‘Is that the name or an accusation?’ people cry after spotting unfortunate double meaning in sign at gender reveal
A MUM has been slammed after people spotted the unfortunate double meaning on a sign at her gender reveal.
Gender reveals are becoming increasingly popular in the UK, with couple’s eager to share their joy at finding out the sex of their baby.
Couple’s are never short of ideas for unique ways of revealing their baby’s gender, from attaching powdered paint to dumbbells, to writing the gender on slices of pizza.
However, one couple appear not to have thought carefully enough about the double entendre of their décor whilst hosting their own reveal.
Posting to Reddit, one person shared a series of pictures from the gender reveal, where the expectant mum and dad had decorated their home and garden with a number of signs, sporting the words ‘baby’ and their last name.
In the first picture, the name is displayed in large letters in the garden, surrounded by dozens of pink and blue balloons.
In the second picture, the name is scrawled on table decorations.
Although this may have seemed a sweet idea the couple’s last name is Harmer, meaning that the sign read: Baby Harmer.
“Is that the name or an accusation?”, the Reddit poster questioned.
The post was flooded with hundreds of comments from Reddit users, many of whom were shocked that the couple hadn’t realised the double meaning.
One person said: “It looks more like they are confessing to a crime.”
A second person said: “I first read this as the baby of the Harmer’s.
“And then my brain read “baby harmer” as in harms babies. Made me chuckle, assumedly they don’t harm babies!”
A third person said: “Did they not consider writing it as ‘Harmer Baby’ instead?”
A fourth person added: “The are so many names that would be terrible with that surname, but I’m going to root for it being a boy named Dick”
A fifth chimed in: “This is so funny I can’t stand it”.

The world's most expensive gender reveals
GENDER reveals are becoming bigger and more elaborate day by day, with people constantly thinking of different ways to up those before them.
And money is no issue for a lot of these couples – with some spending hundreds or thousands on the event.
Read on for some of the most expensive gender reveals in history.
Ste Hamilton
Wealthy property tycoon and YouTuber Ste Hamilton decided to gift his wife-to-be Isabella Rowles with a £300,000 Lamborghini, which would be in either pink or blue to reflect their baby’s gender.
Steven and Isabella and friends and family attended an extravagant event at the Belfry Hotel and Resort near Birmingham to find out they were having a baby boy.
“It was worth every second of the hard work to see the happiness in everyone’s faces on the day,” Ste said, after spending a further £40,000 on the big reveal.
Logan Paul
The wrestling star and YouTuber and fiancee Nina Agdal staged a public wrestling match for their gender reveal.
A wrestler in pink trunks took on one in blue, with the one in pink emerging victorious – signifying that they are having a baby girl.
Inga Stumbriene
The Lithuanian influencer hired planes to fly in the sky as she, her fiance and their nearest and dearest watched.
The planes dropped a load of blue confetti – revealing the pair were having a boy – but people insisted it was the “most polluted” gender reveal ever.
Anonymous couple
One of the most recent jaw-dropping gender reveals happened in May 2024, when a couple decided to DYE a waterfall to reveal if they were having a boy or girl.
After the videos circulated on the social media, the public demanded for the couple to be punished, with some suggesting they should go to jail.
Others were concerned about water contamination, as the pair had used a powdered chemical known as “Blue Lagoon” into the Queima-Pe River, which feeds the waterfall.
