Siblings find new baby's name so bad that parents react drastically

Florida (USA) - They were happy - and they were all alone: When Kaci and her husband Casey (yes, this is where the funny names start) told their children Sawyer and Indy the name of their little sister, the mood was in the basement shortly afterwards.

Last month, mom Kaci, who lives with her family in Florida, posted the matching clip on TikTok and Instagram. In it, her two kids are sitting in the living room with the few-day-old baby on their laps. Then they learn the name of their little sister: Murphy.

Indy immediately says in horror: "But I thought her name was Honey Bear". Her brother Sawyer also finds it hard to hide his disappointment and even wants to change the subject after a short while.

The children had been "obsessed" with the name "Honey" for months, their mother explained in an interview with Newsweek this week.

"We were never 100 percent sure about a name. But you feel enormous pressure to figure it out and sign the birth certificate soon after the birth. We even had our doubts in the hospital," said the US-American.

In the end, however, she and her husband reacted drastically to the negative feedback from their children.

The parents actually had the name officially changed to "Honey" a week later. So the children got their wish after all.

Kacey doesn't seem to regret this for another reason either: "I think there's a general consensus on the internet that people hate the name Murphy."

A criticism that the couple cannot understand. "We personally still love it and think it's cute for little girls, but 90 percent of our comments were hate comments against the name," the mother told the US magazine.

In the meantime, she has even blocked the comment column of the video, which has been clicked on more than three million times.

However, the parents are not happy about the name change because of the strangely harsh criticism of "Murphy", but because in the end they themselves felt that it "didn't feel right".
