For new parents looking to pick out a baby name, there are so many places to take inspiration from - including titles that might have their origins in different countries than the ones you and your partner are from.
But one mum on Mumsnet has been left fuming over her family's reaction to the name she chose for her son, particularly her brother-in-law, who refuses to acknowledge the moniker given to his nephew.
Posting her story anonymously, the mum revealed she named her son Brody - which has roots in both the US and Scotland - but her brother-in-law keeps calling him variations of Sam, after Uncle Sam, the character known as the national personification of the US.

The mum wrote: "My brother-in-law is being a total a***hole about the name we chose for our son, every time he says it he pulls a face and says it cringes him to say.
"When we first told him the name he refused to call him it and just called him Sam, which isn't remotely similar and in a few instances he has said things like 'Sammy boy' - and it's really hurtful, to be honest.
"He won't say his actual name without pulling a face and it just seems to be constant jokes and rudeness, calling him the American dream, etc.
"It's not an offensive name at all, it's Brody, and I don't think it warrants this strong a reaction. Yes, it is a little bit American, but it also has Scottish connections, although we are English.
"I'm just starting to get a complex about it now. I know not everyone will like a name, but [he's being] outwardly rude."
Commenters on the post were equally baffled by the man's comments, as many pointed out there's no reason for him to be so rude about his nephew's name - especially as the youngster isn't his child.
One person wrote: "He thinks you've chosen an awful name for your son. Tell him he's made his point and now is the time to shut up about it."
While another said: "Tell him in no uncertain terms that he is being a d**k and very disrespectful. If he can't use the name then he doesn't get to see your son."
And a third posted: "My grandma called my sibling a different name for several months because she didn’t like their chosen name. She got over it. Baffling that people think they can ignore your chosen name and make their own up."
