When choosing a baby name, there might be numerous reasons why you would go for a certain one.
Perhaps you want to name your little one after a loved one, or you could name them after a fictional character you've always liked.
One mum recently admitted she'd named her twin sons after her favourite band, Oasis.
And while she thought she'd picked the perfect monikers for her little boys, she's concerned that other people don't agree.
The parent recently took to Mumsnet to share her fears, saying that she believes people judge her for naming her sons Liam and Noel.
She wrote: "Judged for my kids' names?!
"I have always been a massive Oasis fan (sorry Blur fans) and they have influenced me and inspired me throughout my entire life.
"When I found out I was having two little twin boys, I thought it would be amazing to name them after the Gallagher brothers!
"I thought it was a sweet idea, but people seem to frown and laugh thinking it's a joke!!"
She added that it 'hurt' when people reacted this way.
More than 200 people replied to her post, sharing their thoughts on the situation.
One person said: "Liam and Noel are actually pretty nice mainstream names. It’s not like it’s a Ringo type name or whatever."
Someone else commented: "Well I know someone that named their twins Ronnie and Reggie soooo...."
Another posted: "Not a fan of either name. Can also understand that when naming two children at the same time within the same family it'll seem a bit strange/funny to some people. But then... names are a bit of a polarising thing anyway and it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks."
A different user added: "I'm not surprised they laugh really."
