I feel bad for the mom being embarrassed. At the same time the mom should have looked up the pronunciation.

Right? I checked the source to see how old the kid was, OP said around 2. We had Al Gore's internet in our pockets 2-3 years ago!! How as an American can you give your kid an Irish name without googling it first. Assuming it even happened at all, because reddit lol.

...2? i thought it was gonna be like 13 year old who might actually be embarrassed. a 2 year old wont care or remember. if it happened, the mom was just projecting.

Just 2? Then it's quite easy to just start pronouncing her name properly now (if the parents are interested in doing so). From the mother's reaction, it sounded as if the daughter was already in school, with tons of social relationships...

SERIOUSLY - in this day and age she can’t double-check the pronunciation of her own child’s name??? I double-check the pronunciation of the names I give my RPG characters lmaooo

yeah same. i get it'd suck but on the other hand how do you not do a deep dive on the name you're thinking of giving your child?
