'My cousin's baby sounds more like a stripper – they picked an unfortunate name'
A woman was slammed for giving her baby a name that makes her sound more like a 'stripper'. Her family intervened after hearing she'd named her daughter Sextina – to be pronounced Seh-Tina. However, the moniker was quickly mistaken for Sex-Tina by strangers. This sparked concern – with the new mum's cousin taking to Reddit for advice on the baby name . She said: "We're Latino, so I asked my mum if it was supposed to be said with an accent but no. Her parents were fully Americanized so they weren't even pronouncing it with an accent or had any sort of 'mistranslation' excuse. They were just trying to be yoo-nique and different. They thought Christina was too plain. "The entire family was against it and bullied the cr*p out of Sextina's mum until she finally changed it when the kid was about two-years-old. I don't know what the new name is but it was normal." The family started to nicknaming the child 'Sexy' simply to prove a point and push her into changing her daughter's name before she started school. And thankfully, this seems to have done the trick in convincing the parents to change it. The Redditor added: "Spoke to my mum and she clarified that they (the parents) were calling her Sexy, which the rest of the family/everyone they met hated to the point someone called CPS (child protection services.) "Mum's not sure if it was family or the paediatrician because apparently the doctors/nurses at her check-ups did not like that. "According to the parents they didn't mean it in a sexual way but as a cute nickname. Like Richard turns into Dick which turns into Dicky. But… .obviously that didn't work here. "Accusations were thrown around but luckily they weren't actually abusing their kid. They were just really, really dumb. So the mum changed the name to avoid the accusations." In the comments section, people were relieved that the family had changed the baby name. They worried the child would be 'haunted' by Sextina for years – so it seems to be a good decision all round. Why is the name Sextina trending? The name "Sextina" is quite unusual and not commonly found among traditional or modern baby names. It doesn't have a widely recognized origin or meaning in most naming traditions. However, the name gained some attention in recent years due to its use in popular culture. "Sextina Aquafina" is a fictional character from the animated TV show "BoJack Horseman" on Netflix . In the series, Sextina Aquafina is a satirical portrayal of a pop star and celebrity, depicted as a sentient pink dolphin. She's an over-the-top satire of modern-day celebrities and the music industry, known for releasing provocative songs with humorous and absurd lyrics. Because of this, the name Sextina is often associated with this satirical character rather than as a traditional baby name. The name 'Sextina' could arguably be a play on other names like "Christina" or traditional Latin-influenced names ending in '-tina.' However, the beginning "Sex-" intentionally draws a provocative and edgy vibe, fitting the exaggerated persona of Sextina Aquafina in the show.

Best was a super serious honour roll nursing student: Flirtasia. She went by Asia… Runner up K-Lee. But our system didn't process hyphens so her name on the card was Klee." A third user said: "Made me think about this woman who used to work where I work named Sexionna. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that." Another user said: "I remember meeting a woman named Sevena Cedaria. When she was born, her father got the news when he was standing by seven cedar trees. A sight like that is definitely worth recording in his daughter's history."
