When His Wife Told Him About All The Weird Names She Picked Out For Their Baby, He Retorted That They’re Not Trying To Name A Dog, And She’s Setting Their Child Up To Get Bullied
This man and his wife are currently expecting their first child and their baby will be here in a few short months.
He and his wife have decided to wait until their baby arrives to find out the baby’s gender. Everything is beginning to feel quite “real” to him now that their baby will be here soon.
So, he and his wife have really been trying to figure out a few names for their baby that they love.
Unfortunately, their tastes in baby names could not be more different. This is making it hard on them to pick a name they both agree on.
“My wife likes names that are out there and unique, but I find these names tacky and silly and would prefer a better-known, more traditional name,” he explained.
Yesterday evening, his wife gave him a list of baby names she adores, and she thought he might enjoy them too.
The girl names his wife included on the list were Kinley, Faun, Brixtyn, Fennix, Rhodes, and Fern.
The boy names his wife picked out were Phoenix, Spark, Fox, Diesel, Buck, and Quincy.
“These names are tamer than what she’s suggested before, but I told her they didn’t feel right,” he said.

“I suggested ideas like Rose instead of Rhodes, Felix instead of Phoenix, and Buchanan instead of Buck. I finally snapped when she suggested Zoomer. I asked if she was serious and said it was a stupid name.”
“She asked what my problem was and why I was so dismissive of all her ideas and shooting down all the names she likes. I told her we were naming a child and not a dog and that names can have a huge impact on the child.”
He pointed out to his wife that if she gave their child a weird name, she would only be setting them up to be bullied or not taken seriously in life.
His wife responded that he was being rude and bullying her by making her feel not supported in the baby-naming process.
His wife then burst into tears and went to bed. He waited until she was asleep to go to bed too.
“I feel bad about coming at her the way I did, but I also feel it needed to be said,” he concluded.
He’s left wondering if it was mean of him to let his wife know the truth about her baby names. What do you think?
