Karissa Collins, 42, from the US, went viral on TikTok after sharing the names of her family.
In the clip, which has amassed over 10 million views, the mum stood with one of her youngest as they went through the whole family sharing their names,
There was: Anchor, Anthem, Anderson, Answer, Aniston, Anisa, Angelie, Angel, Andre, Arrow and Armor.
But after sharing the unique names people on TikTok weren't so sure what to make of them.
Many thought the kids would grow up to be bullied because of their names, whilst others praised the mum for going outside the box with her choices.
"They're going to get teased for those names later on, just cruel really," one person commented.
"What's happening here? I had to listen again just to make sure I heard it right," a second wrote.
"Bro just picked up a dictionary and started naming them in order," someone else joked.
"Anchovies was in the bathroom during filming," another joked.
Others shared some other name suggestions for the mum, poking fun at her seemingly random A-names.
"Armadillo, Alopecia, Avocado," one said.
Meanwhile, others suggested: "Ancestor, Ambulance, Alphabet, Acne, Algorithm."
Not everyone hates the names though, as one person said: "I love them, stunning children too."
"You have a beautiful family," another chimed in.
This isn't the first time the mum has faced backlash online though, as trolls roasted her when she revealed she'd been pregnant 15 times since the age of 25 and has barely had a break from baby bumps in nearly two decades.
One again posting on the account @TheCollinsKids, the mum stunned fans in May when she announced yet another pregnancy, calling it 'the best Mother's Day surprise.'
Karissa and her husband, who've been married for 18 years, welcomed their first child back in their mid-20s and haven't looked back since.
Karissa first became a mum at the age of 25, and has subsequently been pregnant when she was 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 39 and 40.
She's also suffered three miscarriages in between.
Now, with over 700,000 followers tuning in for a glimpse into her busy, bustling household, Karissa is unapologetic about her life choices and even encourages other women to take the leap into big family life.
She said: 'It's not that scary. I promise you will figure it out. And it honestly gets easier. You don't have to keep your hands to yourself! Have all the babies and live with no regrets.'
But while many cheer her on from the side-lines, Karissa also faces brutal backlash from trolls who claim her lifestyle is harmful, not just to her, but to her kids.
One commenter raged: 'This is not okay – you barely have enough time for each child to get your attention. It's not even funny anymore, I feel bad for the kids.'
Another slammed: 'You're hurting your kids by continuing to take attention away from them. No human can give the same amount of love to 12 different kids unless they never sleep.'
Others accused the couple of only having children for content, saying the older kids must be doing the bulk of the work around the house.
Still, Karissa isn't fazed. For her, motherhood isn't just a lifestyle, it's a calling.

Inside Happy Gilmore 2: Producer and PGA Tour star Collin Morikawa reveal behind-the-scenes secrets and Travis Kelce's cameo
It's been almost three decades since Adam Sandler first graced the silver screen as downtrodden hockey player turned beloved golfer Happy Gilmore. But now he's back, and he has a whole host of famous faces with him. Sandler returned to his happy place Friday when Happy Gilmore 2, the long-awaited sequel to his 1996 cult comedy classic, finally teed off on Netflix. Modern Family star Julie Bowen reprises her role as Gilmore's love interest, Virginia, while Flubber actor Christopher McDonald and Hollywood star Ben Stiller also return. But this time around, Sandler hits the golf course with a glittering array of stars also along for the ride. Super Bowl winner Travis Kelce, musician Bad Bunny, rapper Eminem and a decorated roster of professional golfers, including World No 1 Scottie Scheffler and Masters champion Rory McIlroy, all make cameos next to Hollywood royalty. And sitting down with the Daily Mail to discuss the film at the luxury Montclair Golf Club in New Jersey - a key filming location in the film - producer Jack Giarraputo reveals it wasn't tough to lure the famous faces to set. Not even Taylor Swift 's boyfriend. 'Different cameos came in different ways,' Giarraputo reveals. 'With Travis, he was wearing the hat around and saying, "I heard there's a sequel, I want to be in it!" So that was helpful,' he continues. 'Adam saw Bad Bunny on SNL and thought, "He's funny, we should put him in the movie." 'We wanted to create an authentic golf environment, so we went after all the top players and because they grew up with the movie, they were like, "let's do it". So, it was a mutual feeling with the golfers.' Giarraputo admits he was pleasantly surprised by the acting skills of Kelce and Bad Bunny. 'It was all mutual love and respect. It's really funny to see that people are good at other things,' he adds. The PGA Tour's current biggest stars grew up with the original, which made for a cultural revolution in golf. The stereotypically uptight and stuffy sport was inundated with iconic quotes and memorable - if not, goofy - moments. It is, therefore, no surprise that an appearance in the sequel held a certain allure for the latest generation of golfers, including two-time major winner Collin Morikawa. Morikawa, who in addition to his cameo also stars in US Bank's TV spot collaboration with Happy Gilmore 2, is used to high-pressure situations with an Open Championship and PGA Championship to his name and multiple Ryder Cups for Team USA under his belt. But that calm and collected demeanor doesn't necessarily translate when those sloping fairways transform into a film set. 'I was nervous but it was exciting,' the Ryder Cup star tells the Daily Mail. 'More emotions than us playing on the golf course. We're so used to doing what we do. It's so routine when I'm on the golf course that I know what's going to happen. 'But in the production world, you don't necessarily know what's going to happen. Things pop up very spontaneously, ideas come and things change very quickly. I love how they just adapt. That's what I respect about these guys so much.' While he may vie week in and week out to best his rivals on the PGA Tour, the 28-year-old confesses he won't be taking home the Best Actor award among his peers. 'I am not the best,' he admits, laughing. 'I didn't get to spend time with Scottie [Scheffler], Bryson [DeChambeau], Rory [McIlroy], Brooks [Koepka] and that group. But I did spend a lot of time with Jordan [Spieth], Rickie [Fowler], Xander [Schauffele] and the Hall of Famers.' When pressed on who did shine the most on screen, Morikawa discloses that Spieth or Schauffele impressed him the most. 'This is not comfortable for us at all to sit down and have lines and be ready on the spot,' he continues. 'I know we have multiple takes but we don't want to get it wrong because we know we're just here hopefully adding to the film. 'I'll give it to the old guys - Freddie [Couples], Jack [Nicklaus] - that's definitely not their scene and I think they did a great job.' Morikawa further broke the stern golfing mold with his hilarious delivery in the film's accompanying ad in collaboration with US Bank, the official sponsor of the fictional tour in the movie. What do golf, Netflix and U.S. Bank have in common? Happy Gilmore 2! Premiering on Netflix July 25. #happygilmore2 — U.S. Bank (@usbank) July 16, 2025 Paige Spiranac pictured in a see-through dress at the premiere of Happy Gilmore 2 on Monday World No 1 Scottie Scheffler (left) and golf cult icon John Daly (right) are also tipped for cameos The commercial, which was shot by Frank Coraci, one of Sandler's go-to directors, sees Morikawa ride a club like a bull - a signature Gilmore celebration - something which surely does not come natural to a professional golfer. 'It's creating an environment on the set that's relaxed,' Coraci reveals when asked how he manages to get sports stars to let loose in front of the camera. 'It's being present for them and generally just watching what they're doing and laughing. 'The nice thing is that we [Happy Madison] have a track record of making pretty funny movies so I think it was easy from the trust aspect. Yes, he's going out on a limb but it's going to be worthwhile.' As well as a host of new faces, Happy Gilmore 2 has had to navigate a slew of new storylines that have overtaken the sport in recent years - most noticeably the revolutionary play of big hitters like DeChambeau and the emergence of LIV Golf, the PGA Tour's Saudi-backed rival circuit. 'It definitely was a big thing in the original movie that Happy Gilmore could hit the ball 400 yards,' Giarraputo explains. 'Now, it's not normal, but you do see it. So that was definitely a big change we had to figure out. 'And also with the new competing league idea, that was something we had to take into consideration. But all in all, we just wanted to find a good story that people who love the first movie could really enjoy this one.' And it's a movie Morikawa believes not only golf fans will enjoy. 'It's going to be huge,' the golfer gushes. 'I think this is going to bridge a lot of gaps between generations and even those that aren't into golf. Happy Gilmore bridges that gap into golf for people who don't know the sport. It's going to uplift our sport even more.'

Todd Chrisley quips he wanted to return to PRISON after seeing wife Julie's post-jail hairdo
Todd Chrisley has joked he thought about returning to prison after seeing his wife Julie Chrisley 's natural hair color. The reality TV stars served more than two years behind bars for tax evasion, fraud and conspiracy before receiving a full presidential pardon from Donald Trump in May 2025. In the first photos taken of Julie following her release, the matriarch, 52, shocked as she was seen sporting brown and gray locks instead of her usual coiffed blonde 'do. Days later, she returned to her signature style. Julie has since reflected on the paparazzi shots of her with her natural tresses and described the pictures as 'horrible' - while her husband, Todd, joked that he considered going back behind bars when he saw her new look. 'The way I flip that is, look at me now,' she said in the latest episode of the Chrisley Confessions 2.0 podcast. 'People think I look even better because that horrible picture was out there to begin with.' Husband Todd, 56, who has been married to Julie for a near three decades, responded: 'Listen, I will say, you set the bar low. You had to go nowhere but up.' 'That wasn't very nice,' she responded. Digging himself a hole, Todd continued: 'I'm just trying to be honest. I'm not gonna lie, I first saw you, when I got out of that car, I started thinking about going back [to prison]. 'But then I thought, let me embrace this.' Todd then went on to reveal that he had never seen Julie with her natural hair before. 'I mean it was a rough moment,' he added. 'It was a rough moment because I'd never seen you dark in my life.' Julie was forced to succumb to her brown locks during her stint behind bars at Kentucky's Federal Medical Center as she did not have regular access to a salon. 'When I went to prison, my hair was blonde but it had a lot of lowlights... before I self-surrendered,' she shared. 'Then, we actually had a girl that was there at the prison when I got there... she worked in the salon and she was really good and she did highlights for me. 'When I tell you they looked so good, it looked like I'd been to a salon on the outside.' The Chrisleys were found guilty in 2022 in Atlanta on the fraud and tax charges. Until May, they still had years left on their sentences: Julie was expected to be released in 2028, and Todd in 2032. Trump personally called the couple's daughter, Savannah, from the Oval Office to inform her of his bombshell pardon. 'It's a great thing because your parents are going to be free and clean,' he said on the call.

Tamzin Outhwaite opens up about co-parenting with ex-husband Tom Ellis after accusing him of 'infidelities and lies' during their nine-year marriage
Tamzin Outhwaite has opened up about her children's relationship with their father Tom Ellis, who she says is 'in and out of their lives'. The actress, 54, shares children Flo, 17, who she revealed is transgender, and Marnie, 12, with fellow actor Tom, 46, who is best known for starring on fantasy series Lucifer. The former couple married in 2006 but split in 2013 after he reportedly confessed to an affair with Australian actress Emilie de Ravin, best known for starring in Lost. Appearing on the Parenting Hell podcast, Tamzin was asked by co-host Josh Widdicombe: 'Didn't you separate from the kids' father about 10 years ago?' 'Yeah, it was literally when the kids were tiny,' she replied. 'Marnie was not even one.' 'That must've been tough,' fellow host Rob Beckett said. 'Yeah of course, but he lives in LA,' Tamzin said. 'So he's pretty in and out of their lives, but they have a lot of support and people that have been around.' MailOnline has contacted representatives of Tom Ellis for comment. In 2023, Tamzin claimed she was still uncovering 'more infidelities and lies that he committed' ten years on from their split. In a now deleted tweet, she wrote: 'Ten years since the father of my kids walked out on us for the final time. I still meet new people on jobs who reveal more infidelities and lies that he committed. 'But thankfully my heart and soul are clear and clean and I could not be happier right now.' Tamzin told her followers she marked the decade since her marriage broke down because she felt a 'feeling of triumph and pride' having made it through her heartache. She said: 'Thank you all for your messages re my now deleted tweet. I was marking the 10 year anniversary with pride, a feeling of triumph & genuine gratitude. 'I understand it has triggered some people. For anyone struggling, the most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself.' Tamzin had been introduced to Tom in 2005 by his old friend, the actor James McAvoy, who was appearing on stage with the actress. After nine years of marriage, they were granted a quick divorce in 2014 - leaving Tamzin heartbroken. He married screenwriter Meaghan Oppenheimer, who is the creator of Facebook Watch comedy Queen America, in 2019. Tamzin was in a six-year relationship with director Tom Child, however they have since broken up. However, she describes him as her 'best mate' and says he is regularly in and out of the house. Elsewhere during the podcast interview, Tamzin discussed her child Flo coming out as transgender when he was 'about 10 or 11'. 'I've got two kids. I did have two daughters and now I have a son and a daughter,' she said. 'That's quite easy for me to say now, but it wasn't maybe six or seven years ago.' 'The maddest thing is I suppose that it's not the most interesting thing about him,' she said. 'He's an incredibly funny intelligent boy, and I'm watching him grow into a wonderful human who's very talented. 'To see him thriving is just nothing but relief and joy for me really because there were some dark times.' Tamzin recalled the period when Flo first came out as trans, which she remembers as a 'very distressing time'. 'Until you're going through it yourself with your child, it's difficult to judge the situation,' she said. 'Initially, I would say, don't be ridiculous. I didn't say don't be ridiculous but my mind went, "that's ludicrous". 'Working back from that with talking, family therapy, therapy on Flo's side as well, talking with family and realising you're not alone. 'I think if you push back on a kid, they'll want to do the opposite of what their parent says. I didn't say "you can't be that", but it was a distressing time. We worked together as a family and with outside help.' Rob Beckett said: 'You can't do everything to make them happy. It's in them and there's other things at play. Having to let things take their course…' 'Yeah,' Tamzin responded. 'Time and action, but also being sensitive and, you know…. The whole LGBT community get a bit of a hard rap at the moment - it's quite tough, I think. It is a hot topic.' Josh said: 'it's almost like you've been in sync with that topic becoming a public debate,' referring to the prominent discussion of trans issues in the media. 'Kind of, yeah. Every situation is completely different, every child is different,' Tamzin said. 'It really is less than one per cent of the population. 'There's this big up in arms thing. It's not that common, just because…. But I'm just so happy for him.
