Reddit user Nurse Kaila took to social media to share their disinterest in a newborn baby’s name.
They shared a screenshot of a Facebook birth announcement post that contained the name of the newborn to a popular Reddit group.
According to the site, the online group is meant to “poke fun at awful names and naming culture.”
To protect the privacy of both the mother and the baby, large emojis were placed over their faces in the Reddit post.
“A BABY IS BORN! Welcome to the world Revnalyn Gyda,” the caption over the original photo read.
At the bottom of the screenshot, a comment contained the phonetic spelling of the name: Rev-na-lyn Gee-duh.
The Reddit user simply posted it with a simple “whyyyyyy” written.
People could not help tossing out their two cents about the name in the comment section of the post.
“The best I can tell, both Revna (meaning “raven”) and Gyda (meaning “God’s”) are obscure feminine old Norse names. Why they had to slap a “lynn” on the end is beyond me,” one shared.
“The fact that they had to say how both names are pronounced,” a Reddit user commented.
“She really just threw down some Scrabble tiles and called it a day,” another voiced.
“That’s a clumsy mouthful,” a reader added.
