A woman has been left gobsmacked after hearing what her sister-in-law wants to name her daughter, saying it'll make the child's life difficult. She explained how her brother and sister-in-law moved from Slovenia to America - and have decided to give their firstborn a name in honour of their lives in their home country.
Taking to Reddit, she said: "While here in Slovenia it wouldn't be an issue, the US is just a much different story. There were already pregnant at that point and just announced the baby's name." She shared how they want to name their daughter Tjašazojša, pronounced Ti-asha-zoy-sha. However, she says this isn't a common name in Slovenia either, as it is made up from combining two names.
She added: "They basically combined my mother's name (Tjaša) and her mother's name (Zoja) together and created the name. While the name in and of itself isn't bad, I'm just worried about her growing up in the US, especially with the accents in her name. I'm afraid they'll pronounce is how it's spelled and that she'll have to go through the rest of her life telling people how it's pronounced.".
Seeking advice, she admitted she "doesn't know if she should tell her sister-in-law that her baby name sucks". However, users couldn't help but compare the name to Renesmee, the child of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen in the Twilight series. The fictional couple combined Bella's mum's name, Renée, and Edward's adoptive mother's name, Esme, to create the unique moniker.
One user commented: "Oh no, Slovenian Renesmee!" Another user said: "Renesmee is the first thing that popped into my head. I can't believe people actually started using it as a name after Twilight came out." A third user added: "I'm from Croatia and think the name is a [tragic name] anywhere, with combining those two names (think Twilight's Renesmee). I would definitely gently suggest another name. Maybe Tasha, Zoe or something like that?".
