'I staged a gender reveal photoshoot for my daughter - but spelt her name wrong'

For those of us with unique names, we know how easy it can be for people to slip up when it comes to working out exactly how our names are spelt.

But you don't expect your own parents to struggle with spelling the name they picked for you.

That's exactly what happened to one mum on TikTok though, who staged a whole photoshoot for her newborn baby to let everyone know that she'd welcomed a daughter - but managed to spell her name wrong.

Tina Brannan shared a video that included pictures from her gender reveal shoot - which took place just after her daughter was born - and said she spent so long setting everything up for the pictures that she was devastated when she realised the error, as it meant her photos were unusable.

The new mum, who posts on TikTok under the username @tinabrannan, used squares resembling Scrabble tiles to spell out her daughter's name above the tot's head, but instead of writing "Harlow" like she was supposed to, Tina spelt out "Harlo".

She explained in the clip: "Remembering the time I did a whole a** photoshoot afterbirth for the gender reveal and spelt her name wrong so couldn't post it."

Since sharing her mistake, Tina has asked in the comments if anyone is able to edit the photos for her, and several people have come forward to offer their services or advice.

One person said: "You could have used an edit app and used the eraser tool on the cubes near her head and just posted the cute picture."

While another offered: "I can see if my boyfriend can edit it if you want?"

"If you go on Facebook search 'edit my photo please' they will edit it how you want," a third suggested.

Little Harlow is now six months old, and Tina - who also has a son - has been documenting her life as a mum-of-two on her TikTok account.

In recent clips, Harlow has been struggling with teething, while Tina has had leg surgery for a break and is wearing a cast up to her knee.
