PARENTS draw name inspiration from all corners.
And it seems that one parent has given their sons monikers that together spell something really awkward.
"Does anyone regret what you named your child?" a Reddit user posed the question to the "Too Afraid To Ask" group.
Another user took to the comments to share the pair of names that their friend had picked out for their own kids.
"My friend at work (she's from Texas) named her sons Smith and Wesson," the user wrote.
Smith and Wesson is an industry leading manufacturer of pistols, revolvers, and rifles – not exactly child friendly.

The names chosen by the friend also sounds similar to the name of a popular chain restaurant in the UK with American offerings – Smith & Western.
The Reddit user continued: "I'd like to add that for the longest time I thought they were dogs."
They originally thought the second name was Weston, but later added: "Wesson not Weston. I only hear her talk about them never written. Sorry!!"
Others users shared some child-naming regrets in the comments section of the post.

One person wrote: "While naming my firstborn I asked my husband what his mother's middle name was so I can give it to my daughter as a middle name.
"He said 'Maria' so we went with that, only to find out later that it was actually 'Marie.' So yeah, I regret trusting that my husband knew his mother's full name."
Another shared a story of their parent's name blunder.
They wrote: "Not me but my parents were somewhat regretful that they named me Aaron. My dads name is Eric and he wanted to name me Eric also.
"Mom shut that down because she didn’t like the idea of juniors. Their compromise was to name me Aaron, specifically because it sounded like Eric but is different, satisfying both of them.

"Fast forward four years when I, a four-year-old who couldn’t annunciate well [was] trying to introduce myself but everyone mistakenly [thought] I was saying Eric. I cried because 'nobody knew my name and they think I’m dad.'
"Eventually they conceded and nicknamed me another name, after my grandfather. I prefer the new name regardless so win-win I guess."
