that she had tried to figure out if the name was a joke, but had so far been unsuccessful.
Reddit users flooded the comments section with their thoughts, with many critical of the unique moniker.
One person said: “It is your duty to try to convince them to change the name.
“Be like… ‘oh for her first Halloween she can be a Monstertruck!’, just to really let it settle in.”
A second person said: “Poor kid wont stand a chance.”
A third person said: “Is that part of the naming your kid after the place where it was conceived trend, but for poor people who can’t afford to go to Paris?”
A fourth joked: “So when she gets sick, does she go to the doctor or the mechanic?”
