PICKING the perfect name for your new-born is sometimes easier said than done.
But what do you do when there's no name that you like?
That's the dilemma one mum had when she decided to make up a name for her baby girl.
She explained on Reddit: "I've always been obsessed with fairies so I knew I wanted to call her Fae."
But since the mum fell in love with the name it had gained a lot of popularity, making it less appealing to her.

"It's a lot of vowels and kinaweird but it's grown on me," the mum confessed.
She continued: "It would be pronounced like Fay-oh-win altogether, my mum says just Faewyn would be better but I like the O."
