Another like the name ‘Scott’ for a baby boy, but admitted their surname is ‘Chegg’
CHOOSING your child’s name is an exciting but significant decision.
Some people are born with the ideal name, while others may find themselves worrying excessively about whether their child will enjoy it or even if it will fit them.
One mum, Jodie Hoyle, found herself in this exact predicament.
She believed she had picked a “really likeable” name for her daughter – until she realised how it sounded alongside her surname.
Jodie, who uses the TikTok handle jodiephoyle, posted a video of her experience that went viral.
She requested that other TikTok users contribute names they adored but were unable to use due to the way they matched their last names.
In her case, she had her heart set on calling her daughter Olive, only to realise it would sound far too much like “Olive Oil” when said together.
Her relatable story had many parents chiming in with their own naming dilemmas.
In fact, Jodie’s video gained 277.1k views after just four days of it being shared, as 1,159 people rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts and experiences.
One wrote: “My husband likes Skye. Our surname is Walker.”
A second added: “I knew of a girl called Peyton Paton, and yes her parents chose that.”
A third commented: “Scott but my surname is Chegg.”
However, some didn’t snap onto it so quickly with some asking for more information.
Then there was a response of “it sounds like scotch egg”.
Someone else added: “I know a girl called Krystal who was adopted by her step dad, his surname was Ball.”
Another said: “My favourite girl’s name is Etta. Our surname is Curry.”
And this TikToker wrote: “My dad asked why we didn’t use his middle name like we did for our kids’ middle names…. His name is Gordon, our surname is Bennett.”
A seventh laughed, while saying: “Jack, surname is Daniel’s.”
And someone else suggested: “It doesn’t matter what name they are given at birth… they can marry a new one like I did…….”
