‘Time to let dad decide,’ people say as mum goes viral for the ’dog names’ she gave her children
A WOMAN has come under fire for the unique names she has picked for her children.
The family went viral online after sharing their kids’ monikers, with people saying they sounded like dog names.
In her viral video, TikTok user Aubree Jones (@whataboutaub) revealed the names of her six children.
She explained that she decided what to call their five daughters and infant son.
Aubree said people often ask both her and her husband: “Who picked your kid’s names?”
She acknowledged that most people regard her picks as “weird.”
“If you think their names are weird now, you should see what was vetoed,” she joked in the clip’s caption.
Each of her children appeared in the video, introducing themselves to viewers.
The couple’s oldest daughter is called Trendy, followed by Zaylee, Sunny, Truly, and Journey.
Their infant son was revealed to be called Rocky, another pick by Aubree.
TikTok users shared their thoughts on the unique monikers in the comments section.
“I think it’s time to let dad decide,” joked one viewer.
“If you have another kid, please let Dad name them,” agreed another follower.
“Mum picked dog names,” commented a third person.
“Dogs have human names nowadays and kids have just random words as names,” said another TikTok user.
“Thank you for the dog name ideas,” joked one commenter.
“Mum didn’t pick names, she picked words,” wrote another viewer.
Are Unique Baby Names Worth The Hassle?
YOU may think having a unique name helps you to stand out, but is it all it's cracked up to be?
Fabulous’ Deputy Editor Josie Griffiths reveals the turmoil she faced with her own name while growing up.
When I was a child, all I wanted was one of those personalised keyrings with my name on it.
But no joy, the closest I could find was Rosie, Joseph (not great for a little girl) and Joanne.
Josie is short for Josephine, which is a French name, and I managed to reach my 20s without ever meeting anyone who shared it.
When I try to introduce myself to people, I get all sorts of random things – like Tracey and Stacey – which can be pretty annoying.
Although I have come into contact with a couple of Josies over the last year – there seems to be a few of us around my age – it’s still a much rarer name than most of my friends have.
On the whole I don’t mind it, at least it’s not rude or crazily spelt.
And it means I can get away with ‘doing a Cheryl’ and just referring to myself as Josie.
I’m getting married this year and some friends are shocked that I’m changing my surname, as it’s not seen as very cool or feminist to do so these days, but I explain to them that I’m not that attached to Griffiths as I’d always just say ‘hi it’s Josie’ when ringing a mate up.
I think it’s nice to be unique and I’ll definitely try and replicate this when naming my own kids.
It’s the rude names you’ve got to watch out for, so after nine years as a lifestyle journalist I’ll definitely be avoiding those.
“Truly, this was a Rocky Journey,” joked one follower.
“Imagine them being older and having to say their names for job interviews,” wrote another person.
“Is [the] mum’s name ‘Random Words Generator?'” asked one TikTok user.
“My son’s name is Rocky too! (He’s a German Shepherd),” said another viewer.
“Trendy is so bad I am shook. Tops my most hated,” commented one person.
