AIBU- Someone has used my unusual baby name

[MmmmDonuts]

I wanted my baby to have a one of a kind unique name.
I made up a name that I love. It's definetly never been used before.
(I realise this sounds dodgy already)

Anyway, my baby is 7 months old and someone in my town has just given birth and used the name.
I actually feel really gutted about it.

I realise I am about to be flamed in the comments.
BUt how can I feel less gutted about this? Meh

Oh what an absolute idoit

OP please come back

I'm never sure if it's pronounced

Far-er
Or
Fa-rah

I don't think she's going to come back if people keep calling her an idoit.

She's asking for second name suggestions.
I've suggested:
Farrah Wai
Farrah N'Wide
Farrah Sykanthroyah

Farrah Thanthat
(You can't say it...)

Balaboosteh

And I don't think the OP is coming back either.

I don't think the OP is an idiot, but it's hard to imagine that no one in her life bothered to tell her she hadn't invented the name Farrah.

It's not too late to save the situation. Change your DD's name slightly? Even a letter would help.

Farrog
Forrrah
Farrap
Furrap
Frunk

lots of possibilities

but it's hard to imagine that no one in her life bothered to tell her she hadn't invented the name Farrah.

I'm never sure either Swingers. I always pronounce it to rhyme with Sarah but I don't think that's right.

It does rhyme with Sarah.

@toastandbutterandjam - my high school best friend (born '89!) is a Clarissa! Unusual but not at all odd in our school days. I've always loved it as a name.

OP's not coming back is she. She's been rumbled! Not such an unusual name after all...

I wouldn't pronounce it to rhyme with Sarah. I'd pronounce it to rhyme with Sara.

I wouldn't pronounce it to rhyme with Sarah or Sara!

I say Farrah like Mo Farrah - Fah-ra.

Farrah is a lovely name and I have never met one. Re Spike ... if any late 30's/ 40's watched Pressgang as kids one of the main characters was called Spike.

I always associated Farrah with peas, now I know why thanks MN! Now if only I could find out why I always associate the name Agnes with nutmeg...

Lady, here Sarah and Sara are pronounced the same. How do you pronounce them?

Whattodo, Farrah Fawcett pronounced it to rhyme with Sarah. Maybe as a surname it would be Fah-ra, but I think as a given name it sounds better rhyming with Sarah.

I pronounce them differently:
• Sarah - Sair-ah (Sair rhyming with Stair)
• Sar-a (Sar rhyming with Star)

Farrah rhyming with Sarah just sounds strange to me

I'm with Whattodo on the pronunciation

That's not it at all here. My daughter's name is Sarah. Whenever we say get name, people ask "with an H or without?"

Wait, so you pronounce Farrah like "far" to rhyme with star? How do you work that out? It's ignoring an entire syllable of the name.

Farrah rhyming with Sarah just sounds strange to me..
You've never heard anyone say Farrah Fawcett's name?

I know someone named Phryne, pronounced Free-nee. She prefers to be called Emma.
