The parents chose a pretty odd moniker for their child

With millions of names to choose from, it can feel nearly impossible to settle on one that both you and your partner adore.

There are some names out there that you'll love, others you'll hate, and some that'll baffle you.

The main thing to focus on is choosing a name both you and your partner love, but two new parents in America didn't realise their mistake when naming their child in Colorado.

The couple were so overjoyed about their new arrival that they rented a billboard to announce the news to the world.

However, they didn't realise how controversial their child's name was until the public responded online.

The billboard read: "Welcome to the world Annaly, 7lbs 10oz."

Yes, you read that correctly.

The unusual name was hit with waves of backlash from social media users with many agreeing that the parents should change their newborn's name.

One Reddit user said the child would get bullied because of the name.

Another urged the parents to reconsider before it's too late to change it.

"That poor kid's gonna get so mercilessly bullied..." one added.

The original Reddit poster said, "You can't make this up - This is an actual birth announcement sign in my town."

The parents could easily change her name to Annaleigh and spare her years of bullying in the future.
