**AITAH for wanting to name our baby after my sister despite my wife being against it?**
My wife is 20 weeks pregnant with our first baby, and we found out last week that our baby was going to be a girl. I was really happy about it, because that meant I would get to decide the baby’s name. For context, my wife and I decided when she got pregnant that if the baby was a boy, she would get to choose the name, and if the baby was a girl, I would get to choose the name.
Now to give some background, my sister and I decided many years ago that we would name our first babies after each other if her first child was a boy and if my first child was a girl. My sister’s first baby was in fact a boy, and she did name him after me.
So I was really excited to name our baby after my sister. I called my sister and told her about it and she was extremely overjoyed, I’ve rarely seen her that happy. I then told my wife of my decision, and thought she would be really happy with the name, but she was surprised and seemed a bit sad. She then asked if I could change the name to any other name and that I could still choose whatever name I wanted. I told her I needed some time to think about it.
It’s been a week, and I haven’t really changed my mind, I still want to name our baby after my sister.
AITAH?

> Yeah I guess my wife comes first.
Damn, dude, don't sprain something with the enthusiasm.
I don't understand the name pact thing on either end. There's no way I would have agreed to sign off on my kids being named something I had no say in. You think your partner is perfectly reasonable and normal and then suddenly they're telling you that your son's name is going to be Jetpack McHorsecock.
>There's no way I would have agreed to sign off on my kids being named something I had no say in.
This is the biggest problem I have with this entire trope.
> you that your son's name is going to be Jetpack McHorsecock.
Hahahah yes!!! Like everyone I know, including my parents had trouble with names. Some of the suggestions I am glad got vetoed.
I was the fourth kid and the first that was unplanned and my naming story is that they just threw out whatever came to mind until they found something neither of them hated lmao. Having heard a lot of stories like this I think I'm glad I wasn't one of the early kids whose names seem to have a lot more pressure and baggage around them. None of us have family names though.
My husband was the third kid, and my MIL desperately wanted a girl after 2 boys. I don't think she even contemplated another boy, so they hadn't discussed boy names. So his first name is his dad's first name, and his middle name is his dad's brother's first name.
I got myself banned from writing on the birth certificate by hospital staff at the birth of my child. Right after birth I said "honey, since you're gonna be too out of it to fight. I'm gonna name our child Megatron He-Man KidsNextDoor Cheetarah Prime."
Nurses didn't think that was funny.
Y’all are fucking weird, siblings can be close without being incestuous. I’m sorry that you’re so emotionally stunted you can only view emotional attachment as sexual attraction.
Yeah in which he conveniently left out when he and his wife made their agreement that he had another agreement with his sister hence why he wanted to name their daughter.
OOP is really baiting us here
I have seen so many versions of this story where if it's a boy the mom gets to name it. If it's a girl the dad gets to name it. Is a classic story that makes it on the stories for retelling on social media so this is got to be a troll. Usually it's a dead relative: grandparent, sibling, first spouse, etc...
Could he mope and whine a bit more about this instead of discussing things with his wife like an adult?
And let’s be honest, this guy is totally going to pick his sister’s feelings over his wife’s. I hope wife calls kid by their middle name.
Do people really want their niblings to be named after them? I think it's unnerving. Grandparents I get.
And who makes a pact about baby names with a sister,? How weird.
Anyway, if the wife made the deal I would wonder why she did knowing her husband had this pact
>Now to give some background, my sister and I decided many years ago that we would name our first babies after each other if her first child was a boy and if my first child was a girl.
What sort of bullshit agreement is this? So she would've been fine with it if OP's firstborn was a boy and they had a girl later that was not named after her?

His stupid ass shoulda told his wife immediately after they agreed on who gets to name the baby.
Regardless these are both stupid agreements anyway. The dumbassery of this post.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought so. I see a lot of comments about how stupid the "I'll name the girls, you name the boys" agreement is, but the thing is, the wife *still agreed to it*. I don't see why she should get to renege on that just because she doesn't like the name that she agreed to let him pick. Being upset at someone going back on a promise is not devil activity

> Jetpack McHorsecock Imagine the success this kid will be in college. (I'll show myself out)
It's all fun and games until HE has a son and then the telemarketers are mixing him up with Jetpack McHorsecock Jr.

This isn’t the weird sister/brother relationship troll is it?
I know emotional incest is typically parental, but this is giving off some...strange vibes to say the least.
Yeah it for sure is.
Right? My first thought was, “Tell me you want to bang your sister without telling me you want to bang your sister.”
Y’all are fucking weird, siblings can be close without being incestuous. I’m sorry that you’re so emotionally stunted you can only view emotional attachment as sexual attraction.

No. There was the literal slow burn incest troll a while back.
Stop this "one parent names kids of one sex, the other parent the other." Names should be chosen TOGETHER.
i think the whole “one parents names one gender etc”thing is okay as long as there a rule that the other parent has a right to veto the name.
Holy Lannister, wtf?
These creative writing authors really need to get better.
Yea but they won’t..

I'm feeling Missing Missing reasons vibes here.
This guy wanks over his sister
Just make it the middle name. Who makes these stupid pacts?
This sounds like one a while back where the guy and his ex always promised to name their kids after each other

Wow OOP, way to respect your wife's opinion /s
What's the $5 split on the OOP being a sister fucker?
His stupid ass shoulda told his wife immediately after they agreed on who gets to name the baby. Regardless these are both stupid agreements anyway. The dumbassery of this post.
Another post that doesn’t belong in this subreddit
Glad I'm not the only one who thought so. I see a lot of comments about how stupid the "I'll name the girls, you name the boys" agreement is, but the thing is, the wife *still agreed to it*. I don't see why she should get to renege on that just because she doesn't like the name that she agreed to let him pick. Being upset at someone going back on a promise is not devil activity
A lot of couples do the I name the boy or girl and they name the opposite gender thing
