A concerned mom has taken to Mumsnet for advice, admitting that she wants to change her daughters name.
She has put the name oversight down to hormones and admitted it was her ex-partner who initially chose the name.
But 2 years on, she has shared that she wants to change her name as she’s “100 percent certain she is going to be picked on.”
After finding out the name, some moms have agreed that it’d be best if she changes her name.
But before we reveal the child’s surprising name, let’s take a look at some of the celebrity baby names that have made waves over the past few years…

Many believe that Kylie Jenner’s child has taken the prize for the most shocking name.
But it seems one mom might have stolen the top spot.
She revealed on Mumsnet that she asked her ex-partner if he agreed with her wanting to change their 2-year-old daughter’s name, but he dismissed her decision.
She wrote: “I’m coming to deeply regret DDs [darling daughter’s] name, which is sad as it’s a pretty name and really suits her.
“However, I’m 100 percent certain she is going to be picked on, bullied, and teased for being called this.”
She says she didn’t realize the poor name choice at the time, and that it was her partner who thought it up.
“There are longer names which could still be shortened to her name now, but would at least give DD the option not to be called what she is,” she continued.
“I’ve briefly mentioned to ex-DP [darling partner] my thoughts and he is firmly of the thought her name isn’t to be changed. I honestly think if I went to court (and I would consider this) and judge would allow a change for DDs sake.”
She then revealed the name and asked the other moms for help.
She said: “It’s a lovely name and it really does suit her, but recently I’ve had comments from kids and adults about it.”
The mom shared that her name was Alexa, like the Amazon smart speaker.
“Even my own bloody dad has bought an echo dot and thinks it’s hilarious when he talks to my Alexa and it answers.
“A friend’s primary-aged kid asked if that meant he could tell her to sing songs for him like his Alexa does.
“I just feel like I’ve set her up for a lifetime of being told to turn the light off, or play 80s music or tell a bad joke.”
Despite some Mumsnet users trying to comfort the mom, others have given her alternative names to use.
One user wrote: “I know an 11-year-old Alexa — just call her Lexi?”
Another commented: “Yeah, I would change it personally. Alexia/Alexis/Alexandra is close enough that she’s unlikely to get confused and she won’t remember if you do it ASAP.”
What do you think of the name?
