There is an article running today in the Daily Fail about a girl named Abcde - apparently it’s pronounced ‘ab-city’. Having worked with hundreds of children in my career, it’s not often I come across a name that is completely unique to me. So Mumsnetters, do any of you know an Abcde?

I saw it and couldn’t believe it; she’s a gorgeous little girl too and looks as if she’s should have a ‘pretty’ name like Evie, Maisie or Emily (well, any name really other than ABCDE...).

That's ridiculous 🙈

I remember when the Teletubbies came out years ago and it was in the paper that some woman had called her baby LaLa 🙈😂 I think abcde might be worse lol

I am wondering what the child having epilepsy has anything to do with the story. Confused

It's a ridiculous name - worst I've ever heard. Not surprised the airline staff member found it hilarious - hope they're not disciplined too harshly!

What was she thinking? Well, she wasn’t thinking about names for 9 months. Poor fucking kid, saddled with a shit name. I would’ve taken the piss too. She could have gone overboard and named her XYZ 🙄

I agree Fairylea. I doubt it will become popular.

I read that article and I know this is going to sound horrible but seriously what was she thinking?! Awful, awful name. Poor child!
