Mom-to-be reveals ‘meaningful’ name choice for her twin girls & everyone’s dislikes them for the same reason

A MOM-TO-BE has revealed the “meaningful” names she wants to give her twin daughters – but she says her husband doesn’t like them.

While she may have been hoping to get some support on Reddit, commenters are mostly on the husband’s side, with one going so far as to call her name choices “awful.”

Reddit user SunnyD507 shared the reasoning behind her name choice, and why she has been tasked with picking her twins’ monikers.

“I am a sucker for meaningful names and he is not,” she explained.

“Since they are getting his last name, he has resigned to allow me to name them, but the only names I want to use, he strongly dislikes.”

Sunny admitted that her bubble was “popped” by her husband’s reaction.

For Sunny, “meaningful” means a reference to her favorite TV show, Dr. Who – “for which I will not apologize,” she said.

“The names I like are Rory and Roman (Romy),” she revealed. “I love that they’re androgynous.”

But her husband insists they are both “boy names,” especially Roman, and hates that they’re “matchy,” and thinks they sound “clunky.”

He also “isn’t the biggest fan of them being a reference.”

Sunny said she feels “set on” the names, particularly because they haven’t had an idea she likes more.

“I was open to being convinced otherwise, but so far, nothing has come up. I don’t want anything common, or anyone we’ve ever known,” she said.

But she insisted she isn’t trying to close her husband out of the process, writing: “I don’t want him to hate his kids’ names.”

Commenters have been overwhelmingly in agreement with Sunny’s husband.

“Children are not billboards for your fandoms. Also I’m 100% with your husband,” wrote one.

“People, especially kids, always ask about the story behind names/how they were picked/what they mean. It WILL come up and this mom WILL talk about it. I’d be mortified if I was one of the twins,” wrote another.

“I’m with your husband, they’re both very masculine names, and they’re awfully matchy,” said another.

“As a Doctor Who fan and huge nerd: Those are awful. Don’t subject your kids to that. Rory is ok, Roman is awful. Ramona is much better,” commented a third.

Some said they actually didn’t mind naming kids after a fandom, though suggested the mom pick names from Dr. Who that are more common.

Ideas included River, Melody, Clara, Martha, Jodie, Billie, Harriet, Piper, Leela, Romana, Thalia, Rani, and Jackie.
