'Entitled mum was livid I could pronounce her son's name – she wanted a rare one'

A woman has been left gobsmacked after an 'entitled' mumshouted at her for pronouncing her child's rare name correctly. She explained how she calls out hundreds of names every day at her job to make sure everyone receives their correct parcel - and because of this, she has seen various spellings of the same names.

However, she was stopped in her tracks when she saw the name Seaghan written across a parcel. She said on Reddit: "In my 40+ years of living in Ireland I had never seen this name spelt like this before.

"One day I had a package to call out with the name Seaghan, I had never seen this spelling before but after a few seconds I realised it was another form of Sean."

Despite her initial confusion, she was able to figure out the correct way to say the moniker. The woman continued: "As I was looking at the package I could see out of the corner of my eye a woman smirking, but when I called out the name correctly her face actually turned angry."

With that, the enraged mum "stormed" up to her and snatched the package right out of her hands in anger. She added: "She was absolutely furious that I was able to say the name correctly. I was so shocked like why would you be so angry that someone could pronounce your child name correctly?

Commenting on her post, one user said: "Wow. She named her kid something with the intent of making their life miserable.

"She was mad because you ruined her planned opportunity to embarrass and ridicule her kid. Feel so bad for that kid."

Another user added: "This actually explains so much. Why would you want to give your child a name that nobody can pronounce?

"Because now you have a built in reason to pick a fight all day everyday. It's definitely giving main character syndrome."

A third user sarcastically said: "Well now she doesn't feel special, how dare you. She worked very hard to make herself feel important at her child's expense."

One more user added: "My son has a fairly uncommon name and when he was about 14 months old we were at the library and this mum with newborn twins came in to the group.

"She introduced them and paused for dramatic effect before saying the boy’s name. And I was like, 'Whoa! That’s my son’s name too! How cool to meet another one. Probably won’t happen a lot for them'.

"She was so rude to me about it! Scoffed at us multiple times. She was like well for us it’s a family name so it’s special.

"And I was like yeah, for me too (my son is named after my husbands grandfather). I got the vibe that she wanted us to leave. She had an attitude the rest of the story time and didn’t participate.

" Weirdest experience ever. Some people just want to feel special and are mad when they don’t get the attention they want. "
