Guy Decides To Choose His Late Father's Name For Newborn Without Knowing Wife's Ex Shares The Same Name
Redditor (OP), under the username u/stopjustinbeiber, recently shared a story on the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit to ask the online community for their opinions, as he didn't know whether he was wrong.
In the post, he detailed that he and his wife were all set to welcome their baby boy after six years of marriage. However, the excitement turned into a naming dilemma. They decided to wait until after the birth, but suddenly his wife had to get an emergency C-section.
Amidst the stress of the unplanned surgery, the OP picked his late father's name, Francis, for the paperwork without telling his wife about this idea. After the labor, his wife got angry, and a heated argument ensued.
Curious about the reason why the wife didn't like that name and got furious? Keep reading for more details!
