When you find out you are expecting, deciding on the baby's name is generally the first thing you start thinking about. Do you want something original, conventional, or in the middle?

Only you and your partner can select the ideal name for your child. Unquestionably, it is among the blissfully perplexing aspects of pregnancy.

It is quite personal to choose the appropriate name for the person you are bringing into the world. It is only natural to select the name that is at the top of your "list of favorite baby names."

It is also very normal for your family to ask you what name you are thinking about and to make a lot of recommendations. While having these discussions with your friends and family might be enjoyable, and you may be open to the early brainstorming sessions, the names that they suggest may not match your ideal choice.

People could feel a little let down if you don't truly agree with the name they've suggested, but for the OP of today's story, her husband gets anxious when discussing baby names. He claims he doesn't like the fact that the OP dislikes the baby names that he suggests.

Therefore, he decided that he wouldn't discuss baby names at all until the OP was pregnant. Read on to learn what caused the whole decision.

He's probably trying to wear the OP down until she accepts it

I don't care for the name and I'm not going to argue about it

Redditor MagicCarpet5846 writes saying:

I mean you just tell him, “I will not be getting pregnant until we have a baby name picked out. If you really are this stubborn, I will be going to get an implant in this week.

This is a hard boundary for me. I am not going to endanger my life with a stressful pregnancy because you’re too stubborn to compromise like an adult and I refuse to bring a child into the world with someone who thinks that’s acceptable behavior.”

The next daughter should be honored by someone important

This is certainly a giant red flag

His mother's name will not be included in future names

Is he not excited to have a baby?

What's a name worth? A lot, in fact... One of the most difficult aspects of being pregnant, aside from childbirth, may likely be naming your child.
