I’ve got such a stereotypical pet name & it makes my life hell – I’m fed up of cringe chat up lines, it’s so tiring

CHOOSING a baby name is one of the most difficult decisions for any parent to make.

After all, the child is going to be responding to it for the rest of their lives.

A woman has warned other parents not to give their children “stereotypical pet names” due to the constant unwanted comments she receives. Pictured, stock image[/caption]

But unfortunately for one woman named Angel, she’s not a fan of her own moniker – and even goes so far as to say it’s “a menace of a name.”

In a post shared to Reddit, she penned: “As a girl with this name it’s hell out here. The constant jokes, so many awful flirting attempts.

Just today a customer asked me if my name really was Angel and then proceeded to ask if I could be ‘his angel.'”

She went on to say how the relentless comments are boring and added: “I tend to be a very friendly person too so people looove telling me I “really am angel” and it just gets tiring.”

She concluded by giving other soon-to-be parents a stern warning.

“Don’t name your kids stereotypical pet names guys,” she advised.

The post has since been inundated with comments, with one social forum user noting how ‘Angel’ sounds like a “stripper name.”

“Start spelling it ‘Angle’ and mess with their heads,” one person quipped.

A second penned: “This is why I generally prefer non-word names. There are other similar names like Angela.

“People need to realise they are naming a person who will go through all ages, not only a little baby.”

A third commented: “Damn your parents literally gave you a stripper name.”

Elsewhere, others came up with alternative nicknames that Angel could use instead.

“I’d just use Angela…” advised one.

A second suggested: “Or Angie?”

Angel replied: “It’s definitely tempting!”

Elsewehre, another noted: “My daughter had a daycare worker named Angel and we just loved her.

“They called out ‘Angel’ at the restaurant where we were waiting to be seated yesterday, and my daughter’s eyes LIT up ‘There’s an Angel here??!?’

“So if you know any three year olds, I bet you’re real popular with that crowd!”
