A woman who chose her best friend as her child’s godmother had created a big fuss over a name that she and her husband were planning to keep for their baby boy. The name happened to be Alan and since the day she heard from the parents about calling their baby by that name, she has been troublesome because it seemed that the name was same as her ex’s. And for her, calling her godson by that name would certainly be unpleasing and an untimely reminder of him.

Well clearly, she was unaware of the fact that it was the parent’s decision whether to go ahead with the name or not and even if she was the godmother or had her own reasons to be filled with abhorrence for the name, still she had no rights of intervening in their personal matter just because it reminded her of someone else who apparently was not even in her life anymore. And after rejecting the name she chose to stay out of touch with the parents, blaming them to be insensitive towards her, in front of their other friends.

The couple already had a two-year-old son and were expecting another baby boy. For them, Alan was the best-suited option. Not just because one liked it and another agreed but because both had some sort of memory attached with the name. The woman mentioned that Alan happened to be the name of her husband’s teacher who had previously motivated and inspired him to be a teacher like him. The second reason was that Alan was the name of a character in a book that she used to adore the most.

So being in a dilemma like this, she had to know whether she was going right with her choice of proceeding ahead with the name despite of her best friend opposing it, or was she completely wrong in here. So, for this, she shared her situation on a social media platform to know people’s viewpoints on such a thing. Undoubtedly many of them blamed the godmother for being a self-absorbed person at such a happy time by further making it problematic for the couple.

Her opposition would have certainly made more sense if she would have recently broken up with her ex. But that happened about 10 years back where neither of the two cheated on each other but things ended up just because she had formed an aversion towards him. So, her cribbing on such an irrelevant thing was definitely going to get knocked off by everyone later. All we can hope is that she soon realizes that she’s been fighting over a trivial issue all this while and makes up to her best friend and accepts her decision by being a happy godmother.
