But, Redditors instantly realized that the initials spell out God.

One commented: “First thing I noticed haha. That’s not presumptuous at all.”

While another claimed that the name borders on blasphemy.

Some Redditors were left confused as they said Greenley is a surname, not a first name.

Ella also revealed that she has heard of a baby named Merriweather Green.

Redditors branded the moniker adorable and cute.

One said: “Merriweather and Ocean are pretty decent names. I want to name my daughter Oceana tbh.”

Merryweather is one of the characters in the Disney 1959 movie Sleeping Beauty.

Merryweather, Flora, and Fauna are collectively known as the Three Fairies.

In the film, the trio protected Princess Aurora from the villain Maleficent.

Meanwhile, another Redditor revealed their co-worker had named their child Strawberry Rain.

The name was mocked online as it was compared to a type of shampoo.

Social media users were left stunned as the revelation was shared online.

One said: “Surely you can't be serious."

'CAN'T BE SERIOUS'

Another replied: "God, I really hope, that one day, the kid googles her name and somehow stumbles upon this.

"You know, once she goes through all the candles, lotions, soaps, etc."

Parents Annie Herbert and her husband Josh were slammed for naming their daughter after a fart.

Their one-year-old daughter is known as Poot although her legal name is Poppy.

Meanwhile, a mom has been trolled for naming her baby Arrow.

Haters online have claimed the moniker sounds like a dog’s name.

A mom has also revealed how she accidentally gave her son what most people believe is a girl’s name.

And, a woman gave her baby a unique name that has been likened to a lice treatment

The mom-to-be revealed she had her heart set on the name Athena Nyx.

They claimed that Nyx isn’t an attractive name.
