A mum has divided the internet following her revelation that she changed her baby's name just before their first birthday.
When I think about becoming a parent, choosing a name is pretty high up on my list of things I'd struggle with.
While we all have that trusty Notes app that contains names we may or might not use one day - many of us likely worry about making the wrong choice.

It happens - and probably quite easily too.
I mean, it even happened to beauty mogul and reality star Kylie Jenner, who first named her son Wolf before changing his name to Aire.
She admitted during her confessional on The Kardashians: "That night, I cried in the shower, I was like, 'That’s not his name. What did I just do? Wolf?! Someone just told me this 24 hours ago, I just named my son Wolf!'"

But it seems it's not just the rich and famous that wrestle with their naming choices.
Laurie Price, a mum-of-five who posts under the TikTok alias @thedodiemom, has opened up about her struggle to name her child who she was 'sure' was going to be a boy.
In an interview with People, she said: "When she was a girl, we were like, 'Oh, my goodness'."
If their baby had been a boy - the name would have been Noah, but the parents didn't think this fit their new daughter.

So they wrestled with some names before settling on Goldie Solveig, which is a 'Norwegian family name' inspired by the husband's grandmother, Solveig.
However, Goldie's first birthday is fast approaching (28 July), and the parents are scrambling to legally change her name - to Marigold Louise.
Laurie said: "The more I thought about it, I was like, 'On her driver's license, on all these certificates, on her diploma, on all these big life events, I want it to say this name.

"It just feels like I did her a disservice in deciding her name so quickly when [with] my other kids, I took my entire pregnancy to decide their name."
She has also posted a TikTok about the ordeal.
Explaining more, the mum said: "It just doesn't seem like her," before adding: "We want to do it before she's a year old as apparently if you do it after they're a year old, it gets a lot more complicated."

Laurie has since applied for a birth certificate correction which carries a $15 (£12) charge.
One person commented: "This is so ballsy I freaking love it."
Another said: "Is this going to be confusing to her? She’s been answering to one name so far - will she understand her name is been changed???"
Addressing the critics, Laurie told People: "If she's 18 and decides she wants to go back to Goldie Solveig - or if she wants to change it to Jennifer Love Hewitt - whatever. I will support her in what she wants to do."
