Baby's name leaves people unable to work out how to say it without sounding rude

A couple named their baby Pheart - leaving people wondering how to pronounce the child's name without being rude.

The mum shared a picture of her newborn baby online, with the unusual name attached.

It was spotted and reposted to a popular Reddit forum, with the caption: "'Little Baby Fart, such a mischief maker."

One user commented: "It reminds me of the silly names rich women apparently have if TV shows are to be believed - Frasier and Gilmore girls come to mind."

Another user shared their dislike and commented: "I genuinely cannot figure out how this came to pass."

Another Reddit account joked: "Total eclipse of the Pheart."

Someone suggested perhaps the name was the PR company who perhaps took the photo - proposing it could stand for 'Phe Art'.

One person said: "I've got a Peart in my family tree - is that what this atrocity is trying to be?

"Did they actually just forget that PH together makes a F sound? Lordy."

Another suggested: "Maybe its pronounced 'furt' or 'fay-art' or even like 'fair-t'."

One said: "I was thinking maybe Pheee-it. Like the car (Fiat)."

One user took a slightly more sympathetic stance - but still found it hilarious.

They said: "Omg I feel so bad cos I know this is a real little human who’s going to have to grow up with this name, but this post honestly made me howl, I’m in tears."
