Mum wants to switch her 4-year-aged daughter's name because it's 'become too common'
Choosing a name intended for your new arrival could be a tricky task.
Do going for something vintage like James or Emily? A Disney-influenced moniker like Esmeralda? Or simply, settle on an extremely seasonal Eden and Isra after pinging all of your family members with a 'What do you consider?' message on Whatsapp.
One mum regrets her choice and controversially posted on a Mumsnet thread that her 4-year-old daughter's name is becoming 'too common'.
Uh oh.
The mum revealed how she chosen 'Esmée' for her child, a name she 'thought was extremely original as I hadn't heard another girl called it in about twenty years.'
However, fast ahead four years and the unnamed mum is usually considering changing it totally after discovering you will see two other ladies in her course with the same name.
"Totally hacked off and really upset by this," the girl wrote. "Probably an overreaction however in the 1970's I was among 5 called the same in my own class and vowed to never possess my live with the same. Now background is being repeated," she continued.
"Am We unreasonable to improve my name before September?" the mother wrote. "I really like her name but HATE it's so common right now."
This is met with a flurry of criticism from other users, like the very alarmed: 'are you for real???'
"She actually is 4 years not 4 weeks and you will be so extremely confused if you modification her name today!!" one fellow Mumsnet consumer wrote. "I don't believe it's your decision, certainly it's up to your girl, it's her name right now, not really yours," added another.
Another wrote, "Ridiculous. Don’t give your child a complex concerning this."
To legally transformation your child's name, you just want the consent of everybody who has parental responsibility. Looks like Esmée could be going to school in September with an completely different name...
