Karissa Collins, 42, from the US, went viral on TikTok after sharing the names of her family.
In the clip, which has amassed over 10 million views, the mum stood with one of her youngest as they went through the whole family sharing their names,
There was: Anchor, Anthem, Anderson, Answer, Aniston, Anisa, Angelie, Angel, Andre, Arrow and Armor.
But after sharing the unique names people on TikTok weren't so sure what to make of them.
Many thought the kids would grow up to be bullied because of their names, whilst others praised the mum for going outside the box with her choices.
"They're going to get teased for those names later on, just cruel really," one person commented.
"What's happening here? I had to listen again just to make sure I heard it right," a second wrote.
"Bro just picked up a dictionary and started naming them in order," someone else joked.
"Anchovies was in the bathroom during filming," another joked.
Others shared some other name suggestions for the mum, poking fun at her seemingly random A-names.

"Armadillo, Alopecia, Avocado," one said.
Meanwhile, others suggested: "Ancestor, Ambulance, Alphabet, Acne, Algorithm."
Not everyone hates the names though, as one person said: "I love them, stunning children too."
"You have a beautiful family," another chimed in.
This isn't the first time the mum has faced backlash online though, as trolls roasted her when she revealed she'd been pregnant 15 times since the age of 25 and has barely had a break from baby bumps in nearly two decades.
One again posting on the account @TheCollinsKids, the mum stunned fans in May when she announced yet another pregnancy, calling it 'the best Mother's Day surprise.'
Karissa and her husband, who've been married for 18 years, welcomed their first child back in their mid-20s and haven't looked back since.
Karissa first became a mum at the age of 25, and has subsequently been pregnant when she was 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 39 and 40.
She's also suffered three miscarriages in between.
Now, with over 700,000 followers tuning in for a glimpse into her busy, bustling household, Karissa is unapologetic about her life choices and even encourages other women to take the leap into big family life.
She said: 'It's not that scary. I promise you will figure it out. And it honestly gets easier. You don't have to keep your hands to yourself! Have all the babies and live with no regrets.'
But while many cheer her on from the side-lines, Karissa also faces brutal backlash from trolls who claim her lifestyle is harmful, not just to her, but to her kids.
One commenter raged: 'This is not okay – you barely have enough time for each child to get your attention. It's not even funny anymore, I feel bad for the kids.'
Another slammed: 'You're hurting your kids by continuing to take attention away from them. No human can give the same amount of love to 12 different kids unless they never sleep.'
Others accused the couple of only having children for content, saying the older kids must be doing the bulk of the work around the house.
Still, Karissa isn't fazed. For her, motherhood isn't just a lifestyle, it's a calling.

Bob Bubka dead age 83: Legendary reporter and ‘Voice of Golf' who covered Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods passes away
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE legendary 'Voice of Golf' Bob Bubka has died aged 83. American Bubka started working in radio in 1964 covering high school football. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Legendary golf broadcaster Bob Bubka has passed away aged 83 Credit: Getty 3 Bubka earned the respect of golf's greats including Tiger Woods Credit: Getty 3 He was known as the 'Voice of Golf' on talkSPORT Credit: Getty He then began covering golf in the 1980s and worked for NBC Sports and the PGA Tour in America - including his 'Outside the Ropes' show. Then in 2000, Bubka landed a job with talkSPORT, bringing his iconic New York tones to the UK sport radio station. And his standing in golf saw him respected and revered by all. That included two of the greatest golfers of all time - Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. Nicklaus was made an honourary citizen of St Andrews in 2022 and personally invited his dear friend Bubka to be there. And even the notoriously private Woods went out of his way to greet Bubka at The Open that year, seeking him out after a press conference after the iconic broadcaster travelled to the event despite poor health. Rubert Bell of talkSPORT paid an emotional tribute to his great friend and colleague. Bell said: 'Radio is about voice. There is no doubt when you heard Bob Bubka speak, it just grabbed you. 'Unmistakable, iconic, coupled with a wonderful, unique style. For over 25 years, his distinctive American tones enthralled and entertained talkSPORT listeners. 'His love for the game of golf shone through, coupled with a cheeky, almost rebellious element which made him not only a delight to listen to - but in my case - to work with. Baffled Rory McIlroy hits TWO balls with ONE shot in incredible never-seen-before incident at The Open 'Bob was unashamedly biased when it came to Tiger Woods - in awe of his achievements - particularly as he had been brought up in the Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer era. It was a testament to Bob that Tiger always seemed to reach out and say hello. 'In later years, Bob's health made it difficult to travel and his last Open in situ was at St Andrews in 2022. 'He loved being there - and the relish in which he drove his motorised wheelchair around the city was fantastic. 'But what he also loved was the interaction with talkSPORT listeners - and I know in the end, being part of the talkSPORT family was so important to him as he struggled with ill health. 'Even when physically frail, that voice never faltered. Covering the majors will never be the same without that delicious voice drawing us into the magnificent sport of golf.' Others in the golfing world took to social media to post their messages and memories. Mike Parry said: "I'm really saddened to hear of the death of my great pal and legendary golf commentator Bob Bubka. "He was THE best with an incomparably silky voice and unparalleled knowledge of the game. I worked six Opens with him. Joyous professional days... RIP Big Man." Jonathan Norman added: "After marvelling at his voice and broadcasting style for a decade, it was one of my career highs to work with Bob at the 2014 Ryder Cup. "He will be missed greatly. Thoughts with Janice and all Bob's family and friends. RIP." Another wrote: "RIP Bob Bubka….. the voice of golf." And a final user wrote: "Ahhh such sad news. RIP Bob Bubka, the voice of golf. Could listen to him all day."

Desperate for a girl, Monique Tibbott was instead reduced to tears at the gender reveal of their soon to be born baby when the colour blue appeared inside of the cake. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Monique Tibbott was reduced to tears at her gender reveal party Credit: Caters 3 She says that when she saw blue in the gender reveal cake her heart sank Credit: Getty Monique was adamant she was having a second girl throughout her pregnancy. The 21-year-old from Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia, explained: 'All I know is pink. All I know is being a girl mom – I have never experienced raising a boy and it's just terrifying to me. 'I feel so guilty and like the worst mom in the world because when I saw the baby's gender in that cake, my heart sank. 'I'm going to feel guilty for the rest of my life for how I reacted; I'm never going to forget how I thought when I first found out about him.' Read More on Parenting OH BABY I love to dress my boujee baby up in fancy outfits but trolls say it's neglect Throughout her pregnancy, the stay-at-home mum had been convinced she was expecting a second girl; and after already having her daughter, Delilah, it was something she thought she'd be better equipped for. However, that dream soon diminished for Monique during the gender reveal, alongside her husband Brandon; when after uncovering the gender, her reaction failed to live up to expectation. Monique told how she then spent the next few days in tears while trying to process the news. With her reaction failing to live up to the hype and expectation of what gender reveals typically do, she is conscious she tarnished the special day with her emotion. Becoming a parent to a boy is a reality that scares Monica as she stared down a barrel in fear on how to bring her son up. Having had the experience in how to raise her daughter, Monique fears bringing a boy up will be a completely different scenario.

Speaking more about her reaction to the news of her expecting a boy, Monique told: 'I feel angry at myself for how I reacted because I should have just been grateful and happy that he's healthy and that I have the fertility ability to carry a baby.

British man orders McDonald's in Benidorm and cost of two meals leaves him floored
A man was left gobsmacked when he purchased two meals from McDonald's in Benidorm, wondering why it was that price. He also complimented the view from the restaurant No matter where in Europe you go, chances are, you won't be too far away from a McDonald's. It's cheap, cheerful, and if you're a fussy eater in need of some home comforts while you're away, it's the perfect place to nip with pals. But when one Brit in Benidorm ordered two meals from the Spanish Maccies, he was left floored at how much it cost him. "Could this be the nicest McDonald's in the whole entire world?" Harry, who posts on TikTok as @harrytokky, asked his followers. He showed the view from the Maccies, saying: "You're not gonna get better than this." Unlike your typical Maccies outlets, this one looks out onto the sea. But he then joked "who cares about the view," saying that he was going to go inside because he was "desperate for a Happy Meal". Sitting outside, he said: "And just like that, the food has arrived. Now you will not believe how cheap this was. We've got two meals here. Guess how much this costs? €11 (£9.53)". Harry continued, explaining that there are two fries, two burgers, two drinks, and some chicken nuggets on the side as well. He gushed: "I mean, €11? What do you think guys? I think that's an absolute bargain, let's be honest. €11? In the UK, that'd probably be at least £20." In the UK, a large Big Mac meal costs around £7.69, depending on location. Meanwhile, six chicken nuggets cost around £3.49, depending on location. So Harry is right, it is significantly cheaper in Benidorm. The whole meal would cost roughly £18.87, which is 98% more expensive! While some people in the comments section moaned that Benidorm McDonald's has "slow" service, others said the wait was well worth it. One said they'd had the "best Big Mac" ever at the Benidorm Maccies, while another gushed it was the "best view" you'll get under the Golden Arches. However, the taste may differ. One visitor remarked: "Their chicken nuggets are definitely different from English ones". People have also taken to TripAdvisor to share their experiences of Benidorm's McDonald's. One said it was a "fantastic" place to get "cheap food on vacation" while in Spain. Meanwhile, another reviewer wrote: "Visited this McDonald's as we wanted something like home while on holidays, and it was a great experience. I got the McCrispy Burger meal, and we got the bacon & cheese wedges for sharing, and it was all so delicious! "It came out slightly colder than we would have liked, but we still ate it. The restaurant was clean and the staff were lovely! "We used the machines as you entered to order our food, and they provided all languages. McFlurry was great as well. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family".
