The Reddit post even inspired other parents to share more names they didn't end up using. One mum said: "If our twins had been girls, one of them would have been Sadhbh. "It's an old Irish name that I've always loved and happens to be gaining popularity in recent years."

Parents 'worried for the kids' as people share list of potential baby names
A woman encouraged people to share a list of baby names that they didn't end up using, but loved, and some of them are more shocking and outlandish than you could ever imagine Many parents are becoming more outlandish with their baby name choices in the pursuit of a unique name for their little one. While understandable, it means that many babies are being given unique spellings of more 'traditional' names, and it's making things very complicated for everyone when they're corrected about their individual way to spell the moniker. One woman spotted some baby names "in the wild" on her social media, which parents almost chose for their little ones, and many of them proved controversial. Some were even likened to "medicine prescribed to cure some type of rash," which is less than ideal. Taking to Reddit, they wrote: "For our third baby, I really loved Brindley, but we ended up naming her Layklynn (Lake-Lynn). Who else had other names that they loved but ended up going with a different name?" Names mentioned in the comments included: Odysea Arwen, Ivyona Rain Galadriel, Evieauna Rain, Alicyn and Klovur. Many people were less than impressed with some of the choices in the thread, with one person fuming: "As an Allison, a name with many acceptable spellings, I'm offended by Alycin". Another added: "Brindley is too close to Brindle, which is a colour pattern in certain dogs ' fur." While a third exclaimed: "You have to be kidding. Alycin sounds like a medicine prescribed to cure some type of rash," with someone else adding: "Yeah, has an 'antifungal' ring to it". Rather than joking about the situation, though, some people were genuinely distressed about the potential impact it may have on the kids. One person fumed: "These people are so unaware of what they are doing to their kid. They will have their names mispronounced at every possible turn, misspelt, and will constantly have to spell it out. "You just gave your kid a massive lifelong headache." Somebody replied: "And a red flag on resumes". While someone else added: "Ngl Arwen does sound quite nice and is easily spelt enough to not make it weird when spelling. Ok so people who know LOTR (Lord of the Rings) will know their parents are nerds but blimey it's not as bad as some of them". Another social media user pointed out however that Arwen is an actual name "of Welsh origin" that can mean "muse, inspiration, or very beautiful," so it's a pretty name. Others shared names they wanted to use but didn't get the chance to. One mum revealed: "If our twins had been girls, one of them would have been Sadhbh. "It's an old Irish name that I've always loved and happens to be gaining popularity in recent years. My fiancé wasn't a fan of it, but had softened since we started trying for baby 3, which was going to be our last. "Anyway, the twins (identical, so no possibility of a boy/girl combo) are boys, so the name will go unused. Maybe we could use it for a pet in the future."
