Today, and for the past four months, my husband has been pushing the name Patrick for our baby. Not because he likes the name but because our last name is Star. FML

And this is when you revoke your husbands naming privileges, because the poor kid would be miserable.

The husband should have a say in the naming just as much as the mother tho...

Not if he's giving him a good name for a stupid reason.

#6 I think that when a parent is trying to give a child a name that will get them mocked and bullied until they are old enough to get their name changed, they forfeit their privilege to contribute to the naming process.

In this situation I'd say that the name Gary would be a good compromise.

I like the name "Patrick", but in combination with the last name, it is a bit unfortunate.

I'm sorry, but a name the exact same as a cartoon character, just for that sake… no, that kid's just gonna catch a ton of shit if he grows up with that name.

you have a unique opportunity and i think your husband is right

poor kid. atleast u wouldn't have to have high hopes and dreams for him

I have a buddy named Patrick Starr. Cool dude. Catches surprisingly little shit considering he's a 90's kid
