She hates the name ‘Chad’ as they know a couple of Chads and they are not nice people, thus the woman hoped she would have a girl

Community members supported the woman but questioned why she is even in a relationship with such a person. “You’re not overreacting. This is not a frivolous thing and I agree with others, you need to get away from him, because it will not stop with your child’s name,” one user wrote. “Have his name legally changed. Leave your husband. This is abuse,” another added.

She added that often couples get into a nonproductive situation where one partner is researching and suggesting names and the other person just vetoes. “It’s important for both parents to come to the table with a list of names so you can brainstorm equally,” Jennifer emphasized.
We also were interested about specific name trends or fads that she has observed tend to generate more disagreements among parents – “I think the fad of taking a common name and giving it a “creative” spelling has created a lot of debate – not only among parents but on the internet in general,” she noted.
“Kimberly being spelled Kymberleigh, for example,” Jennifer pointed out that it’s their opinion that parents shouldn’t make their child’s name in the manner of “will they have to spell it for people their entire lives?”
