And the cherry on top?
She was pregnant with their baby, and both parents were overjoyed.
Until, of course, the name war began.
Nothing controversial, nothing wild.
But then came the new partner, who had a bone to pick with the name.
Because she once dated a toxic ex named Samantha.
Now, tragic as that may be, should that really give her naming right over someone elses child?
The OP didnt think so.
At this point, the OPs patience snapped like a rawspaghettinoodle.
I must say, Im with him on this one.
The ex-wife, while mildly annoyed at the OPs bluntness, ultimately agreed that he had the final say.
Lets call it what it really is:emotional manipulationin its finest form.
Because naming a baby is not a group project.
Until then, she might want to sit this one out and let the actualparentschoose their babys name.
Some parents go the sentimental route whennaming their babies, opting for names that honor beloved relatives.
Then there are the parents who treat naming like a high-stakes creative challenge.
What do you think of this story?
Was the dad right to tell his exs new partner she has no say in the baby naming process?
