Pregnant woman devastated after friends mistake her baby's name for typo

A mum-to-be left people scratching their heads after revealing her newborn son's name at a gender reveal party - as her guests couldn't figure out whether it was a typo or not

A woman has been left gobsmacked after hearing what her friend wants to call her newborn son. She explained how she was invited to a gender reveal party which included a name reveal at the end, much to the surprise of the guests.

But everyone at the party couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the moniker she'd picked out written across a cake. Taking to Reddit, she said: "My friend recently had a gender reveal/baby shower/baby name reveal party. It was an enormous event filled with the typical gimmicky baby things.

"After the gender was revealed at a garden party we were moved to a blue room filled with everything blue. She had a huge table laid out with the typical 'it's a boy' things and a burner cake (burn the top of the cake to reveal something underneath)."

The mum-to-be burnt off the top layer of icing to reveal her son's name - Tihrys. While some of her guests scratched their heads in confusion, others put the 'strange' moniker down to a typo and asked her about it. The woman added: "Everyone's reaction was rather comical, lots of groans and confused muttering from the elder guests.

"The rest of the party was really uncomfortable and weird for the expecting parents as everyone was coming up to apologise for the baker's terrible spelling/typo. My friend laughed it off but I could tell she was offended by it. She'd been bragging how she has the 'perfect, unique name that no other child will have'. Yeah, probably because no child would want it."

Commenting on her post, one user said: "These people can’t understand that having a name that no other kid will have isn’t a good thing." Another user added: "I couldn’t be happier that she decided to reveal the name at this party… hopefully this keeps her from naming her baby a name that is really unpronounceable. The universe wins this one." A third user said: "I am not a native speaker and can't figure out how to pronounce that. Tie-rys? At first it kind of reminded me of the French name 'Thierry' with a silent 's'."
