When a mum-to-be's partner suggested they name their baby Lanesra she was tickled pink with his unusual baby name suggestion.

Little did she realise it was all part of a ploy to get her to agree to name their daughter after his favourite football club - Arsenal.

It wasn't until Lanesra was two years old, that Clare Smith, from New South Wales, Australia, found out the truth.

Smith wrote to a magazine to share her discovery that her daughter's "unique and romantic" name was in fact an homage to her dad's favourite team, and a reader shared the story on Reddit.
