<h2>A seminar organiser was left speechless upon learning that a participant&#8217;s real name is Baby Girl, after having almost told her off for using a nickname</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p><p>The mistake was shared on Facebook by the organiser herself, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.facebook.com/nina.othman.3">Nina Othman</a>, the founder of social enterprise Borneo Cocoa.</p>
<p>Apologetic about the incident, Nina wrote that she was holding a leadership seminar for fellow entrepreneurs, and advised them to use their real names on social media to showcase a professional image.</p>
<p>&#8220;I instructed them to avoid using nicknames or usernames such as &#8216;Sweet Girl&#8217;, &#8216;Pinky Comel&#8217;, &#8216;CuteBear33&#8217;, or other names similar to it, and everyone agreed,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>However, during the ice-breaking session, <b></b><b>she realised there was a participant who listed her name as &#8216;Baby&#8217; and questioned the woman.</b><b></b></p>
<p><b>&#8220;She then told me that Baby Girl Ariffin was indeed her name. I feel so guilty (for questioning her)!&#8221;</b> she wrote.</p>

<div class="">
<p><p>&#8220;Many people I meet do not believe it at first. They think it&#8217;s a &#8216;glamour name&#8217;, but it&#8217;s my real name that&#8217;s written on my identification card,&#8221; she told <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.hmetro.com.my/utama/2024/01/1050296/saya-baby-girl">Harian Metro</a>.</p>
<p>The 37-year-old from Tuaran, Sabah said her name was not given by her parents, but by her aunt.</p>
<p>&#8220;I once asked my aunt why she gave me that name. <b>She answered that she did not know what to name me at the time&#8230; so she just chose the name Baby Girl.</b></p>
<p>&#8220;I have five siblings, and I am the third child, but only my name is different from the others,&#8221; she added.</p>

<p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never been teased, people who have just met me will only be surprised and just ask again to be sure,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>She added that she is comfortable with her name and has never thought of changing it at the National Registration Department.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m okay because Baby Girl is an endearing name, and does not mean anything bad. My husband doesn&#8217;t have a problem with it, and he calls me Baby,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>She added that her nieces and nephews, or anyone younger than her, calls her &#8216;Aunty Baby&#8217; or &#8216;Kakak Baby&#8217;.</p>
