According to Abbie, she began looking for a nickname for the baby after she noticed that people didn't like the name Poppy.

She said she decided to start calling the baby Poot because she thought it was 'cute' - but the moniker caused quite the stir with her followers.

However, she seems unbothered by the firestorm of negative comments that she has received over the name, and she recently posted a video of herself responding to the people who are not a fan of it.

In the clip, which quickly went viral - gaining more than six million views in just three days - she stared into the camera with an annoyed look on her face, as some of the nasty messages flashed across the screen.
