In a post on Reddit, one user shared the unusual name, which she a woman she knows posted on Facebook.
“Thank you Lord God for the safe arrival of our Princess,” the unnamed woman wrote in her birth announcement.
While “Princess” may not seem like a strange thing to call a young girl, the mum revealed that it was more than just a term of endearment.
“Welcome to the world baby Princess Khyth,” she said.
The original poster was less than impressed with the baby name choice.
“Who needs vowels, right?” the Reddit user asked in the title of their post.
Other Redditors shared their thoughts on the unique baby name pick in the comments section.
“Sounds like the sound my cat makes choking up a hairball,” wrote one reader.
“Imagine trying to get hired with that name,” pointed out another person.
“That poor wee baby, it’s a terrible name,” commented a third Reddit user.
Others debated on how the unique name is supposed to be pronounced.
“I feel like I am having a stroke when trying to figure out how to say this,” wrote one commenter.
“I first read Keith but [thought] surely not. Retried and got Kith and that’s not better,” said another person.
“My brain wants it to be some variant of Katie based on just site reading, but it just can’t get there,” commented one reader.
“Maybe all the letters are silent and she’s just Princess?” suggested another Redditor.
Are Unique Baby Names Worth The Hassle?
YOU may think having a unique name helps you to stand out, but is it all it’s cracked up to be?
Fabulous’ Deputy Editor Josie Griffiths reveals the turmoil she faced with her own name while growing up.
When I was a child, all I wanted was one of those personalised keyrings with my name on it.
But no joy, the closest I could find was Rosie, Joseph (not great for a little girl) and Joanne.
Josie is short for Josephine, which is a French name, and I managed to reach my 20s without ever meeting anyone who shared it.
When I try to introduce myself to people, I get all sorts of random things – like Tracey and Stacey – which can be pretty annoying.
Although I have come into contact with a couple of Josies over the last year – there seems to be a few of us around my age – it’s still a much rarer name than most of my friends have.
On the whole I don’t mind it, at least it’s not rude or crazily spelt.
And it means I can get away with ‘doing a Cheryl’ and just referring to myself as Josie.
I’m getting married this year and some friends are shocked that I’m changing my surname, as it’s not seen as very cool or feminist to do so these days, but I explain to them that I’m not that attached to Griffiths as I’d always just say ‘hi it’s Josie’ when ringing a mate up.
I think it’s nice to be unique and I’ll definitely try and replicate this when naming my own kids.
It’s the rude names you’ve got to watch out for, so after nine years as a lifestyle journalist I’ll definitely be avoiding those.
“I think they were aiming for Princess Kate with a lisp,” joked one reader.
“First I read it as Khyth (rhymes with wife), then I read it a Khyth (as in kiss but with a lisp), then I put my phone down because this gave me a headache,” said another person.
“I read it like Mike Tyson would say kiss,” commented one Reddit user.
“First name Princess? At least it’s spelled correctly,” pointed out another commenter.
“Yes, that’s so confusing to me. They can spell Princess, and then just threw some letters together to complete the name?” asked one reader.
