Baby names can often attract a lot of opinion, and one woman has taken to Reddit to ask for advice after revealing her sister's rather unique baby name.
Explaining she doesn't often see her sister because 'she moved to LA to become an influencer' the woman explained she's 'mortified' by the name she's chosen for her baby daughter.
Explaining the backstory, the Redditor wrote: "My sister has never been close to my family because she moved to LA to become an influencer, and is trying to live the LA influencer life style.

"I don’t care about how she moved away, it's just that we don’t see her as much, and have grown apart, especially since she is so much older than me."
The woman explained that her sister recently had the baby and had no idea what name to choose, but she had mentioned she liked traditional names such as 'Elizabeth, Ashley, Ella and Anna'.
"My mom was very happy with those names, as she ALWAYS talks bad about parents who give their babies weird unique names. I was suspicious though, because there was no way that’s actually what my sister was considering for names," she continued.
"Well I saw my sister post on Instagram her babies name announcement, and I was mortified."

The woman revealed that her niece's name is Kynzlynleigha.
"I nearly stopped breathing it was the biggest mouthful of a name I have ever seen. My parents were astonished, and disappointed," she wrote.
"We called her and told her how the baby will always get picked on, and she just hung up. I know it is her and her husband’s baby, but the name is atrocious."
And other Redditors had some strong views on the name, with many agreeing that they would also be concerned.

"It is a terrible name. Imagine that kid learning to write it? Good luck for her," one wrote.
While another said: "That is a horrible name and if you can prevent that from happening your future niece will thank you one day unless she comes up with something even worse.
"Yeah, truly awful name. What a burden for the kid. No respect for that."
Others suggested the child could use nicknames, with one adding: "I've worked in enough kindergarten classrooms to know that poor little kynzlywhatcha is going to spend a lot of tears learning to spell her name and will probably pick a nickname pretty fast."

"Considering it's made up of fifteen other names smashed together... yes, definitely!" another responded.
Yikes. What do you think?
