People hate that I gave my daughter a man’s name & say she’ll get bullied but I don’t care, I think it’s beautiful
CHOOSING a name for your baby is hard.
You don’t want something so generic that there’s five people with the same name in their class, but you also don’t want something that’s so unique your child risks getting bullied.
One mum has chosen a very unusual name for her daughter and has said that she doesn’t care what trolls think.
Young mum Victoria shared her child’s unique name via a video posted to her TikTok channel @toriyav.
The video is a response to a comment from a TikTok user which reads: “Your kid will get bullied because of some stupid name that you liked and the kid didn’t”.
Replying to this comment, Victoria said: “People seem to hate that I named my baby girl Robert.
“I don’t think she will get bullied. I think it’s beautiful.”
The name Robert is traditionally a man’s name, with the female version Roberta usually given to females.
However, traditionally male names such as Sam, Alex and Jordan have become more gender neutral in recent years, so perhaps Robert could be the next name to follow this trend.
TikTok users raced to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts on the controversial baby name, with some concerned for the child’s welfare.
One user said: “She will get bullied. Kids aren’t always nice, there are going to be people who bully her. Not saying you named her wrong, just saying…”
Another user added: “It’s a boys name, she will most likely be bullied. I was bullied for my name too and I hate it but it’s up to you what you call your child”.
However, some users were supportive of Victoria’s choice of baby name.
One user said: “Robby would be a cute nickname her friends could give her”.
Another added: “Will she go by Bobby? We have a friend who goes by that and never gets bullied”.
