After finding out Abcde was the name a friend had bestowed on her newborn daughter, one mum asked: "Is this the strangest baby name ever?"

A user responded saying: "It should be illegal to saddle children with names like that. Awful."

"That is the silliest name I've ever heard - but kudos for the imaginative pronunciation. Some parents are too cruel," another added.

Other responses ranged from "OMG, is that a joke?" to "Poor child" and "That's just cruel."

Some users joked, writing: "It’s great because if they have another child, they can call it Fghij then the next Klmno and so forth."

According to Wikipedia, it is a rare Latin feminine name, with origins in Hawaii and is popular among Hispanic families in New Mexico.
