Wife Insists On A Gender Neutral Name For Upcoming Baby Girl, Threatens To Exclude Husband From Choosing The Baby's Name
On the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, a man shared that he recently found himself in a tough situation where he and his girlfriend disagreed about picking the name for their baby girl.
The husband likes classic names such as Juliet, Orion, Violet, Scarlet, and Dakota, while the wife prefers modern, gender-neutral options like Hunter, Scout, Payton, Rory, Morgan, and Kai.
Things took an unexpected turn when the wife considered leaving the husband out of the decision entirely. She even talked about telling the hospital staff not to ask him about the baby's name on the birth certificate.
Seeking advice online, the husband asks if he's wrong for wanting a more traditional name. He also asks readers to be understanding and avoid making hurtful comments.
