"I also love Tangled so I just can't see anything wrong here," someone else added.
But the mum isn't the only parent who has come under fire recently for their baby name choices, in fact, one mum was slammed for giving her little one a name that sounds like a "troll".
This comes after a Reddit user explained that she came across the unusual moniker when her former classmate posted about her newborn.
"[I] decided to check Facebook for the first time in awhile and the first thing I see is that a girl I went to middle school with named her daughter Creeklee," the poster wrote.
"I think that is the worst name I heard so far."
She pointed out that people seem to be following the same trend when naming their children.
"You can’t put 'ly,' 'lee,' or 'leigh' behind any word and make it a name," she said.
"I’m imagining a cartoonish river troll. 'Oh, your shovel went missing? Must of been Ole Creeklee,'" joked one reader.
