‘Preparing her for bullying’, people cry as woman shares ‘two crazy names’ of niece

A WOMAN has revealed she had to “put her foot down” after her brother revealed the two tragic names he chose for his baby daughter.

She explained that the first name he had chosen – along the “lines of something like Tizzy” – was “not entirely offensive”, and that it also “grew” with his family and friends.

He then “nagged” for months about the child’s middle name, finally settling on “Ooh la la.”

“My brother and I had a rocky relationship at the time, but I had to put my foot down,” she continued in the post on Reddit.

“Tizzy was already a lot… don’t condemn this child to two crazy names!!

“At least give her one conventional name as a backup.”

Her “vehement resistance” was ultimately enough to convince her brother to choose a “very classic, universal middle name” for his daughter.

She added: “I need to clarify that my niece’s first name is not ‘Tizzy’ as I wanted to protect her identity.

“Her official first name is something similar, just as unique and sounds very much like a nickname.”

In the comments, people were equally shocked by the name choice, with one person writing: “’Ooh la la’ sets her up for a life of bullying.”

“Or a successful life if she becomes a stripper,” another commented.

“I thought Tizzy just sounded like a stripper’s name,” agreed a third.

“Ooh la la was just the icing on the cake.”

“Tizzy Ooh La La would be an AMAZING drag queen name,” someone else insisted.

“I had a friend who wanted to name her daughter Cinnamon,” wrote another.

“I just shouted, ‘Do you want her to be a stripper?’

“She was angry, but eventually named the baby after her grandmother.

“Tragedy averted!”

“It sounds like a breed name for a French bulldog,” someone else shouted angrily.

As someone else said, the name would work perfectly as a nickname, but not as an official designation.

“My kids have unusual animal names,” they wrote.

“(In my country many people call their children mouse or sparrow or hare, sometimes bear, frog, moth or pug. But my children have nicknames that no one would recognize as nicknames, if they read it).

“And we love it. Both kids love it and use it everywhere they don’t want to tell their real name.

“All my friends and family love it.

“But that wouldn’t actually be a good official name at all!”
