Redditor Any_author_5951 posted a picture of the names, which were printed on customized wall decor.

The screenshot, originally posted by someone else close to the family, was included in the post.

"These signs were perfect," read the text. "I am so happy with them."

"So is it pronounced Skyler or Kyler? I’m so confused," the Redditor added.

WHAT WERE THE NAMES?

The plaques read "Clinton Beau" and "Ckyler Joseph," sending fellow Redditors into a frenzy.

"That's not how the English language works," one wrote.

The original poster was in complete agreement, likening the choice of spelling to a popular clothing brand.

"That’s what I was thinking," they replied.

"And CK immediately makes me think of Calvin Klein. Then I’m thinking, 'Why didn’t they just name him Calvin?'

"Really, there are so many nice 'C' names they could have chosen."

PUBLIC OPINION

Several more Redditors chimed in on the unusual monikers for the twin boys.

"I know people named Beau. It’s fine," one pointed out.

"We had Beau and Joseph right there they can pick normal names."

"My brain read that as 'Clycker,' pronounced like 'clicker' at first," another added.

"Poor babies, being raised by parents who make choices like this."

"Ckyler is a crime," said a third.

"That kid is 100% going to go by his middle name," yet another wrote.

"Dear God, please tell me that’s a printing error," one more said of the twin boys' names.
