A woman has been slammed for revealing how she wants to name her daughter after the dating app she met her husband on.

The mum-to-be, who is seven months pregnant, met her husband on Tinder - and wants to celebrate their love for each other through their firstborn's name.

In a Facebook post, which has since been shared on Reddit, she said: "I've been fighting with my husband because he doesn't like the name I've picked out. I want to name her Tinderleigh because we met on Tinder a little over a year ago. The site helped me find my true love, and I think the name is perfect."

She says her husband thinks the name is "embarrassing" and could negatively impact the family - especially their daughter - throughout life. She added: "He doesn't want people to know we met on there [Tinder]. How can I convince him how special this name is to me? Plus I'm a little hurt that he is embarrassed by the way we came together in this world."

Commenting on the post, one user said: "Imagine if that's how people named their kids. Barleigh, Clubleigh, Workleigh, Classleigh, Busleigh, Redditleigh..." Another user added: "I met my girlfriend in high school. I can’t wait until we get to name our daughter Heighly Schooleigh."

A third user said: "Yes, the name may be special to you. Nothing prevents you from naming yourself Tinder-whatever. It means nothing to your child. Do not make your child your billboard." One more user added: "Hold up...you mean to tell me I should have named my daughter Yahoogamesleigh? Damn, she's 17 now. I'm gonna go tell her we're changing her name..."
