Fed up with her pregnant friend constantly badgering her to reveal the baby names on her list, an expecting mum decided to have a little fun. But she had no idea just how far it would go.
The mum-to-be, who is 29-weeks pregnant, explained that her good friend, Roxy, was also pregnant, and was searching for the perfect baby name for her daughter.
“Roxy married my husband’s cousin, and our kids will share their last name. Being friends, Roxy and I compared notes, but she also kept asking what I’d go with name-wise,” the expecting mum explained on reddit.
“I told her she’ll find out when my baby comes. Once I found out I’m having a boy, she got more incessant about what girl name I’d picked, saying, ‘It’s not like it matters now,’ as if I won’t have another kid. I got annoyed and asked my husband if I’d be wrong to just give a fake name to shut her up.
“He suggested ‘Mierda’ which is Spanish for ‘shit’. I said that to Roxy when she asked me for the ninth time. No exaggeration, that’s how many times I remember her asking. It may have been more.”
When it came time for Roxy to have her baby girl, she decided she loved the name so much, she would give it to her own daughter – effectively ‘stealing’ the name from her friend.
“They went with that name, but guess what? Their OB/GYN speaks Spanish, and informed them exactly what that name was. My husband’s cousin called – yes, CALLED – me to cuss me out, saying I am a ‘heartless b****” for embarrassing him and Roxy’ and ruining what should’ve been the greatest moment of joy in their lives.
“I didn’t think of that angle and realised I wouldn’t like it if someone did that to me, so Am I the a**hole?”
“I wasn’t trying to be petty, I just wanted Roxy to stop annoying me. I thought she’d look it up and laugh at the joke and not actually name her kid that! We’re not talking right now. I’m gonna wait til she reaches out and that may be a loooooong time. My husband told me that if they try to yell at me again to hand the phone to him, since it was ‘his shitty idea’ and he’ll clean up the mess. He didn’t expect them to use it, either.”
