Choosing a baby name is always tricky, you need to pick something that they can live with for the rest of their lives.

Baby name expert Sherri Suzanne spoke to the Daily Star about the dangers of ‘unusual’ names.

“I caution parents that in an effort to make children stand out, they can also make it harder to fit in. Resist picking names that form jokes, puns, rhymes, or phrases that have strong negative associations.”

“In an attempt to express individuality, it’s best not to create obscure and convoluted spellings."
