Hitting it off with your new neighbours can make moving house loads easier.
But when one homeowner moved to a particularly posh neighbourhood it was the names of the kids that took her by surprise.
One family decided to give their kids some of the most unique names she'd ever heard, and you'd never guess how they're supposed to be pronounced.
Posting on Facebook, the homeowner explained after moving house in December she's had "the pleasure of meeting quite a few neighbours and their uniquely named children."
These kids include Ouili (Wally) and Wlm (William).
Apparently their mum wanted to name the twins Daniel and William but decided to go for the more unique options after her husband had an "inspiring" dream.

"I think she's just having regret and blaming the poor dude," she wrote.
"It's suspicious that the names came to her husband in a dream, I think she's just trying to keep up with the rest of the neighbourhood in naming their children special unique names," the homeowner mused.
It turns out other kids in he neighbourhood have pretty unusual names as well, including Meadoh, Heydeyn, Thunder Rayn, and Stormee Marie, Pauleighn and Amielynn.
"For context this neighbourhood is considered affluent," she noted, "so these mama's have a lot of time on their hands to make the most absurd names."

Fellow Facebook users were stunned by all the names, but especially the twin boys'.
One commented: "No. Just no to any of this. Thoughts and prayers that you can keep a straight face. Bless their little hearts."
A second quipped: "PSA unique spelling does not make a name unique it only makes it ridiculous."
Another confused user wrote: "Ouili doesn’t even make sense as Wally. Owlie. Willy. But how do those letters together make a “Wa” sound?"
The homeowner replied to one comment: "How much you want to bet when they turn 18 they both are going to change their names to the appropriate spelling?
"I think Walter and William are great names for twins. But Ouili and Wlm are just pushing the unique a lot too far."
