While it might sound like a sweet and rewarding job, Jesse, who is better known as 'dreambabynames' on TIkTok, has shared her biggest icks when it comes to naming their babies.

"My biggest baby name icks as a baby name consultant," she said at the start of the video. "If you don't know what that means, I name people's babies for a living."

Keep reading to find out what Jesse claims are the four biggest no-nos when it comes to naming a baby.

"First baby name ick that drives me crazy, I call these scrabble names," she explained, before elaborating. "These names that you could have spelled with less complex letters, but you're adding like, as if you're trying to win a game of Scrabble."

Baby name ick number two, I hate when I'm working with a couple and one of the members of the partnership is visibly bullying the other into like a family name.

She went on to explain: "An example of what I typically see is an overbearing dad's side of the family really pushing for a name that's like a 'tradition' on his side. Mum doesn't like it but feels pressured, feels uncomfortable because it's like a 'family tradition'. I hate that. You don't get to bulldoze naming just because your family has a naming tradition."

While quirky and unusual names are becoming more and more popular, Jesse argues that parents some time can become too worked up in the need to find an unusual name for their child that comes with a 'shock factor'.

She explained: "It's not like they're choosing a name that's a little out there cause it speaks to them, it really is like beautiful to them. You can tell it's a little bit more just like for the production value's sake, and I just mean like obsessing over like 'oh my gosh, no one will have heard of this before' versus like 'oh my gosh, that's the name. It's so beautiful' - you know what I mean?"

"And finally, the cardinal sin to me, the biggest ick I can have while I'm helping you name your baby - being convinced that is dictated by how many babies with that name that you know," she said, before giving an example. "'There is no way Theodore is in the top 10, I've never met a Theodore' - that actually doesn't matter. It is."

However, after sharing her biggest icks when it comes to naming a baby, she went on to urge parents to name their child whatever they like, and not take to heart what she said.
