An upset mum who called her kids Binky and Bart has hit back at cruel trolls.

Lauren Hair has been told her children will never get jobs because of their unusual names and their CVs would get binned.

She settled on Bart for her three-year-old son and Binky for her six-month-old daughter.

But she says the backlash from the monikers has been “insane”.

Binky’s name was inspired by a Made in Chelsea cast member after Lauren’s partner met her on a day out in London.

Alexandra Felstead is known by her nickname Binky on the show.

Lauren says the 34-year-old reality TV star was “lovely” and she wanted to name their daughter after someone nice.

The dance teacher chose Bart after she spotted a bus going to St Bartholomew’s Cathedral in London.

Trolls branded her “selfish” for choosing such unique names and claimed that she was subjecting the tots to a lifetime of bullying.

“The comments have been insane, people say their CVs will get thrown in the bin,” Lauren, of Inverclyde, near Glasgow, Scotland, told What’s the Jam.

“Those people shouldn’t be in a role of importance but hopefully those people will be retired by the time Bart and Binky are looking for jobs.

“People were saying they’ll be bullied but no wonder if these people are parents, this is where children learn it from.

“They were saying Binky is good for a baby but not an adult. I think granny Binky sounds cute.”

The dance teacher said even friends and family asked her to reconsider the name Binky before she was born.

“I’ve taught girls with every name under the sun.

“If you know people with a name, you associate that name with that person. We really wanted to name her after someone nice.

“My partner met Binky from Made in Chelsea when he was working in London.

“She was lovely and a really nice person.

“Even the nurse asked if we were sure about the name when she was born.

“When I mentioned the name to my family they asked if I was sure because it is an unusual name but when she was born I knew she was a Binky.

“She is her name. It suits her so much.”

Lauren says her own name is “common” and she wanted to try something unique for her own children.

She added: “My name is so common. There were five Laurens in my school.

“I’d rather have a unique name but everyone is different.

“The people making the comments don’t have their own name or picture so they’re hiding behind the internet.

“It has made me love the name even more.”
