One mum recently admitted she now regrets the name she gave to her baby boy, but her husband adores it.
She told Reddit that her son is called Dyver but she has now started disliking his unusual moniker.
The mum wrote: "I had my son two months ago and named him Dyver. My husband loves it.
"He and his family have always been diving enthusiasts and grew up with scuba gear all over his house, so he has a major soft spot for the name.
"I’ve always been on the fence about it, but I had no better ideas for naming him so I went along with Dyver," she explained.
The mum knows the moniker isn't popular but she is starting to let their opinions get the better of her.
"I'm aware many people don't like the name, and people have very adverse reactions when I tell them his name. When we picked it we never considered any sort of weird connotation but I see online that people associate it with “Dive Bar”.
"It's super weird to me that he'll be an adult named Dyver. I can't tell if I just don't like the name, or if people online hating on it is making me have second thoughts," she confessed.
"I’m really struggling. I get changing his name now means he will always have to fill out forms with his previous name," she added.
