Picking a name for your new born baby is an exciting but important task and it can be very challenging to decide on something that all of your loved ones like. Bella Davis, 18 found herself having to justify the unusual name she gave her to her six-month-old daughter after her family mistook it for a car manufacturer.
Bella, who is a stay-at-home mum, revealed: "When we told our friends and family almost everyone didn't like it. A lot of people thought of the car manufacturing company, Polaris Inc, who sell all terrain vehicles. Bella admitted that although she doesn't care for stranger's opinions she has stopped reading the 'hateful' comments. The 18-year-old said: "A lot of the comments are saying she'd be bullied in school for her name and that it's ugly."
The couple have defended their decision to give their daughter Polaris, pronounced as 'Pol-air-is', such a unique name and encourage other parents to 'go for it' if they like an unusual name. The proud mother said: "I've never once regretted naming her Polaris. To all the people online, I'd say it's not your kid and you shouldn't give your opinion unless it's wanted because the things people say do hurt and it's unnecessary.
