Baby names can be very long, even agonizing decisions.

But sometimes, when you know, you know.

Even if you don’t know WHY you know, like with TikTok user @viashoe:

“My husband named our daughter after a batman character and didn’t tell me till she was 10 months old,” reads the caption, “and this is how I find out.”

She elaborated further in the description; “so my husband came up with the name Nora right when we found out she was a girl & I loved the name. He never said where he heard it, just that he thought it was a cool name. Every other name he had come up with had a movie reference or something dorky so I was happy we found a normal name we both loved. lol.”

“Flash forward & we have our daughter & when she is 10 months old (literally over a year since we named her) we are at his family’s house for thanksgiving & we sit down to watch a show “they watch every year” lol. Yeah no actually it was an episode of Batman Animated Series from the 90s that my husband has loved since he was a kid. The main villain is Mr. Freeze (literally my husband’s profile photo is mr. freeze on so many things I should have known) &&&& his beautiful sweet frozen wife… is Nora. lol honestly impressed he kept this so close to his chest 😆 I love my daughter’s name, I love my dorky husband (who “accidentally” proposed on national batman day too btw), but all future baby names will have a thorough background check…”

It may not be the name she needs, but it’s the one she deserves right now.
