A pregnant woman is upset after she shared the name she chose for her daughter, only for her family to mock it mercilessly. Agreeing on a name for a child can be tricky - after all, it has to suit an adorable little baby and grow with them into adulthood. Finally finding one both parents agree on can bring intense relief - but the drama doesn’t always end there.
Many parents-to-be keep their choice a secret until the baby has been born - that way, relatives and friends are less likely to pass judgement on their choice. If a parent opts for something controversial, then it can be understandable when well-meaning family members offer words of wisdom or advice.
This isn’t the situation for one couple, though. They agreed on a traditional name for their daughter and had assumed their family would be in support of it. Unfortunately, the opposite has proved to be true. Sharing her frustration in a Reddit post titled “My family won’t stop making fun of my baby name," the woman explained: “I told my family I’m naming my baby girl Melanie, and they all immediately started making fun of it.
