The anonymous woman, who took to social media to speak openly about her painful nickname, explained that her father chose her name when she was a teenager.

Sharing her story, the woman, whose name is Dystini, explained everything on Reddit, leaving many with their mouths open.

Posting on tragedy topic, Dystini revealed: “My name is Dystini, pronounced like Destinyjust written in the worst possible way.

“Apparently it was supposed to be Destinee, but clearly that spelling made a lot more sense.”

Not knowing what’s worse, she continued, “I’ve heard my name mispronounced in every way you can imagine, when the assistants at the doctor’s office stare too long at the next patient’s name, I know it’s my name they’re trying to find out.

“I’ve pretty much stopped correcting people unless they ask me if they’re correct.”

Dystini then explained where his name came from, adding: “My name is Dystini because of my father, who chose it for his future first daughter at 14, after babysitting a two-year-old named Destiny, who was raised by some hippie friends he had or something.

“And so that when people go out with me they can say ‘I have a date with Dystini’.”

Dystini later revealed: “My father chose the name, but my mother spelled it.

“She was only 18 when she had me and passed away at 26.

“That’s it Cool Now that I’m not so aware of it, it’s like it’s the only thing she gave me that I can always see.

“To be honest, I don’t even like my name that much to begin with.

“It’s a name that I feel doesn’t grow on you – like it’s weird being a lady called Dystini.”

REDDIT USER REACTION

Reddit users flocked to the comments to share their thoughts on the woman’s name.

While some users encouraged her to legally change the spelling of her name, others laughed at the fact that her father included a “dad joke” in his name.

One user said: “Why not legally switch to Destiny? You don’t owe it to your father to live with that spelling.

Meanwhile, a second user added: “OY makes it sound like it should sound like Distiny instead of Destiny.”

A third user wrote: “At first I read it as Distiny. After I thought about it, it seems like it could be Diestiny too.

While someone else wrote: “It looks like an antifungal cream.”

Another user joked: “You look like a plate of pasta. DYSTINI BOLOGNESE!”

At the same time, another father explained, “I loved the dad joke at the end.

“I’m not going to lie, I defended Stacey as a name for our daughter. Because then I could tell people that Stacey’s mom is in charge.”
