Eli told her fans her son had issues with the name “Seth” due to where she lives. She responded to a video asking any parents if they “regret” their children’s names.

The parenting expert said: “Not that I regret the name that I chose for my child. I thought I chose a name that was short, international, and easy to pronounce. The name I chose is not popular in Australia.”

“My son’s name is Seth. I have to say Seth like Seth Rogan or no one knows what I’m saying.” The content creator explained: “We usually get ‘Seeth’ or ‘Steph'”. 

Seth is a boy’s Hebrew name meaning “placed” or “appointed”. It appears in the Bible and the Torah, is was the name of Adam’s third son in the First Testament.

Famous Seths include actors Seth Green, Seth Rogan, and Seth McFarlane. The name reached peak popularity in the year 2000 in the US, according to Social Security Administration.

A number of other parents chimed in claiming their sons, also named Seth, had similar issues. One said: “My son’s name is Seth and I did not think it was a name I’d have to spell out so often.”

Other parents discussed issues people had spelling other names they had given to their children. “Same here!” one parent said, “My American self wishes I would’ve known that Milla here sounds like Miller. I should’ve chosen one L then maybe they can say ‘Mee-la’”.”

Another wrote: “I named my daughter Lyla and my husbands whole family says Layla cause that’s how they pronounced it in their language.”

“I named my girl Coraline thinking no issues will come of it just to get ‘Korra-Lean’ every damn time,” one said. Another said: “Marianne…the amount of people that say Marie anne or Mary Anna!”
