A mum has been slammed for giving her child the name “Abcde”.
Users of discussion forum website Mumsnet criticised the woman and blasted the choice of name for the five-year-old as “a form of neglect”.
It came to light when one of the site’s members posted a story from a US news website which reported the Texan mother had accused an airport employee of mocking her daughter’s name.
She claimed they had posted a picture of the child’s boarding pass showing the unusual name on social media in a bid to humiliate her.
But Mumsnet users were more outraged that the mum had called her kid “Abcde” in the first place.
One posted: “Am I being unreasonable to think if you call your child such a ridiculous name they will get mocked at some point?
“The child in question is called Abcde, pronounced ab-city.
“While it was very unkind to do it so the child can hear, I think it is the most ridiculous name I have ever seen.”
Another wrote: “Ridiculous. I would go as far as to say it’s a form of neglect for that child’s wellbeing.”
