A grandma has left people shaken after revealing the alleged name of her newborn baby granddaughter - with many stunned into a state of utter disbelief. Taking to Facebook, the proud granny shared a sweet picture of the little girl with her older brother, a boy with the much better-known name of Nicholas.
Sharing her joy at the new arrival, the thrilled nan told her followers that the child's name was Avacuddo, which appears to be a misspelling of avocado, the popular brunchtime treat.
In a post that has left many speechless, she declared: "It's official, my daughter gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Now their family is complete. Welcome baby Avacuddo (sic). Nicholas now has a baby sister."
The photo shared of Nicholas and Avacuddo gives the - also incorrect - spelling Avacado, creating more confusion among name nerds.
The divisive name announcement was swiftly shared to Reddit, where a number of users point blank refused to believe it was actually real.
One hopeful person commented: "I just really need this to be fake lol."
Another suggested: "Maybe her name is Ava and 'avacado' is a nickname? I hope."
Others however feared that the unique name was indeed all too real and expressed some concern for the little girl potentially getting bullied at school, or even earlier, as a result.
As remarked by a third worried individual: "I'm not even worried about school, Nicholas gonna make her life hell before any bully."
Although the majority of people were against calling a baby Avocado under any circumstances, the two misspellings only added to their horror.
A fourth person shuddered: "Trying to work out whether it's better or worse that they spelled it wrong."
A fifth noted: "No one in that family knows how to spell Avocado, it seems."
