Talking about unusual baby names, one woman was recently booted out of a baby shower after she burst out laughing when she found out the name her sister was set to give her little girl.
In a post on Reddit, the woman claimed: “I have a younger sister Ella. She got married to Sam last year in a small socially distanced wedding.
“We knew they’d want kids right away, and last Sunday was the baby shower. I knew she’d announce the gender and name at it, but Sam’s mother arranged it so it was a surprise,” she continued.
The woman went on to recall what exactly happened…
“[During the gender reveal] pink comes out and we all cheer. Ella goes, ‘okay name reveal’ and that’s when she pulls out a baby onesie,” she said.
But before we reveal the name, people took to the comment section and proposed that the child may be bullied in school due to the name.
“All I could think of is that poor kid in biology class in the future. We used to get teased if a character from an English lesson or an example sentence for grammar had our name in it. The kid is named after a disease!” one user said.
“Surely a wind-up? If not, no child’s name should sound like bad chicken curry, while another said.
“You are doing them a service. Now they’ll hopefully be embarrassed out of using that awful name,” a third wrote.
The woman actually revealed there were mixed reactions to that particular name, with some even agreeing with her comparing the name to a particular organism.
“Sam’s mum freaks out about how it’s a beautiful name, Ella is screaming that I’ve ruined everything and the name was meant to signify the coming together of them. My own mother hissing that I should have kept my mouth shut, how the kid would probably go by Sammy,” she added.
The woman even went ahead and left the party, but according to The Mirror, the mood was different afterward…
“Family seems mixed on it, with a fair few agreeing Samnella does sound like salmonella, and caught off guard they’d have giggled too, but also a lot of ‘well, it’s her baby if she likes the name,'” she said.
But eventually admitted she should have kept quiet about it.
“I do think I shouldn’t have laughed, but also, how have multiple people heard Samnella and just thought ‘yeah sounds cute’? My sister says everyone else loves and compliments the name, I think they’re just being nice,” she continued.
Yikes, Samnella sure does sound like salmonella.
What do you think of the name?
