I personally wouldn’t use either names. KVIIIlyn will be very confusing her whole life

The KVIIIlyn one would be a pain for others to pronounce and spell. Tree, I don’t mind it. It’s not as bad as many others.

not a fan but it isn’t my child so my opinion doesn’t matter

I think some parents don’t consider the lifetime of bullying their children will receive as a consequence. People are trying too hard to be different these days.

Seriously? Maybe they were having a lend of us all ?

Personally I wouldn’t call my child Tree. I’d be thinking about the child’s future and what sort of affect it would have on her. Some unique names can be nice but others are just simply too way out and over the top.

What the heck is wrong with Tree? How offensive are those people to Vietnamese people named Tri, pronounced the same way, every new name sounds stupid at first, say your own name enough times, after a while it doesn’t even sound like a real word lol

Do not like ‘unique’ names – how about thinking how your child will live with it before you give it to them – and always look at the initials of their name before you give it to them too. Think about the name Deborah Anne Mary Nelson and then decide if you might change it around.

I hate “unique” names. Majority of the time they just make me think the parents are too immature to be responsible for another human.

I personally wouldnt choose either of these names, but we are not the childs parents

Neither of those names are for me I’m afraid, but each to their own I guess…

I wouldn’t call it child abuse, but I think it’s important to think about the child carrying this name and how it could be received by others and the struggles this could cause.

I agree that some of the responses were uncalled for, but in saying that what’s to say this is the response that the mother wanted?
I find the name ‘Tree’ a bit over the top but I wouldn’t throw abuse at someone about it.

Some unique names are just taking things too far. I don’t think ‘tree’ is that bad compared to some names!

I’m sure there a lot of names that mean tree and as a middle name, well it’s fair gain. I’m sure names like Wednesday, Tuesday, summer etc were all considered weird but here we are. I’ve heard a heap worse for a name and wouldn’t go so far as labeling it child abuse!

No, personally is not a name I would give to my child. 🙂

Yes well. Tree isn’t the best name, but it’s hardly child abuse. That ridiculous version of Kaitlyn, though… I do feel sorry for that child.

I think some parents go way too far in giving their kids unique names. They need to realise these names will affect their child for many years. As far as ridiculous names go, Tree is quite mild and as a middle name is not that bad

I wouldn’t call my child tree but compared to a lot of other names it’s very tame. I’m surprised they were able to name their child a name that contained Roman numerals and not just letters I would be surprised if it wasn’t really on her birth certificate.

The name can never be abbreviated. I can imagine the child will be teased. Maybe it could be a middle name to avoid that. I suppose it is worse than some nicknames. The child can legally change her name later – I don’t know at what age but the damage will have been done before that.
