baby

Some baby names are far worse than others. You might've encountered a baby name out in the wild that left you mystified, troubled, helplessly confused. It's as if the parents had a terrible lapse in judgement, and for whatever reason decided to curse their poor kid with a name that would go on to haunt them into their later years. Hopefully none of these ring a bell. For a similar AskReddit thread check out some dumb baby names that parents (somehow) had to be talked out of. 

Bring a new little human being into this world is easily one of the most profound and difficult experiences that someone can experience in their lives. With the experience of raising a baby comes regular, delirious phases of pure sleep deprivation, and overwhelming exhaustion. Of course, all the struggles and pain can be offset by those humbling moments of beauty that a parent can witness as they watch their baby familiarize itself with this strange world. But, with all that being said, the parenting process can get to some folks more than others. And some people like to vent on places like social media to destress themselves. It sounds like this dad's decision to do that social media venting wasn't exactly met with approval. 

For some reason, when people get a particularly stupid name in their head, it's a really hard time for the people around them to convince them that no, maybe "Tylenol van Halen" is a bad name for a baby, you stupid idiot. Some of these people weren't even convinced effectively, and still ended up naming their kid "Hot Wheels" or whatever. This kind of crap happens all the time, like this boyfriend who wanted to name his baby after a character from Twilight.

Karen's out for blood after her own kids drew all over her walls. Given a completely reasonable option, she chose to not listen and hound this building supervisor on vacation. That choice netted her nothing but the toddler. For some more outrageous Karen-ness, here's a bridezilla Karen who ended up looking like a Pauper at her own wedding and some more unfortunate times people went full Karen.

Um, so it's not like someone is able to have ownership over a name. Especially considering the context of this situation, and the fact that the woman's friend hasn't even had her next baby yet, and is unsure if that baby's going to be a girl or not. But no, instead she insists on making a whole drama out of something that seems like it never should've been a drama in the first place.

Man, oh man, it sounds like this uncomfortable situation is the manifestation of the guy's fiancée clearly not being over her ex. Maybe they rushed into things as well, in terms of having a baby after dating for eight months. That being said, the folks in the comments section seem to be in collective agreement that this new dad wasn't in the wrong for his decision to leave the delivery room. 

Back in the good old days, you could get a random text about a newborn baby and just decide to go support the mom and laugh over the wholesome randomness of it all. Wrong number text exchanges have the tendency to get weird and hilarious, and sometimes an encounter with a total stranger just has some magic in it.

This woman asked people on Reddit whether she was wrong for saying a baby's name would result in the poor kid being bullied in life. Folks in the comments section seem to be expressing the opinion that she wasn't in the wrong for sharing her well intentioned thoughts on the matter. You be the judge. 

A name can be a pretty important thing. It's your first introduction to someone and people with overly obstructive names sometimes want to change them. That's why there can be excessive drama over what someone wants to name their kid, and fears over if it will lead to them getting bullied. In this case a not great father covertly named a baby without permission, and years later it came back to haunt him.

This guy asked people on Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for wanting to wait to have a baby with his wife, until she addressed her obsessive cleaning habits. Some folks in the replies section are suggesting that the process of having a baby would only elevate what could be an existent high anxiety level, for her. Maybe a little time could help. Who knows? 

In a noble move, this guy's pregnant wife wants to name their child after her grandfather. The problem is, that kid's name would end up being John Doe. The internet found that burdening your kid with the name they give to unidentified bodies sounds like a bad idea. Here are some other horrible names people have encountered.

When this woman decided that she wasn't up for her holding her co-worker's baby, and made that known, she proceeded to get shunned by a very critical rest of the office. Was she in the wrong for not wanting to hold the beautiful baby, or was it really just a simple scenario of her exercising her free will? I mean, come on. 

Being forced into a situation where he's expected to take care of and spend money on a baby two levels removed from him, this guy wonders if he's an asshole for totally removing himself with the situation. Some people like kids and go the extra mile to help out other folks, other people don't like kids and are within their rights to not have to deal with ones that just fell into their lives. Sometimes people choose to ask the internet whether or not they're being a jerk in their given situation.

Sounds like a bad deal. Hopefully the guy's son leaves his sister alone. Anyway, this dude asked the internet what to do, and they swiftly passed their judgement. Maybe if he loses this round, they can have another kid and as revenge he can name it Hodor. People always have some family drama, like this guy who asked if he was a jerk for disowning his sister for marrying his bully.

When this guy got looped into a baby birthing that he wasn't a part of, he still went down to see the new baby. Because why not? It makes you feel good to see random strangers making connections, especially with good humor involved, like this understanding customer who got a messed up pizza order.
