Finding a name that both you and your partner both like is hard enough, but now parents have the added stress of worrying about how unique and different their baby’s name is.
In the quest for choosing a special name for her baby girl, one Australian mom, known only by her last name Mavis, chose a name for her daughter that is so unique that strangers are now accusing Mavis of child abuse since she’s setting up her daughter for a childhood of bullying
While pregnant, Mavis kept coming back to the name Kaitlyn for her unborn daughter, but couldn’t get passed the fact that is was pretty normal and common name for girls. “I’ve always loved the name Kaitlyn but hated how popular it was,” the mother said.
“So when I found out I was having a girl, my husband suggested we replace the ‘ait’ with the Roman numeral symbol for eight! Now our daughter is truly unique,” Mavis wrote in a paragraph in a magazine.
Instead of just picking a different name, Mavis decided to name her daughter ‘KVIIIlyn’, which is pronounced ‘Kaitlyn’ but replaces the ‘ait’ with the roman number symbol for 8.
After one Reddit user spotted the entry in a magazine, he uploaded a snapshot of the magazine page and captioned his post, “Surely a form of child abuse?”
