PICKING the perfect name for your newborn is a lot of pressure.

And although most parents land on a name that fits their little one quickly, some are left with some regrets about what the chose.

One mum confessed that although she doesn't regret the name she went with, she does think there were better options.

Mum-of-two Elli explained on TikTok that she thought she'd kept things simple with her son's name.

"I thought I chose a name that was short, international and easy to pronounce," she said.

Another mum wrote: "Haha I knew the name before you said it.
