A WOMAN has sparked debate by revealing the unique way she is coming up with a name for her daughter.
Haley already has three children and will welcome her fourth child into the world later this year.
But she admitted she was struggling to find a nickname for her unborn baby.
So she decided to try a unique method to find the perfect name – visiting the local cemetery.
“When cemeteries have the prettiest names, you take the family to look for the girl’s name,” she wrote at the top of her TikTok videoas she headed to the Old Smithville Cemetery.
She then began looking at the tombstones and admiring the names, including James, Julian, Ella and Galloway.
Salem was another name that stood out, as well as Winnie and Vienna.
“Fun fact: my sister (name) came from someone’s tombstone.” she wrote in the caption.
But comments were divided on whether it was “weird” or cute.
“How did you choose my name, mom? We looked in an old cemetery”, commented one of them.
As another insisted: “I cannot enter a place of death when I am creating new life.”
“Oh this is scary,” wrote a third.
“I get so uncomfortable in cemeteries,” said someone else.
“The way my soul left my body…” added another.
“Is it just an Irish thing not to walk into a cemetery pregnant?”
But others agreed more with the concept.
“This is honestly beautiful,” one said.
“What a way to honor those who have passed away!”
“You know, at first I thought, oh no, that’s weird, but I discovered that I loved the idea of it!” another added.
“Congratulations too!”
“As a funeral director, I have recommended this to many of my pregnant friends,” wrote a third.
“Their names come to life again.”
“This is the first video I’ve seen like this, I would never have thought of it, BUT I absolutely love this idea!!!” someone commented.
“Especially if you research the person!”
