In a after On Mumsnet, the user revealed her seven favourite name combinations.
Her options included: Caledon and Tennyson, Emeric and Omri, Eben and Gable, Hart and Ivo, Penny and Roscoe, Inigo and Ozias, and Hale and Gray.
Mumsnet users shared their thoughts on the suggestions in the comments section.
“I’m sorry, but some of these people are just asking for the kid to be teased. Penny? Really?” someone asked.
“Penny for a boy? Sorry, but I don’t fancy most of those,” said another reader.
“It seems you can’t spell, Eben. Do you mean Eden?”
“I’m not a fan of either of them, why on earth would you name a boy Penny?” asked a third Mumsnet user.
“Please don’t use these names. You poor boys,” wrote another parent.
“Sorry, I’m not too keen on them. They sound overly imaginative, I suppose they make you feel unusual or creative, but unfortunately they don’t,” said one Mumsnet user.
“Unless there is a close connection to one of these factors, I would look for something with lower risk.”
“You can’t name a boy Penny,” said another commenter.
“Please don’t use Penny as a boy, that would be unfair to him and Gable could unfortunately also lead to teasing,” someone commented.
“Heart will probably also be called fart and I’m afraid Emeric sounds like a medical name to me, even though I know that name is used in other countries.”
“So many possibilities for a great combination of names, but none on your list. Sorry, I don’t like any of them,” another reader commented.
One Mumsnet user described the options as “a pretty crazy list”.

“Most of these are just exaggerated [and] “trying too hard,” another commenter noted.
“Penny is a girl’s name. Gable! Really? It’s part of a kind of roof!
