Baby names can be a tricky - you don't want your kid to get teased at school, but you also might not want them to have a name that 'blends in' with the crowd.
One mother probably believes she went for the latter and decided to name her newborn daughter after an aromatic spice.
Mum-of-two Brooke Scheurn says that not everyone is massively keen on her daughter's name - but also that she doesn't give a flying fluff what people think, which is often a healthy attitude to have.

Posting on her TikTok page @brookescheurn, Brooke said she has the 'cutest baby' name ever and her post has been liked over 400 times.
The clip from 2022 shows an intimate photo of the mum alongside her partner in hospital holding their newborn.
"Wow we can't believe you named your baby after a spice..." reads the text overlay.
Then a clip of he beautiful baby comes on screen and the mother writes: "Us not caring because she is the cutest baby ever."
Finally in the caption, Brooke reveals her daughter's name - Clove.
She wrote: "Her name is Clove & she is adorable."
Viewers were really supportive, as one person commented: "This is perfect, and why would people be bother by that. This is your daughter and you decided on her name."
Another added: "She is so beautiful & her name is absolutely beautiful as well!!"
And a third viewer also revealed: "Me and my partner have picked the name Clove for our baby as she is our lucky tainowb."
It turns out Brooke isn't the only mum to name her kid after something you find on the spice rack, as another parent commented: "My daughters name is Saige."
"Awww love that," replied the TikToker.
Similarly, mum-of-two Chantel Schnider took to the platform last month to reveal to her followers what she decided to call one of her children.
In the video the mum can be seen slurping juice from a jar of pickles, as the caption reads: "I'm going to get hate for her name but we will call her... Pickle."
Some viewers defended the mum's choice of name, as one TikToker wrote: "My 24 year old daughter has always been our pickle!"
"YOU HAVE TO DO THE PICKLE TREND!!! (cute name btw)," another commented.
While others were not so keen, with one user writing: "Don’t be surprised when she comes back from school crying."
A second added: "Pickle… will you marry me?"
Each to their own, as they say.
