People fume at 'narcissistic' man as mum-to-be reveals he has divisive choice for unborn child

'Why does the name of your daughter have to honour him?' someone asked

When it comes to having a baby, one of the things we daydream about the most is what we’ll name our bundle of joy.

Last year, we reported that some of the most popular baby names included Beth, Ella and Alessia… But it seems that not all parents want to go down the more traditional route.

An exasperated expectant mother has taken to Reddit’s very popular forum, Am I The A**hole (AITA), to offload her shock after her husband has tried to pressure her into giving their baby a truly terrible name.

The user said that naming a girl 'got murky'.

She wrote: "So, my husband (38M) and I (36F) are expecting our first child, a bouncing baby girl due in a few months.

"We were both over the moon when we found out the gender, but now things have gotten… complicated, to say the least.

"See, when we first started talking about names, the “boy name” was immediately decided: Stuart Jr., after my husband.

"No problem there, it’s a classic name and carries family meaning. But, for a girl, things got murky.

"My husband suggested Stuarta."

The father wants a name that 'honours' him.

Yes, you read that right. Stuarta.

The mum-to-be continued: "Apparently, his logic is that since Stuart ends in 't' we can just add an 'a' to make it feminine. I tried explaining why that doesn’t quite work, how it sounds more like a furniture brand than a human name.

"He’s adamant though, says it 'honours' him while giving our daughter a unique name."

The (understandably) very stressed woman explained that she is unwilling to budge on this and name her daughter Stuarta - and asked the Reddit community for advice.

She asked: “Am I the jerk for refusing to budge on Stuarta? Is there any compromise I haven’t considered? Help a soon-to-be mama out!”

The comments have since been flooded with people offering their own take.

One person wrote: “Why does the name of your daughter have to honour him? Narcissistic much?"

Another chimed in: “Girl, it is super simple. He gets to choose the name when he pushes out the baby.”

A third added: “I always believed that if you want your child to have their own personality, their own name is the best place to start.”

Another echoed: “Yeah, absurd. And to be perfectly blunt….ugly.”

Well, at least we’re all in agreement that Stuarta is… not a great name. Here's hoping they can agree on something they both like!
