Emma Hutton, a mother from Sheffield, England, went viral after expressing frustration over people mispronouncing her daughter's unconventional name, Elae, pronounced as ‘LA.’ Despite her belief that the name is straightforward, even her doctor mispronounced it. Many commenters on social media felt she should have chosen a more conventional spelling to avoid confusion, igniting a debate about the challenges of unique names and their potential for miscommunication. Hutton defended her choice, wanting to ensure her daughter has a distinctive identity against a backdrop of conventional names.
The British mom-of-two named her one-year-old daughter Elae - pronounced LA - because she didn't want her bub to be "boring."
The furious mother, who lives in Sheffield, England went on to explain she had just been to see her general practitioner who had incorrectly pronounced Elae's name.
She stated it is said in the same way as "the city of Los Angeles."
Social media weren't very understanding, instead arguing that Hutton should have chosen a more conventional spelling if she wanted to avoid confusion.
