Fuming mum loved baby's 'romantic' name picked by partner until she found out meaning

A mum loved the 'unique' name her husband chose for their new baby daughter.

But she quickly changed her mind when she realised what it meant.

The parent initially thought the name Lansera, which her partner chose, was original and romantic, the Daily Star reports.

However, he wasn't thinking about romance and instead referenced one of his passions - Arsenal football team

The name Lanesra wasn't a girl's baby name - it was 'Arsenal' spelt backwards.

However it took mum Clare, from New South Wales, Australia, two whole years to discover what her mischievous hubby has been up to with the name.

She wrote in about what her husband had done to a magazine (Instagram)

The name fiasco was revealed in magazine Take Five, with the cutting soon going viral.

Other football fans were left giggling over the naughty antics of their fellow supporter.

It seems the woman's partner wasn't the only fan up to the mischief though.

A football-crazy wife originally from Spain also tricked her husband with the name, and said he had accepted the name unquestioningly, believing it was due to "her Spanish side".

Those who are looking for a 'trendy' international baby names may want to take a look at new research from NetVoucherCodes.co.uk.

The company says Finnish parents love the name Leo, Noah tops the list for Germans, Grace is trendy in Ireland and Julia is well-loved in Poland.

Meanwhile in the United States, Liam and Olivia are the most popular baby names, whist Australia loves the name Amelia.
