Expert reveals the 3 common names you should never give your baby for surprising reason

An expert has revealed the three names you should avoid naming your baby - and expectant parents will be happy to hear 'Aquaman' is not one of them.

When it comes to looking for baby names, there's a whole minefield of things expectant parents should look out for - I know as well as anyone, having had a child two years ago, and another on the way.

Unfortunately for me, I chose one of the three names that we're now being told we should refrain from using, but I was never warned, I just thought I needed to be cautious about whether my son would be bullied on the playground.

Although, in hindsight, I should've thought more about naming him after a superhero because then he'd be able to stick up for himself if he did get picked on.

That must have been the thought of Trisha Paytas, the influencer who just gave birth to baby Aquaman.

Anyway, a speech therapist has now revealed the three names which she would never call her children, and surprisingly, they're actually quite common, although having named my son one of them I hope they aren't too frequently picked!

Chloe Conrad, of Spunky Speech Therapy - which, if you're from the UK, you'll think is an unfortunate name for a business, but I'll let you Google the first word of that without the 'y' - has explained the names she would never call her kids.

"Three names I would never name my child as a speech therapist: Rory, Rowan and Aurora. They’re so hard to say,” she told her fans.

All three are strong names if you ask me, so I'm not sure if they're bluffing us!

No, Conrad's not as she went into a little more detail about why.

"Basically any name with R and O in it next to each other," she explained in the caption.

"I LOVE the way they sound but struggle teaching a child to say them.

"That being said… I have a Rory in my life that I love, thankfully she has been blessed with an emerging R and won’t need my support with that."

As a father to a Rowan, I can confirm that he hasn't struggled once - although as Conrad pointed out, this could be because he has an 'emerging R', which I guess is something to do with speech, but my son has donned his name from the start.
