The mother-to-be surely did not expect her husband to react this way to the announcement of the first name she had chosen… So she preferred to leave!
The choice of first name… a great subject that never ceases to fascinate the crowds! Because after all, when a child is born, the first thing you want to know is how the baby and its mother are doing, and the second is the baby’s first name. And we’re not going to lie to each other, either we love it or we hate it and no one is embarrassed to give their opinion, in front of the new parents or more discreetly, let’s say. Whether original or classic, unknown or symbolic, the choice of the first name is subjective, and it can create conflicts with loved ones or even between the two parents!
Unfortunately this is what happened to a couple, as they were expecting their first child, the future dad let his wife choose the first name and not everything went as planned. In his message posted on the Reddit forum, he explains how they came to separate for a first name. Well, not just any: “Bartholomew” or “Barthélemy” in a more classic spelling…

A symbolic first name for her
The man had preferred to let his wife choose the first name but as soon as he discovered it, he immediately regretted it. He tells : “Yesterday we were in bed together, talking about our baby. All of a sudden, she jumped up with a huge smile on her face. She told me to stay on the bed because she had a surprise for me. She went into our closet and grabbed a box. She handed it to me with the same big smile on her face. It was obvious she was excited to see me open it. She kept telling me ” open it, open it! “I opened it and inside was a blue jumpsuit with the name “bartholomew”” Very quickly, the man asked his wife what this word represented and still as excited, she replied: “Surprise !! That will be his first name.” And he started laughing…
His very upset wife explained to him that it was his grandfather’s first name and that she was very close to him before his death. He couldn’t help but tell her that this first name was “outdated”. When she started crying, the man realized he had done wrong but it was too late, she was angry with him and didn’t talk to him anymore. After that, she left home and lives with her mother… Her spouse has no more news of her! The future dad is distraught and has asked forum members for advice.
