WHEN it comes to naming your baby, there are a lot of things to think about, from whether it will suit them as they grow to how other people will adopt it.
But one woman has revealed how she was relentlessly bullied at school thanks to her Greek name.

On social media, the woman shared her unusual name, considering she lives in the United States.
Although it may be popular in Greece, the name is not as common in America, where it grew up causing many children to make fun of it.
She revealed that her name was Aphrodite, after the Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and procreation.
But it wasn’t good for her while she was growing up.
Posing in front of the camera wearing a Los Angeles cap, denim shorts and white vest, she revealed what it was really like growing up with a unique baby name.
She said, “Me, when my parents decided to name me Aphrodite and then send me to public school as a below-average-looking child.”
Aphrodite stated that the entire ordeal was a “character-building exercise.”
Despite being bullied at school, it seemed that many people now agreed that the name was perfect for the young brunette.
The clip was shared on his TikTok account @aphvlogs where it soon went viral with more than 3 million views and 600 thousand likes.
People were quick to take to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person wrote, “I was cast as Aphrodite in a high school play and people kept asking me how.”
Another commented: “Awww you are not below average! You are handsome!”
“When I was a kid I had some weird phases,” Aphrodite replied.
“But you are really beautiful so they got the name right,” wrote a third.
