A woman has shared how she reminds her cousin just how ‘stupid’ her daughter’s name is each and every time she sees her in an attempt to get her to reconsider the moniker
A woman has slammed her cousin for giving her daughter a name so ‘stupid’ it could stunt her in life. The mum explained how she welcomed her own daughter just months before her cousin’s due date – and decided to call her Sophia.
So, she was even more excited to hear the new arrival’s name, knowing she would be a part of her daughter’s life. She said: “[My] cousin name her daughter Mle. Yes, Mle. When she announced the name we all thought it was Emily which is a great name! Then she corrected us ‘No, it’s Em-Lee but spelled Mle’. Like. Girl. No. She has made more questionable parenting decisions since then.”
Baffled, she took her aside after hearing the name and shared her concerns about it – explaining the problems it could cause her child in the future. She added: “I ensure her mother knows how dumb the name is anytime I see her, which isn’t often thankfully.”

Commenting on her post, one user said: “My kid goes to school with M’ah. I called her Ma for about three weeks before my daughter said it’s Emma.” Another user added: “Oh God, how could it be worse for little Mle…? I’d be stopping myself from calling her Baby Shady regularly.”
A third user said: “I did not pronounce this as “em-lee” I pronounced it as “Mlee” like Glee but with an M. Anyone else?” One more user added: “There’s a Mean Girls parody by Todrick Hall and one of the girls has this name and it’s pronounced Emily. The gym teacher pronounced it wrong and she gets mad and goes ‘No it’s M L E!”
