Australian fashion designer Ailie Smith claims that her haters say her baby’s name sounds like a sex act but to her, it’s unique and one in a million. You can name your baby whatever and keep it out of social media but with these influencers, it’s all about chasing clouts with their private lives.
The New York Post got more;
An Australian woman nearing the end of her pregnancy earnestly revealed one of her favorite baby names on TikTok — only for haters to complain it sounds like a raunchy sex act.
Fashion designer Ailie Smith took to the social media site last month to share several potential monikers for her unborn baby boy.
In her video, which has clocked more than 31,000 views, Smith lists a series of quirky names she is thinking of giving her son, including Rou, Abbe, and George.
The blond then discloses the one name nearest and dearest to her heart, stating: “So the other name that I’ve had, has been on my list the longest … And that name is Augie.”
Perhaps because of Smith’s Australian accent, many viewers mistook the name Augie for the word “orgy” and quickly commented beneath the clip.
“Not Augie coming up as orgy on auto caption!” one tickled TikToker responded.
Indeed, the TikTok transcript of Smith’s video features the word “orgy” instead of “Augie” — even though she pronounces the name with a hard “g.”
The clip attracted attention in her native Australia, with the website Kidspot reporting on the awkward mix-up of Augie and orgy.
“If that child was called Augie, they would be in counseling for life,” one unimpressed viewer of the viral video told the outlet.
“She clearly wants her child to be brutally bullied in the schoolyard.
Like bullying isn’t hard enough to avoid as a kid — this is ASKING for trouble,” a second emphasized.
“Parents who name their kid something that they think sounds cool or chic never think about the real-world implications,” another tartly told the publication.
According to Nameberry, Augie is usually used as a nickname for August or Augustine and is rarely chosen by parents as a name on its own.
