Many empathised with the mum and said their husbands have also been guilty of choosing ridiculous monikers for their children.
"This was my husband. In all seriousness, he would suggest things like, "String! Just listen to it: s-t-r-i-n-g. Doesn't it sound nice?"
Another said the parents could use Turnip as a nickname until their daughter is born.
"Call her Turnip until she’s born! It’s a fun way to refer to the baby instead of just “baby” and it helps keep whatever name you land on a bit of a secret," they suggested.
Another laughed, "Turnip sounds like the name of a character that other characters bully in a picture book."
Another woman said her husband used to just point at objects and ask to name the child after them.
"I tried to discuss names for our son with him. He’d be like “How about ‘Blender’?” Or any other random object he was looking at. He just didn’t really care what we called him. Needless to say, I picked our kid’s name."
Sometimes it is best to just let them make suggestions and let it go in one ear and out the other.Explore more on these topics:
