Every time I had to say my baby’s name, I would feel cringe, so I changed it.

A mum who named her newborn son 'Cash' is now 'cringing' when she has to introduce him to the world. 


She faced 'funny' jokes about if the name was 'written with a dollar sign' like 'Ke$ha', and 'Cash is King' T-shirts were given to her after she went through the 'naming remorse' process.


It's not uncommon for parents to feel 'Naming remorse' after the birth of a new baby. No matter ' a name is, once they start using it in everyday life, it can feel 'different'.


For Kate, from Australia, 'Cash' seemed like a 'cool idea' at first, but 'I was in my postpartum delirium and didn't know if I could do it'.


The last straw, according to Kate, was when another parent called Cash a “hipster name” and she “cried” when introducing him to a new friend.


"I wanted to say ‘hey’ to Johnny Cash", she said, "but I couldn’t think of a single song I could name except ‘I Walk the Line’."


After the name was officially confirmed, Kate’s friends admitted they were "shocked" by the cool" moniker. 


She mentioned that the initial occurrence took place when Apple launched their iPhone software update and emojis began appearing whenever she mentioned her son. "I was looking at a classic money bag," she included.



Cash changed his name to "Reuben" when he was just three months old and Kate’s friend came over to do the renaming ceremony for him. “It was a bit of a drag, but I appreciated the sense of humour.”

It should come as no surprise that Kanye West and 'implants that are like nothing that has been done before' are mentioned together. He's a man who doesn't take things lightly, and his most recent financial decision was reportedly to spend $850,000 on palladium and platinum teeth. And the oddest part of all? His teeth are all still intact. Credit: Instagram @Kanyewest The implants are termed as 'fixed-prosthodontics', and he designed them with the help of medical and dental professionals. A person familiar with the matter said : "They are, as the name suggests, fixed and permanent, but this goes way beyond veneers or grills."And his implant is unlike anything done before." He collaborated with the so-called 'Father of Diamond Dentistry', Dr. Thomas Connelly, who made and fitted the dentures. The rapper s...

The 'luckiest man in the world' who survived death and won the lottery twice

Image
Featured Image Credit: 9News Your chances of winning the lottery are tiny, roughly one in 45 million, so it is doubtful that any of us would win a large fortune in our lifetime. However, trucker Bill Morgan won the lotto twice. Bill's heart stopped for 14 minutes in June 1998, but he was miraculously revived by physicians. He wasn't out of the woods just yet, as he ended up in a coma for over two weeks. After being engaged in a terrifying vehicle incident, Australian Bill was proclaimed 'clinically dead' by health specialists, yet he outperformed expectations. Bill was out and about one day when he decided to purchase himself a scratch card and was happy to learn he'd won a brand new car - a Toyota Corolla worth $30,000. When word spread of his dramatic reversal of fortunes, a Melbourne television station called Bill to tell his story. While filming the feature, the 9News Australia TV crew requested him to duplicate his victory with a new scratch card, which he duti...

Dog says ‘hello’ in ‘English accent’, leaving people people baffled

Dog says ‘hello’ in ‘English accent’, leaving people people baffled Featured image credit: Jam Press/Tik Tok @fuggersandcompany Dogs have long been known for their cleverness, but a chihuahua has apparently reached a new level of intelligence, as it can speak' with a British accent.  Of course, most dogs are trained to bark when their owners tell them to ‘speak’, but this isn’t your typical woof. It’s a sophisticated, well-chosen delivery of the word ‘hello’, as if it’s coming out of the mouth of a well-dressed university professor. But the amazing thing is that the word doesn’t come from a professor, but rather from a dog named ‘Fuggers’. You heard me, didn’t you? In the video below, Fuggers shares her greeting with her owner, Shana Gilbert, who lives in Bedford, UK. The video begins with Fuggers fidgeting, as if she’s trying to get Shana’s attention. She wags her tail and shuffles along the floor, but then stops dead in her tracks as she decides that words will have more impact....
