A WOMAN has revealed that she has chosen a baby name but everyone hates it. The anonymous woman explained that she ‘absolutely loves’ the name, but every single member of her family, as well as her friends, aren’t keen. Clearly unsure on what to do, the woman took to social media to share her dilemma, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on Reddit, on the BabyNamesHelp thread, under the username @anotherrandomerrr, the woman shared: “Everyone hates my baby name!” She then wrote: “I have one favourite baby name that I absolutely love; however, all of my family and friends hate it.” The social media user revealed the name she has chosen for her future son - Forrest. But whilst she thinks it’s ‘beautiful’, she shared that people have already begun to make Forrest Gump jokes.
Not only this, but she claimed that people have even gone as far to suggest that her son, who would have the same name as the film character Forrest, who has a crooked spine and was forced to wear leg braces, will end up with a disability. She added: “Obviously I’m getting the usual Forrest Gump jokes but some people have even gone as far as to say that my baby will end up with a limp or mental disabilities.” But the woman explained that she thinks the name, which wasn’t inspired by the 1994 comedy romance film, is ‘perfect’ for her child.
