A WOMAN has revealed her shock after she suggested an awful name for her best friend's baby as a joke, and the friend actually gave the name to her child.

The woman said she feels terrible for her friend's son, who will now be lumbered with the joke name forever.

Taking to Reddit, the woman said: "When my best friend was pregnant with her son, she had a huge list of names.

"On the list was Oliver.

"She asked me which one I liked best.

"I told her Oliver, but I spelled it Aulliver as a joke (we were messaging).

"She laughed and the conversation moved on.

"A few months later, she gave birth and made a Facebook announcement.

"She'd named him Aulliver,

"I'm sorry my boy. I didn't think she'd do that!"

The post was flooded with responses from Reddit users, many of whom were shocked at the mum's choice of baby name.

One person said: "You’re not the culprit, your best friend is a low key villain

Another person joked: Damn, should have gone with Awwweliver.

A third remarked: "My daughters name is Daisy and when I was pregnant I jokingly told my coworkers I was going to spell it like Jay-Z.

"The amount of positive support I received was outstanding."

A fourth said: "This happened with my niece.

"Mum fouud the name Asia and suggested it to my step sister but also included the alternate spelling she found of Ayzha.

"Give you one guess which one was picked."

A fifth said: "You monster".
