TikToker Madeleine White responds to backlash over her daughter Juliette’s middle name.
The daughter of Madeleine White is more adorable than a June bug. Additionally, the TikToker, who welcomed Juliette July Fedyk, her child with husband Andrew Fedyk, on June 1, does not want to hear any criticism regarding her child's nickname.
“‘Why would you name her July if she was born in June?’” Madeleine was made fun of in a TikTok on June 3. “‘Now she’s gonna be answering that question—oh, I was supposed to be born in July—’ Wrong. Sorry, wrong.”
“Come to the front everybody named April,” she added. “You born in April? Come to the front everybody named May.”

Madeleine continued by making a joke about actress January Jones, asking if anyone had looked up her birth certificate.
“Like God forbid you name a child something that has absolutely no relevance to when they were born,” she stated. “If she was born in December, she still would have had the name July.”
In reality, many quickly flooded Madeleine's comment section with explanations of how their names actually have no meaning.
"I was born in spring," remarked one user, Autumn; "My middle name is Joy, I'm yet to feel it," said another.
In reaction to the criticism, Madeleine cautioned supporters that there might be a lot more come.
“Y’all thought pregnant me had an attitude,” she wrote a caption for her photo. “Just wait for post partum with a baby in the NICU.”
Although Madeleine and Andrew can take Juliette home, she will spend some time in the neonatal critical care unit because she was born at just 33 weeks.
After Juliette was born, Madeleine talked about her labor experience in a video. Her diagnosis of preeclampsia and placental abruption hampered the process, necessitating an emergency cesarean section.
“I can tell you, it’s not that bad, you can do it,” in a TikTok posted on June 3 from her hospital bed, she informed her fans. “I was laying on that operating table just thinking to myself, ‘All my friends that have had emergency c-sections—if they can do it, I can do it.’”
She went on to say, “And any uncomfortableness is irrelevant the moment you see your baby. Like, I laid on the operating table over an hour after she was born, and I didn’t even notice because I was just watching her the whole time. It was the most magical, best experience of your whole life.”
To the point that every time she visits her, she is filled with emotion.
“She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” Madeleine came to a conclusion. “It’s so worth it.”
