Woman Refuses to Name Baby After Late Father-in-Law After Husband Suggests His Ex's Name

NEED TO KNOW One woman says her husband has offered a couple of options for names for their baby: one, after his ex, and another, after his late father In a post shared to Reddit, she writes: "I'm not too enthusiastic about naming my baby after my father-in-law after figuring out that my husband is still thinking about his past" Now, she's taking to the internet to seek adviceA woman who is currently pregnant says her husband wants to name the child after his recently passed father — but she isn't interested. In a post published on Reddit, the woman writes that her husband's father passed away while she was pregnant — and he immediately added his name to the list of those they should consider for their child. "Before I knew the gender of our baby, he suggested that if it's a girl.... Baby should be named 'Ashley.' And I'm not too fond of commonly used names so it never sat right with me anyway, but turns out his ex's name was Ashley," she writes. "Turns out I'm having a baby boy and now all of my in-laws are depending on me to name my baby after my husband's recently deceased father (it's been like a month)," she continues. "Putting all emotions to the side.... I'm not too enthusiastic about naming my baby after my father-in-law after figuring out that my husband is still thinking about his past." "I kinda feel like I'm being selfish as well as he is being selfish..... But I feel extremely disrespected that he was going to dishonor our family by naming my baby after some random girl.
