Nurse's mind blown as mum tells her she's been pronouncing the name Liam 'wrong'
When it comes to name pronunciation, it's no secret that there are some incredibly complicated names out there. Then there are the more common names, that most people have no problem saying out loud.
However, every now and then it seems there's a crossover between the two, as a parent takes a popular name and decides to alter the pronunciation - but keep the spelling the same.
One woman has recounted an awkward situation she found herself in after getting a child's name wrong.
Taking to TikTok, Lindsey Foster, a nurse from the US, admitted that she's bad with names but didn't think she could butcher the name Liam after she saw it on a patient's file.
She said: "I'm a paediatric nurse and I'm from the deep, deep south, so I butcher everybody's name.
"If it's not something super simple like Ben or Sally, I'm gonna butcher it.
"So, I see a kid's name on our computer and I say 'Oh, Liam, I got this. L-I-A-M. Liam. Easy'.
