Mom Names Her Baby After Her Favorite Band And People Won’t Stop Mocking Her
A mom is being mocked online for naming her baby after her favorite band.
Selecting a name for a baby can be a deeply personal decision, influenced by a variety of factors.
Some parents choose names to honor deceased loved ones, while others take inspiration from famous figures or fictional characters they admire.
One mother recently shared her experience of naming her twin boys after her favorite band.
Initially, she believed she had made a wonderful choice, but she has since started to doubt herself.
Concerned about potential judgment from others, she turned to Mumsnet for advice, explaining that she feels people are criticizing her decision to name her sons.
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!!”
According to her post, the reactions from others have left her feeling ‘hurt.’
The Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, were central figures in Oasis, one of the most influential bands of the 1990s.
While the mother found the Oasis baby names meaningful, the response from others has been mixed.
Her post prompted more than 200 responses from other users who shared their opinions on the matter.
Some reassured her that the names were fairly common and nothing out of the ordinary.
One person commented: “Liam and Noel are actually pretty nice mainstream names. It’s not like it’s a Ringo-type name or whatever.”
Another respondent shared a different perspective, mentioning: “Well I know someone that named their twins Ronnie and Reggie soooo….”
Not everyone was as supportive.
One user admitted: “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 polarizing thing anyway and it doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks.”
Another simply added: “I’m not surprised they laugh really.”
