The anonymous woman, 24 and her husband, 23 are expecting their first child in the coming months. They will be welcoming a baby boy and she desired to name him “Gaylord” and “Gale” (nickname) as it is a part of an old tradition to keep the first baby’s name on the side of mother’s family. However, the mum-to-be was slammed by her husband’s family for her plans to name her son according to the family tradition that was established in her family from the 1800’s. A year ago she asked her husband’s opinion about naming their first child according to the custom. At that time, her husband agreed to the fact of naming their first child as ‘Gaylord’.

To her surprise, her hubby dropped a bombshell only a few months before her due-date. He informed her about his disliking for the child’s name and also that he only wanted to have daughters with her to avoid it. Moving on, the expectant mum learnt of her mother-in-law’s devious plan to prevent her from giving birth to a baby boy that nearly ended her marriage. Her husband’s mother was pressuring him from some time to stop her from having a baby boy. She assumed that if her mother had only daughter then she would only be able to have female children, forcing their name to skip another generation.

Not only this, she discovered his mother’s bizarre scheme to ensure only the birth of female children as she fed him some woo-woo nonsense. She instructed him about how to time intercourse, which crystals to put beside their bed, what food to feed her and to even keep the house warm to make it impossible for her to have a boy.Initially, her hubby liked the name but after this he was not even ready for a nick name of using it as a middle name. Furthermore, she added that she was feeling pushed into this marriage and pregnancy and would not had chosen it if he honestly told his intensions. Her marriage was based on a very big lie that her husband concealed from her.

Her father assured her that the law gave her the right to do so. However, she told him that her hubby was OK with name but it was his mother’s pressure that made him feel torn between us. He was trapped under her feet and now she felt sorry for him. After posting the matter on Reddit, the users slammed her for forcing an old-fashioned name on her child which he would be surely changing after he turns 18. Many users also commented on her self-centered approach oh naming the child and the pointless argument on the nickname.
