The pregnant lady wrote to Reddit, in a forum titled "AITA," which stands for "Am I The A--hole." People gather here to share their tricky binds and to ask whether they're the unreasonable ones.
Her post is titled, "AITA For Not wanting to use bestfriends middle name for baby." This doesn't nearly provide enough context, so we'll dig a little deeper. Before we do, however, make sure to share your opinions by commenting under her post. She does want the advice.
The Reddit user explained that her best friend had passed away last year. In her friend's honor, she initially wanted to use her friend's middle name as the name for her baby, a boy. Although the middle name is not disclosed, it seems that it's a feminine name.
She then regretted the idea and wanted to save the name in case she later gets pregnant with a girl.
Sounds like a pretty harmless situation right? Well, she made the mistake of immediately telling the family of her late best friend.
And they loved the idea.
Mother-To-Be Doesn't Know How To Break The News To Late Friend's Family
This is where she wants the internet's help, and also wants to know if she's being unreasonable in changing the name considering how much is behind it.
She has confided in two of the friend's family members. An aunt in the family warned that this change may "really disappoint" the friend's sister. However, she's also brought it up with the sister, and she's fine with it. "I feel like you will regret this decision if you don't do it," is what the sister allegedly replied.
She is worried that she may never get pregnant with a girl and waste the name she promised to use in honor of her friend. However, you can't really take chances with names.
"I get that it's my baby I will name them what I want but I just feel like I should have never brought up the idea of the middle name but too late to go back now," she explains.
She doesn't want to let them down, and is worried that if she doesn't deliver the news correctly, then a big fight will come of it.
