Trolls call me a ‘chav’ over my child’s unique name – they say I ruined her life and will have a ‘lifetime of bullying’
Trolls call me a ‘chav’ over my child’s unique name – they say I ruined her life and will have a ‘lifetime of bullying’
Published on March 30, 2025 at 04:43 PM
A MUM revealed how her unique baby name pick sparked backlash online.
People have even told the 35-year-old that she “ruined”; her daughter's life.
Emma decided to name her baby Elae Larose as she wanted her to have a unique moniker
Emma Louise Hutton, 35, explained that she believes most children’s names are “boring”;.
She wanted to get creative when choosing a moniker for her daughter, who is now aged one.
The family settled on Elae â pronounced L.A âLarose.
But it’s come with “hateful”; comments from online trolls who think she’s “ruined”; the tot’s life.
They also call Emma, who works as a nail technician, a “chav”; because of the name pick.
“I’ve had people say that they feel sorry for my child, or that I’ve set her up for a lifetime of bullying,”; the young mum told What's The Jam.
“They’ve called me a chav, or [say] that I’ve tried to win a competition for the world’s weirdest name.”
However, Sheffield native said that she doesn't let the haters get to her.
“I honestly couldn’t care less, but I find it so strange that grown adults feel the need to share their horrible negative thoughts on a child,” she said.
“I would never comment on a mum’s post telling her I think her baby’s name is stupid and horrible.”;
Emma, who boasts 3.8m views and 52,000 likes on a TikTok video about her daughter’s name, said she always wanted to go with something unique.
“Being called Emma was very popular throughout school â and still is,” she explained.
“I used to joke with my mum about how many other girls were in my year with the same name.
“I didn’t want that for my children and I always loved something unique.”
She revealed that she “fell in love” with the name Elae after learning about the name from a client.
Are Unique Baby Names Worth The Hassle?
YOU may think having a unique name helps you to stand out, but is it all it's cracked up to be?
Fabulous' Deputy Editor Josie Griffiths reveals the turmoil she faced with her own name while growing up.
When I was a child, all I wanted was one of those personalised keyrings with my name on it.
But no joy, the closest I could find was Rosie, Joseph (not great for a little girl) and Joanne.
Josie is short for Josephine, which is a French name, and I managed to reach my 20s without ever meeting anyone who shared it.
When I try to introduce myself to people, I get all sorts of random things – like Tracey and Stacey – which can be pretty annoying.
Although I have come into contact with a couple of Josies over the last year – there seems to be a few of us around my age – it’s still a much rarer name than most of my friends have.
On the whole I don’t mind it, at least it’s not rude or crazily spelt.
And it means I can get away with ‘doing a Cheryl’ and just referring to myself as Josie.
I’m getting married this year and some friends are shocked that I’m changing my surname, as it’s not seen as very cool or feminist to do so these days, but I explain to them that I’m not that attached to Griffiths as I’d always just say ‘hi it’s Josie’ when ringing a mate up.
I think it’s nice to be unique and I’ll definitely try and replicate this when naming my own kids.
It’s the rude names you’ve got to watch out for, so after nine years as a lifestyle journalist I’ll definitely be avoiding those.
“My husband was very supportive of the decision, as were my friends âbut my parents didn’t like it very much,” Emma recalled.
“They love it now, of course.”;
She added that her Yorkshire accent might be the reason people think her daughter is called Ellie, or said maybe it’s just “laziness”;.
The mum has stopped correcting those who mispronounce or misspell the name, though said it’s still very infuriating.
“Whenever I do try to correct someone, they just give me a weird awkward smile,” Emma added.
Emma pointed out that it is common for children to have unusual names and said she didn't think her daughter would be bullied
“So it’s not worth it anymore.
“I don’t think she’s going to be bullied, as lots of kids nowadays have unique names.
“I think she’ll get frustrated with having to correct people all the time and not being able to find any toys with her name on.
“But I don’t regret it at all and will never consider changing it.
“It’s the most beautiful name I’ve ever seen âand others should get more creative rather than sticking to boring ones.”;
