Mother becomes mockery on the internet after disclosing 'cute' name she chose for her daughter

A mother ended up receiving a lot of criticism after disclosing the name she chose for her newborn daughter in a conversation on the Reddit forum, one of the busiest on the internet today.

According to the woman, who did not have her name released, when she found out that she was pregnant with a girl, she decided, along with her husband, to name the daughter Murphy Rae.

“As soon as my husband and I found out we were having a girl, we thought of the name Murphy Rae to name our baby girl,” she said.

However, she did not expect that, by disclosing her decision on Reddit, she would become a laughing stock and even offense. "I found several Reddit posts that were 'bashing' the name I chose," reported the mother.

The woman also said that, after the negative reaction, she thought better of it and decided not to name her child. "I was heartbroken because we love that name, but if the general consensus is that it's awful, I obviously don't want our daughter to deal with that her whole life," she said.

negative reactions

In fact, many users have thrown heavy criticism at the choice of the name Murphy Rae for a girl. “Murphy is my dog's name and when I call him in the park or on the street, at least five other Murphys come running up to me,” said one user.

Another commenter explained that her husband also wanted to name the couple's daughter, but she vetoed the idea. “My husband wanted to name our daughter Murphy, but I just hated it. After that, we adopted a dog and today he is named Murphy,” she said.

Some other users emphasized the fact that “Murphy” is a more used name for men. “I'll be honest, Murphy doesn't look very girly. For me, it conjures up an image of an old Irishman,” said one user in a good-natured tone.

“It's horrible. And when you add "Rae" to it, you have two male names coming together, which is just not what I would choose for a girl," said one woman who commented on the post.

Ultimately, it looks like the unnamed mother and her husband are going to give up naming their daughter Murphy Rae.
