CITIZENS COMPASS—A 35-year-old man has allegedly named his newborn baby after his female boss.
The man’s wife is currently contemplating divorce as a result of his action.
The 31-year-old woman has taken to social media seeking advice.
According to her, both she and her 35-year-old spouse had agreed to name the baby after her late grandfather. But she was shocked when the birth certificate arrived and carried a completely different name.
“I thought we had decided on the name the day of his birth, but apparently my husband changed his mind,” she wrote in a post on Reddit. “The name we were going for originally is also the name of my veteran grandfather, who passed away a couple of years back.”
She later discovered that the baby had been registered with her husband’s boss’s surname instead. “I found out my husband didn’t actually register the name we had both discussed and agreed on,” she said. “The name registered on the birth certificate is the last name of his boss, who is also a woman.”
At first, she assumed the hospital had made an error, but the documents revealed that her husband had indeed filled out the forms. “Yesterday evening, when my husband came home from work, I asked him what he named our child in a passive-aggressive way, and he responded with the original name we decided on,” she explained. “I then asked why it said The Name on the package, and he said he didn’t know.”
After confronting him, she called the hospital to confirm. Staff told her her husband had been the one who completed the registration. “Finally got him to admit it, but he didn’t give a good reason to why he decided to name our child after his BOSS, who was accused of fraud in the company instead of the name that was supposed to honour my grandfather,” she said.
Now, she says she no longer trusts him. “After five years of being together, I no longer trust him, and I am planning to file for a divorce in the next few months,” she added.
However, when she confided in her younger sister, she was told not to take it too seriously. “My sister said it was not a big deal and that I should let it go,” she admitted. “I don’t know if I should be taking this as seriously as I am now. I am starting to think there is a possible affair going on, but maybe I am overreacting and he just really likes the name.”
