He Named His Baby The Same Name That His Ex-Girlfriend Wanted To Name Her Child, And Everyone In His Life Is Upset Now That They Know Where This Name Came From
A guy had a girlfriend named Natalie back when he was just 21-years-old. He admits that back then, he was a pretty terrible person and ended up cheating on Natalie.
To this day, he says he feels incredibly guilty and remorseful for doing what he did to Natalie, and in the aftermath of their breakup, they kept on sharing the same friends that they had.
As for him, he tied the knot with Kate, the girl he cheated on Natalie with. Natalie moved on, she’s really successful, and he feels happy for her.
“Natalie and I thought we were going to get married and had talked about kids’ names,” he explained.
“There was a girl’s name that was special to her. She was adamant to name her daughter it one day. It wasn’t anything crazy or unique, it’s a pretty common name. We also had a little joke surrounding it.”
Well, he and Kate got pregnant, and they began talking about what name they should pick out for their daughter.
Kate really did like a name that was pretty close to the one that Natalie was in love with and thinking back to that name, he told Kate about it.
As soon as he told Kate about Natalie’s baby name, Kate was clearly thrilled and thought the name was perfect.
He figured that Kate only liked the baby name at that moment and that she would end up going in another direction as she had with every other name she liked prior to that.

It turns out that he was wrong, and Kate decided to name their daughter the exact same baby name that was important to Natalie.
He was stunned when Kate settled on that exact name, but he stopped worrying about it so much and began thinking not of Natalie when he heard that name but of his daughter.
“It became easier until 3 months later (now) word got around through shared friends that I was further hurting Natalie,” he said.
“Once she heard I had a daughter and found out the name, she expressed to friends it was painful we chose that name because it was special to her, and this was just salt on that old wound.”
“Kate was livid I didn’t tell her. My friends are pissed and blaming both of us. And I feel just as guilty as I once did. At the same time, it’s a very common name!”
He’s left wondering if it was wrong of him to tell Kate about Natalie’s coveted baby name in the first place.
Do you think he should have told Kate where he got that name from before she went through with naming their daughter that?
