DECIDING YOUR child’s name is a big decision to make and one that you most likely won’t take lightly.
But one woman has revealed that she decided on her baby’s name five years ago, before she was even pregnant, but is now having second thoughts.
The woman took to Mumsnet to reveal that she is pregnant and due in a few weeks, but is panicking that her child will be bullied for the name she has chosen.
And she's not worried that people won't like the name, but it's because of the name's association with coronavirus.
The woman explained: “So we decided this name in September 2017.
"We had been trying for a baby for a while and knew this would be our girl name when we eventually fell pregnant.
“Anyway, we have since found out we are having a baby girl and I am due very soon.
“We decided to call her Cove.

Many Mumsnet users were quick to comment on the name and advised her to change the name to avoid the child being bullied due to it's association with coronavirus.
One person said: “On the one hand, you should choose a name you like. On the other, and I'm being honest since you asked, if I heard of a child called Cove born in 2020 or during the pandemic, I'd think the parents were trying and failing to be funny and that it was a bad call.”
Another added: “Yep, she’ll definitely get teased.”
A third commented: “Lovely name, but I agree it’s too close to covid to use now.”
Another said: “Lovely name, but I agree it’s too close to covid to use now.”
Someone else agreed: “I would choose a different name.”
