“She wants to name our soon -to -be -child after her daughter (the male version of her daughter’s name),” wrote her boyfriend. “I dislike the name because it excludes my children. She said that the child will have my last name therefore my children and I should not feel excluded.”

Without sharing the exact names of Reddit to protect their identity, the man said that the “matchy-matchy” names would resemble “Victor” and “Victoria.”

“I hate the idea of ​​matching names like that, but what I hate most is that my partner just thinks about herself and her daughter,” he said.

Although he negotiated a middle ground, he explained that she will not disappoint.

“She is unwilling to compromise with alternative names that would make everyone happy,” he added. “I suggested that we use the name as the child’s middle name but it is not good enough for her. I also suggested that the child should take her last name. It is not good enough.”

“My mother called my brother (6 years younger) the masculine form of my name. He never felt he had his own name,” answered a person. “Our choice of nicknames was limited – he was called a nickname that I probably would have used but could not. Please tell (her) that every child would have his own name.”

Another Redditor criticized the couple’s communication ability.

“Between your combined (failed) relationships have none of you learned about communication and compromise?” That person wrote. “Both of you will be back on the market soon enough. Still nothing taught, just add children to your relationship history as long as you are fertile.”
