Mumsnet user questions whether anyone else thinks baby name is 'stupid'

A Mumsnet user has questioned whether anyone thinks a baby's name is 'stupid' after hearing it.

The user, named ' heythere2022', started a thread about the name on Sunday.

They said they had met a family who had named their daughter 'Isla-Skye', which they said sounded like the Scottish Isle of Skye when said out loud.

The user wrote: "Am I the only one who thinks this baby name is stupid."

"So, I just met a family who named their daughter Isla-Skye", they added.

"Which literally sounds like Isle of Skye when you say it out loud.

"Am I the only one who thinks it's so odd to give that name to a baby? Or did it just catch me off guard?

"Also, they were in Florida but the Dad sounded English or Australian..."

The question was met with mixed opinions, with some liking the name and others calling it an 'odd choice'.

MrsGilly1 wrote: "Their baby their choice in my opinion. There may be names we don't like but each to their own."

Mermaidpool said: "Yes it does, odd choice if they have heard of the place not so much if they haven't."

MsTSwift wrote: "Daft."

JingsMahBucket said: "What’s wrong with being named after the Isle of Skye? It’s supposedly beautiful isn’t it?"
