The first and middle name they picked for their son left many people chatting.

Posting on TikTok, Mackenzie Waddell talked through her decision with her partner for her son's name.

In the clip, the mum, 27, said she was happy with her daughter's name but her son's name caused a stir among others.

She said: "I've always had problems picking out names for kids because they're going to have it forever.

"My husband really liked the idea of having family names – I love my daughter's name, her name is Paige Addison – Paige is my mother-in-law's maiden name and Addison was his great-grandfather's name.

"So when I found out I was having a boy, I wanted to do the same, but for my family."

She explained she wasn't a huge fan of the male names in her family so didn't know what would work best.

Mackenzie added: "I liked the name Joseph after my father but didn't want it as a first name. My husband's grandfather's name is James, but our husband really didn't want our kid to be named JJ.

"So I came up with the brilliant idea, well my dad's father's name was Richard, we could name him after the great-grandpas."

Therefore, the son's full name is now James Richard but many have been quick to notice the nicknames will make the name Jimmy Dick.

Now the video racked up over 680,000 views as it gave a lot of people something to giggle about.

One said: "Omg my brother's name is James Richard. And my dad."

Another added: "My dad and brother are both James Richard and gosh. We all hated it before but NOW!!!"
