Names carry a lot of meaning and can impact a child’s future. A recent Reddit story shows a couple’s argument over a baby name causing family tension. Read on to see the drama unfold and decide whose side you’re on.
1. AITA for telling my wife I don’t believe her when she says she’d be okay with us calling our daughter by different names?
AITA for doubting my wife when she claims she’d be fine if we called our daughter different names? It just seems like a recipe for confusion and frustration!
2. My taste is a bit more mixed but I like more uncommon names
Names that aren’t super used or classic, but I have some classics I like.
My taste in names is a mix: I love unique, uncommon names, but there are a few classic ones I like too. Finding the perfect balance is tricky
3. This OP listen to people. Don’t let this poor child suffer because her parents were both stubborn
ESH
Hey OP, listen up! Don’t let your stubbornness make your child suffer. You both need to compromise and find a name you can agree on. ESH (Everyone Sucks Here).
4. Yeah, I’m with the wife. His names all sound like nicknames
I’m siding with the wife here. The names he likes all sound like nicknames and might not suit every stage of life. A real name should grow with the child.
5. Sorry, but your name suggestions sound like names on My Little Pony characters
No offense, but your name suggestions remind me of My Little Pony characters. Maybe try for something that doesn’t sound like it belongs in a magical cartoon world?
6. She’d call her Elizabeth and I’d call her Indie
She wants to call her Elizabeth, and I’d call her Indie. How will our daughter cope with two completely different names? This could get confusing real fast.
7. My taste is a bit more mixed but I like more uncommon names
8. Our issue comes from a difference in likes and dislikes in names.
My wife likes very common, very classic names and she likes to go a touch old-fashioned too
Our name disagreement stems from our tastes: she loves very common, classic, and slightly old-fashioned names, while I lean toward the more unique and modern.
9. I feel like she refuses to try and find names closer to what I like
I feel like she’s not even trying to find names that are closer to my preferences. It’s frustrating when it feels like my input isn’t being considered.
10. Sorry, but your name suggestions sound like names on My Little Pony characters
Sorry, but the names you’re suggesting sound like they belong in My Little Pony. Maybe we should aim for something that our child won’t outgrow by kindergarten?
