The new parents have been criticised for the name they decided to give their newborn daughter.
The baby girl’s unique name was displayed on a large billboard outside Intermountain Health’s Bloomin’ Babies Birth Center.
“Welcome to the world Annaly, 7 pounds 10 ounces,” the sign read.
Annaly is Irish and a variation of the female name Annaleigh, meaning ‘light’ or ‘grace’, according to Nice name for baby.
“It’s a perfect choice for parents looking for a unique and timeless name for their daughter,” the website states.
Not only did the new parents choose a very original name for their little girl, but they publicly displayed it on a large billboard (pictured) for everyone to see.
The image of the giant birth announcement, published in Redditquickly created a stir on the Internet as commentators weighed in on the odd choice of name.
One person said: “That poor kid is going to be bullied mercilessly…”
One joked: “It’s not the traditional way of giving birth, but I guess everyone has their own way.”
“Oh my god, that poor kid,” another person wrote.
“Doomed to be anal forever,” wrote another.
Someone else said the poor choice of name “is a hate crime.”
Others suggested similar names that were not spelled so crudely.
“Why not ‘Anna Lee’?” said one commenter.
