I picked the perfect name for my daughter but my best friend said it was ‘ridiculous’ to give her a ‘plain boy’s’ name
A MUM has revealed how her friend ridiculed her over the choice of her baby's name.
The mum posted anonymously to , where hundreds of people got involved in the conversation.
In the post, the mum said that she and her other half had agreed on a name for their daughter they are expecting.
The mum said they both love the name but that when she sat down with her best friend to reveal the exciting news, she didn't get the reaction she thought she would.
Her friend turned round and said it was ridiculous for the mum to pick a 'plain boy's' name' for a girl.
Despite her friends reaction, the mum said her and her partner were not changing their minds and were very set on using the name for their baby daughter.
The mum added: "I just hope if people don’t like the name and are rude about it when she’s here, it will grow on them the more they think about it. Should I be worried?"
Lot's of people asked the mum what the name was they had chosen, the mum later revealed the name chosen was Brynn, (pronounced Brin).

The mum said: "The name is a name that can be used for both genders, but comes across as more of a girl's name (in my opinion), and I always thought it was a girl’s name.
"It’s pretty unusual, and a soft name, but it’s not anything super masculine."
Some people said that this situation is why parents should never reveal the babies name before the baby is born.
One wrote: "This is why you never reveal the name before the birth. Who cares what she thinks? She would no way have said that once your baby had arrived."
Whilst some people did find the name Brynn a little 'out there', the majority of people agreed that the mum's friend was wrong to comment on the name.
One user wrote: "It's really rude but I suppose it depends how 'whacky' it would be for a girl?"
"Brynn is lovely and I see it as a girl's name." The user added: "Your friend is mean."
A third user replied: "The name is fine. A perfectly sensible name for a baby girl. Your friend was unkind to share her opinion. Ignore her."
