A CHILD has received a unique moniker, and it's pronounced way differently than you would guess.
While unconventional baby names are on the rise, not all names are created equal – a particularly odd name has stirred the internet up.
Posting to a Reddit forum, a user on the platform shared a name that had them completely perplexed.
"The worst one I’ve seen this week. The pronunciation is even worse," they wrote.
They posted a social media photo of a woman who had just given birth.
"We welcomed a beautiful little girl into this world named Imagine in 2018. (Em-ah-jen)," she wrote over the photo, clarifying the odd pronunciation that veers from the traditional pronunciation of the word.
One person suggested a similar-sounding moniker they felt would've worked just as well.
"Imogen was right there," they wrote.
Another user felt the chosen name sounded quite scientific.
"I don’t like that name, reminds me of a chemical or element of the periodic table but it’s sure better than this atrocity," they wrote.
"You can’t just name your kid a regular word and say it’s pronounced completely different?!???? You can’t….????" a third person said.
They wrote: "They've consigned Imagine to a whole lot of future problems.
"From her first day of kindergarten, she's going to have to correct her teachers, substitutes, administrators, and anyone else who reads her name out. (I know what I'm talking about; my own name has five letters, and has been mangled endlessly.)
"It doesn't seem like a huge problem, but it's going to get really tiresome for Imagine."
