Picking a name for your baby is not an easy task but it is also important for parents to keep in mind that they are free to choose whatever they want for their bundle of joy.

But one woman shared how she was kicked out of her sister’s baby shower after she laughed when her sister announced the name of her baby girl.

Taking to Reddit, the woman explained that her sister’s name is Ella and her husband’s name is Sam.

“I have a younger sister Ella. She got married to Sam last year in a small socially distanced wedding. We knew they’d want kids right away, and last Sunday was the bay shower. I knew she’d announce the gender and name at it, but Sam’s mother arranged it so it was a surprise,” she wrote.

The poster said that they all cheered during the gender reveal.

“Ella goes, ‘okay name reveal’ and that’s when she pulls out a baby onesie with ‘Samnella’ on it.”

The woman said that that the cheers disappeared and that she burst out laughing, thinking it was a joke.

“Then I said, ‘Salmonella like food poisoning?’”

She said that Ella started screaming that she had ruined everything for them. Her mother also told her that she should have kept her mouth shut as the child would probably be called ‘Sammy.’

“Not going to lie I left after that. I’m told the party went on but the mood was different,” she said, adding that many members of the family agreed that Samnella sounds like salmonella.

Many Reddit users commented on her post, with one person writing: “Surely a wind-up? If not, no child’s name should sound like a bad chicken curry.”

Another wrote: “All I could think of is that poor kid in biology class in the future. We used to get teased if a character from an English lesson or an example sentence for grammar had our name in it. The kid is named after a disease!”
