Mum admits she can’t really pronounce daughter’s name but has ‘zero regrets’

The mum admitted it's not a problem she thought she would have

A mum has realised she may not be able to pronounce her daughter's name, after people are confusing it for something different.

Baby names in 2024 can pretty much take the form of any word that's ever existed, and it can be a tricky decision to navigate.

But just two months after welcoming her baby girl into the world, one US mum, Justus Stroup, has been questioning whether she can actually pronounce her daughter's name.

The mum-of-two didn't think of any complications before introducing her to family and friends, but when the name was said out loud, people were confusing it for something totally different.

In an interview with People, she said that her husband got to name their son, so it was only right that she got the choice when it came to their baby girl.

She said: "Truthfully this was never a name on my list before finding out I was pregnant with a girl, but after finding out the gender, it was a name I mentioned and my husband fell in love with."

The couple named their daughter 'Sutton', but the pronunciation of the word has got their peers kind of confused.

In a TikTok video, she noted that people like to enunciate the Ts in the name, whereas she would prefer it to be slightly more subtle.

She explained: "I'm not gonna enunciate the Ts like that.

"It drives me absolutely nuts.

"I told a friend her name one time, and she goes, 'Oh, that's cute.'

"And then she repeated the name back to me and I was like, 'No, that is not what I said.' "

She recounted a moment with her son's speech therapist, where she mistook the baby's name for 'Sun' instead of 'Sutton'.

Despite the mix-up, Justus has still openly said she has no regrets at all about naming her daughter.

The mum said: "I still love the name.

"I honestly thought I was picking a strong, yet still unique name.

"I still find it to be a pretty name, and I love that it is gender neutral as those are the type of names I love for girls."

She could also relate to the feeling of people getting her name wrong, as she noted it has happened her entire life.

"When I noticed the same thing was happening with my daughter’s name, it was something I could relate to and wanted to share," she said.
