And I bloody love the horrified reactions more than the delighted ones:
What???
Oh my god that's a mouthful isn't it?
Is that a name? Oh, I'd call him 'xxx'
It's not even that out there, I think people are just rude, but it cracks me up
AIBU?
We named our baby a marmite name

Just found a thread from 2013 where an OP asked this exact same question. A name that you either love or hate. That should have been obvious but it clearly went over my head haha.
<don’t mind me I’m just answering my own question>

I’m sure I’ll sound dumb but what even is a marmite name?

Good point.
Although if it is true, the name must be really bad since it's considered the height of social awkwardness to say anything other than 'what a lovely name!' after a baby is born in Britain.

@PineappleBrazilNutsandMaccasFries Really surprised to hear anyone gives a toss or would go out of their way to condemn a name that a child already has.
Is this a then everyone clapped moment??

Two of the most annoying threads on MN
"My kids name is controvertial but I couldn't possibly tell everyone their precious name"
"My husbands does his Hobby (outing)"

I also name my daughter a name that makes anyone over the age of 50 clutch their pearls and gasp in disgust.
it’s a beautiful name but has negative stigma attached too it unfortunately
