‘People hate my son’s cool, unique name — but I’m not changing it’

A new mum has revealed that not everyone is as wild about her son’s unusual moniker as she is – but she insists “I’m not changing it”.

A US mum has revealed her baby’s unusual name is raising eyebrows but she has insisted “I’m not changing it”.

Calyn Breann revealed her son’s moniker — Coast — is not as popular as she thought it would be in a now-viral video.

In the six-second TikTok, which has been viewed 1 million times, Breann holds baby Coast under a note that reads: “You should have named him something different, his name won’t age well.”

“I love my baby coast!!!!” the mum captioned the post.

Though Breann noted her infant’s unique name has drawn negative comments, several social media users praised it.

“Coast is a great name!” one user enthused.

“Coast is so adorable, and it fits him so well,” agreed another.

“I like that name. Nothing wrong with it. There’s a lot worse,” added a third.

“As someone who loves the beach, I would 100% name my kid this,” offered someone else.

Others advised the blond beauty not to harbour a grudge.

“Name your baby what you want,” another recommended. “Don’t worry about what others say.”

Coast was the 3225th most popular baby boy name last year, according to Baby Center data, and it has been rising in popularity since 2018 among the site’s users.

Breann, who often posts about her life as a young mum since giving birth in late October, said her baby boy loves his name — but she has an idea if he changes his mind when he grows up.

“(He) smiles every time I call him Coast!” she gushed in a comment. “And his middle name is Jackson. He can always ask to be called Jackson when he is older.”
