Baby Names
A Woman Lost Her Mind When Her Friend Named His Baby ‘Tinkerbell’
In this day and age, “unusual” baby names are so common that most of us barely raise an eyebrow when we encounter a little Kombucha or Pretzel. So when a woman lost her mind on Mumsnet.com over the Disney baby name her friend gave his daughter, I thought, “How bad could it be?” Turns out, he named his daughter “Tinkerbell.” Unsurprisingly, the internet has a LOT of thoughts about this.
Mumsnet user liverbird10 posted in the “Am I Being Unreasonable” thread, wondering if her reaction to her friend’s Disney baby name was foolish.
“I want to shoot my friend…for naming his daughter Tinkerbell.”

Liverbird10 writes, “I know I am actually being unreasonable as it’s none of my business etc. Also shooting people is generally not the way to approach such matters. I feel so sorry for the poor kid. She’s going to go through torture at school. Not to mention the rest of her life. Imagine a high court judge called Tinkerbell.”
At least she realizes her reaction is, in fact, unreasonable.
