The mum-to-be, from Finland, shared her worries on Mumsnet.
The woman, from Finland, shared her worries on Mumset as she revealed she wants to give her child a Finnish name. Writing on Mumset, she titled a post: 'Wondering if this name would work in the UK. Selja? Any first thoughts?'
"How would you pronounce it? It means elderflower in my language and I've been encouraged by MN to go with the name that I love despite it maybe being a bit tricky in other countries. My husband is English/French and he seems to like it too", she said. Another added: "Britain is a land of hard to pronounce place names . If they can cope with those, they'll manage a Selja. I would guess Sel-ya but I'd be wanting to know how to pronounce it right. Pretty name. Something quite elegant to it."
"The rest will just have to deal with it. My second born will have to spell and break down her name and repeat it slowly in syllables for probably her whole life.
