Mum had perfect baby name picked - but daughter ruins it by coming early

A mother has told how she had picked out a perfect name for her baby - but it was ruined when her daughter arrived early.

Tiffany took to social media to share how her little girl's name was going to be based off her due date.

However, when she came into the world sooner than expected, the new parent had to go with the flow.

In a video posted to her TikTok account, she explained that because her due date was May 17, she decided that her middle name would be May. However – they didn't expect her to arrive early.

Tiffany shared a picture of her daughter Eleanor and wrote: "When. your baby's middle name is May because she was due May 17 but she arrives on the last day of April."

Despite the name not being entirely appropriate anymore, she decided she wasn't going to let the baby's early arrival ruin the name she had planned for her, Mirror UK reports.

She added: "We didn't change it either," because it "didn't flow".

The video was racked up more than 1 million views on the video sharing app, and many commented that they had a similar situation with their own names, or their children's monikers.

One person said: "No worries lol. My middle name is June and I was born in May. It happens."

Another commented: "We named my daughter's middle name May as well because due date was May 5! Born April 30, 2017."

A third added: "My daughter was due in May but born in June, so spelt her name Mae."

Someone else suggested that they could have named her "April May" instead, adding a crying-while-laughing emoji.
