A man consulted an online forum to voice his irritation at how his wife keeps offering outlandish baby names.
They’re Expecting Their First Child.
The couple are overjoyed to be first-time parents and recently found out they’re expecting a girl.
“We had an agreement that we wouldn’t talk about names until we knew the gender, so of course, on our way home from the gynecologist, we immediately started discussing.”
They Agreed on the ‘Power of Veto.’
The couple gave each other permission to veto names the other dislikes.
“I suggested my all-time favorite name, Anna. My wife suggested Caeleigh (pronounced Kailey, and yes, she spelled it out). I vetoed it.”
She Loves Stupid, Misspelled Names.
While his wife suggests perfectly acceptable names, she insists on misspelling them.
“She suggested another name, Ryleigh (Riley, and again, she did spell it out). I vetoed it and suggested Riley spell the normal way. She refused.”
Nope. Nope. Nope.
She then suggested Novalynn. He vetoed, suggesting Nora as an alternative. She again refused.
“This continued a few more times until she snapped at me, calling me unreasonable for vetoing all her picks.”
They Began to Quarrel.
This back-and-forth continued until his wife lost her temper.
“She said, ‘What’s the point in talking about it if you veto all my choices, you controlling man!’”
She Was Hurt.
He pointed out that he’d agree on some of the names if they were more “normal.”
“I responded, ‘Maybe if you picked something normal, we might get somewhere, but you won’t even try to compromise!’”
He’s Wondering if He’s in the Wrong.
The man took to an online community to ask if he was in the wrong for refusing these names.
The online forum voted that he wasn’t in the wrong.
Definitely Not.
Users agreed that the suggestions from his wife were stupid.
“You’re doing your daughter a favor by vetoing these names.”
These Types of Names Are a Burden.
“Mom may never see it this way, but maybe she can imagine being her kid and having to either explain how to pronounce or spell their name correctly over and over for their entire life. Substitute teachers, doctor’s appointments, as an adult meeting with new clients/staff/customers EVERY SINGLE TIME… that’s not a burden you should put on your child for a first name just because you think it makes the name cooler.”
Drug Name.
Online users were particularly unimpressed with ‘Novalynn’!
“Novalynn – for all your medical needs! Side effects may include the inability to spell or think of sensible names for your baby.”
Teacup Chihuahua.
One user pointed out that kids are a cruel species, and having a silly name opens the child up for taunting.
“Seriously – doesn’t she realize this is a human child who will have to make it through relentless teasing? Who will have to learn to spell her own name? She’s having a kid, not a teacup chihuahua.”
The Majority are in Agreement
The online community didn’t even have to think twice about who was being unreasonable in this situation.
