Husband worried their son's name will lead to bullying, but wife disagreed.

Choosing a name for your child is a difficult task, especially for this couple who are now facing serious problems. The mum-to-be had agreed to name their first boy, but the dad is not happy with her choice: Neville.

The dad took to Reddit to vent his frustration: “Before my wife and I got married, we made an agreement that she would get to name our first boy, and I would get to name our first girl. I thought everything would be fine, but ever since I heard the name she chose, we’ve been having problems. The name is bad. It sounds really stupid, and it’s absolutely the kind of name that will get our son bullied.”

The chosen name is in fact a tribute to one of the mum-to-be’s favourite characters in a book she read growing up. Unfortunately, the dad does not believe this makes the name any better. The situation has deteriorated to the point that the wife is now threatening to give birth to their child without him.

The internet had a lot to say about the situation. Most people agreed that Neville is a perfectly fine name, with one user commenting: “It’s just Neville? That’s anti-climatic. It’s a classic, normal name.” Others labelled the dad “silly as hell” for agreeing to have “zero input” into the name of their child.

Most of the internet was in agreement that the couple should have come up with a name together, putting forwards a list of options they both like. This way, they can compromise and make sure their son’s name is something they both feel happy with.
