Sometimes it is okay to not be okay with everything your partner wants!

If your wife were pregnant and was in love with a particular name for your baby, would you go along with it even if you hated the name, or would you be honest with her?

This man shares that his wife wants to name their child after her deceased dog.

He really doesn’t like this idea.

Check out the full story.

WIBTA for refusing to name my child after my wife’s deceased dog?

I, 31M, am expecting my first kid with my wife of 2 years, 26F. We have been together for 3.5 years.

We met at a bar and instantly clicked.

This is where it gets tricky…

She has always wanted to be a mom and considers herself a ‘maternal’ person.

She is 6 months pregnant and it has been an easy pregnancy.

We both have relatively established jobs and make well above our means. We both have debt remaining from school, but we make our payments on time etc.

There’s an issue when it comes to picking a baby name.

All of this is to say that our relationship is stable and developed and there aren’t really any external problems.

Our families love each other, we have friends separate from each other, and everything is healthy.

We have one problem though.

She is absolutely dead set on naming our kid after her deceased dog from when she was a child.

The name isn’t a typical name.

I honestly think this is really strange.

We are having a girl and the name isn’t a ‘human’ name (in my opinion).

I don’t want to say exactly what it is but it’s pretty similar to Lucky. I feel uncomfortable about naming our daughter a dog name.

I don’t think that dogs lives are less valuable than human lives, however our daughter is going to have a life beyond us.

That sounds so weird!

I would be weirded out if I were named after a dog.

I don’t know how to approach this subject with my wife because she has wanted to name her future child after her childhood dog since she was a teenager.

WIBTA if I refused to name our kid after her dog?

I don’t want a blow up fight over this but I feel like this will affect our future child in the long term.

YIKES! That sounds creepy!

Why can’t they just get another dog and give it the same name instead of giving the name to their child?

Let’s find out what people on Reddit think about this one.

This user thinks it depends on what the name of the dog is.

This user agrees with this guy over the matter.

This user suggests putting the name of the dog as the middle name of the child.

This user thinks he needs to talk to his wife.

This user knows that both parents should have an equal say in naming the kids.

Someone’s being a little unreasonable here!
