A mother who named her daughter Harlotte was horrified to discover the hidden meaning behind the name. The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said she chose the name because it sounded unique and feminine.
However, she later learned that Harlotte is also the name of an Australian cosmetics company, which produces a range of liquid lipsticks used on the reality TV show The Bachelor. The brand's products include shades with suggestive names like 'Floozy Susie' and 'Has Been Doreen'.
The mother expressed her dismay, stating she had no idea about the brand association and felt the name now carried connotations she did not intend for her child.
Harlotte Cosmetics was founded by Sydney makeup artist Michelle Crofts, who initially built the brand around a smoky eyes and nude lip look. The company has since expanded to offer a full line of products.
