I regret what I called my daughter when I was 17 – I should have gone with my dream name but I was overruled | The Sun

SHE'S a mother of four children – three of whom have "really cool" names.

But her eldest daughter has more of a traditional name, as the moniker she chose for her when she was 17 and pregnant was overruled by other family members.

Flic Parker took to TikTok to respond to the video asking "Parents, do you ever regret what you named your kid?"

"Right, so I’ve got four children," she said.

"My youngest is called Winnie, then I’ve got Queenie and I’ve got Rudie.

"So they’re all really cool, old-fashioned, cool names.

She added that it was friends and family who persuaded her to give her daughter a "classy" name.

"Because I was 17 years old, I had to go along with the majority of normal, sensible people who thought, ‘You know, you’re 17 years old, She has to have a normal, classy name'," she said.

"Yeah, so she got called Alicia but I wanted to call her Barbie."

Flic added that even Alicia now wishes her mum had gone with her initial name plan, because it would have "fitted in with everyone else".

Other parents took to the comments section to admit they had similar issues when they chose a unique name but were overruled.  

"I get that, I nearly called my oldest Deniz, but she ended up with Sofia, she is so annoyed that it’s so common," one wrote.

"I said to my husband I’d call my daughter barbie!!!!! I love it! My Nan was Barbara and wanted it to honour her but he’s not having it!" another added.

While a third commented: "I REALLY wanted to call my eldest Tiger Lily, she's Mia Lilly-Ann."
