My wife chose our son’s name & the inspiration makes me seriously uncomfortable – people think it’s grounds for divorce
A MAN has taken to Reddit to share his concerns over his wife's name choice for their son which makes him incredibly uncomfortable.
Some people online think that the inspiration for the baby's name is grounds for divorce in itself.
TikTok account @redditdoodle shared a story from Reddit of how a man's wife wants to name their child after her deceased husband
Apparently, the Reddit user's wife lost her husband James about eight years ago, and, at the time, she was pregnant with their baby girl.
Unfortunately, she miscarried the child soon after his death due to the stressful situation.
Now, the Reddit user and his wife are expecting their first son together, which she wants to name after her ex-husband James.
He makes his viewpoints clear that even though he thinks it's a nice name, he does not want to name their son after her ex.
According to the husband, she dropped the conversation and offered the name Oliver, which they both loved and agreed upon.
It was only three days later that he realized the origin of that name also was related to her ex-husband.
He shares in the Reddit post that one evening her family was over for dinner and he shared the name with her sister, who revealed that it was her ex-husband's middle name.

After they left, the Reddit user explained that he said to his wife "I've had it with her trying to push her ex into our lives like this."
She countered that the couple already agreed on the name Oliver, to which he proposed that he wouldn't sign the birth certificate if she names their son after her ex.
The man received not only pressure from his wife but also from her mother who expressed that it wasn't a big deal because it was only her ex-husband's middle name.
In the end, his wife's sister actually came to his defense and stated in opposition that it was weird to name their child after her sister's ex-husband in any scenario.
Many people offered their two cents on the topic with many siding with the current husband.
"Divorce her and marry her sister," one user commented.
"Leave, let the dead husband carry the name and the responsibilities if he can rise from his grave," another added.
"It's disrespectful to her new husband because it shows she is more Emotional attached to a dead man than her living husband," another voiced.
