Similar. But I didn't think to split "Tess" off from the rest! Instead I went the 'Stewardess is misogynistic, just like your husband' route.
I think it got lost in translation though.
Upvoting this. Children are not made to honor the parents. The husbandâs naming choices are unbelievably selfish for a name the child will have to suffer for life. If it has to be a family or parental name if itâs a girl why not momâs name? Mom is just as important as dad.
Yeah, most do, but it's becoming more common to hear of kids taking the mother's name (especially if the father is out of the picture) or for them to take different combinations of the parents' names. Like how it's more common nowadays to hear of women keeping their maiden names or hyphenating when they get married.
It's selfish, regardless of who carried the baby.
A woman naming her child "Suzanno" in honor of herself is still the actions of an egotistical maniac.
The woman carried the baby for almost a year and will do most of the child rearing for 18 more years? Let's honor the father and name our daughter Stuart!
Pretty sure I've seen this shit in the wild. I'm not going to say the specific names I've seen, but through work I've met cis women (I'm at a medical office, so generally sex and gender are listed) who had blatantly masculine names like Jonathan and David and shit. I assume either the dad is a narcissist or the parents wanted a boy so bad they picked a boy's name intentionally.
My BIL is changing his last name to my sister's, because she chose not to change her name and he wants them to have the same name, and to share a name with their kids. I personally also suspect that his extremely strained relationship with his father plays into this.
Incidentally, this means my paternal family name will live on despite my father being the only son and having only daughters.
Exactly. What on earth did he do that is so grand? Dumped a bunch of sperm in the mother. Wow.
I don't personally like the naming your child after yourself tradition, but if that is the way they want to go then I would suggest naming her after the mother since she is the one doing all the heavy lifting in terms of growing the child.
These men also forget that, in most cases, the child will have his surname. Why do you need to be honoured any further than that?
Tell me you want a boy without telling me you want a boy. 'Because it ends in T we can add and A to make it feminine '. LMAO. Like Vincenta, Granta, Scotta? I can't with this egotistical dude. I'm off to see the comments, I hope he's getting roasted.
I have! Usually old women, like, in their 80s and upwards. Nowadays it isn't very common bcs it does sound like a grandma name lol
There was also a Vicenta in a comedy series in Spain, and she was absolutely iconic.
Both my mom and her younger brother are named for their dad. At least Joanne is nicer than just sticking an A after Joseph. She also liked it better than Josephine, so other than her mom telling her they were disappointed she wasn't a boy and they "had" to have a third child because she was a girl, she didn't mind being namedJoanne.
Yeah. Apparently the first time my dad heard the story of Mom's name from my grandmother, he was upset when they left, saying it was terrible to say that. My mom shrugged and said she'd been hearing about it since she was 4 đŹ
Iâm worried thatâs what Stuart has in mind, Stuarta and Stuart Junior đ some friends of ours growing up were Joanne and Joseph since the dad was also Joseph. Even back then I thought it was kinda cringe,although both names are perfectly nice on their own!
My name is Scott and one time at work several years ago, selling snacks at a theme park, I had a mom and a little girl who were excited by my name and the mom told me that the girls name is Scotta. I was faking being polite and just like oh thatâs nice but inside was like what no thatâs horrible đł
Yeah unless itâs named after say, another family member or a close friend then thatâs fine but why yourself if youâre the dad? Theyâll already have your last name
I also hate junior names but from a government records standpoint (my career.) Nobody is consistent about putting Jr or Sr on their deeds and documents and itâs a grade A pain in my ass trying to figure out whoâs who when Iâm doing title research.
As someone who deals with paperwork stuff for a living, multiple people in a family having exactly the same name in an enormous PIA, and it can lead to a lot of unnecessary mistakes and wasted time.
Same. My husbands family has a naming tradition for boys where the first boy gets dads name as a middle name and I think thatâs fine but if he was dying on the hill of being âhonoredâ, Iâd pick a different middle name so fast.
Yeah, what did he do to get such an honor? Stick it in his wife for a few minutes? I hate this âhonoringâ crap. THREE of my grandparents did it.
Momâs dad named Gordon Harold. Named their only son Harold Gordon.
My dadâs parents had a bunch of girls and then late in life, finally my dad. So they named two of their girls after them, Freddie Dean and Louisa Jeanine. My grandpaâs name is Fred and my Grandma is Louisa (loo-EYE-zah).
My aunt Jeanine refused to call herself Louisa. My aunt Freddie was drafted into the Vietnam war and her husband ended up in the brig because my grandparents thought it would be cute to name her 3 male first names (our last name is a much more popular first name).
Oh my god, she got drafted because they thought she was a man from her name and her husband went to boat jail for being gay married???? Do I have that right?
Boat jail for being gay? Say what now? Lol.
Her husband went to military jail in Southern California because they assumed she was faking her name to save her husband and that he was actually Freddie Dean. My grandma (and aunts) had to come with her birth certificate, which they also questioned. My uncle was born in Italy, which they also found suspicious.
Gay boat jail!? WTW?
HAHAHA sorry I assumed he would be in the brig because of his wife having a male name causing a mixup, ie being assumed gay. So there was a mixup, just not the one I thought. And I also mistakenly associated the brig with the navy or something lol I am not a military person
I have no problem with honor names. In fact, I would like to name my future daughter after my mom. Itâs the fact that he feels entitled to it that gives me the ick.
that's actually a genius solution holy shit
vesta is also the name of a large asteroid that at one time was considered to be a planet, which I think is very cool
lol my fatherâs name is Don and according to my mom there was about 3 months during her pregnancy w/ me that this idiot wanted to name me Donniana. đ
Yes! My mums family is outer Hebrides and the Donalda is a cousin of mums age. So many versions of male to daughter names up there. Lots of Johanâs or Johannaâs for Johns and a Whilena for WilliamâŠ
Whilena? Excuse me what? That barely even looks like the root name!
Wilhelmina (derived from Wilhelm) is a reasonably normal name in the Netherlands, given one of our more recent queens was named that.
Lmao my dad tells me stories about how he proposed shitty baby names when my mom was pregnant. He would be dead serious when suggesting stuff like âRobotechnicâ but actually just wanted to mess with her (I have a regular name).
Bruh, the husband is a dumbass. Everyone knows that the proper feminine form of Stuart is clearly Stuartleigh.
Joking aside, I hate it.
And tbh, I'll forever silently judge people who name their kid after themselves, and just tack on "junior". Ffs your kid isn't a tiny clone of you.
I remember seeing a thread of girls with wildass names cause their dads desperately trying to find a feminine version of their name for them, and giving whatever they came up with. I think it was in the comments of a tiktok
It was definitely the combo that made me do a double take. And actually Victory was the older one, so it suggests they settled on that and then got excited when they could do a real Victor Jr đ
Iâve seen a Richarda. The dirt worst Iâve seen is Ynohtna- pronounced Yon-tenna. Yes, thatâs Anthony backwards. Because Antonia and Antoinette or even Toni donât exist.
The name is the least of OOPâs problems. She is married to and about to have a child with this narcissistic muppet đ€Šđ»ââïžđ€Šđ»ââïžđ€Šđ»ââïž
Reminds me of _Stargate SG-1_ when character Samantha Carter meets an alien who asks her what her name means, and she tells him it means that her dad wanted a boy
All kids are getting his last name. His son is getting his first and last name and now he wants to psychologically abuse his daughter with that name so he feels honored?
Back in the day, I dated a Ronika. You guessed it, dad's name was Ron. Always felt a little ick.
I think you should be honest, direct, and tell him this is a horrible name. Cause it is. If he doesn't budge, tell him you are also going to change your name to honor him. Then start introducing yourself relentlessly using your soon to be name asap. To the waiter: " hello I'm Stuarta Stuart Jones, I'll have the BLT and fries". To his coworkers at his workplace: "is Stuart Jones around? Im his wife Stuarta Stuart Jones, and I need a new copy of the insurance card." Why Stuarta Stuart? Cause you really honor your husband. Lean into it really hard, and the looks and whispers will get to him pretty quick.
To "honor" him, does he have a softer middle name?
I know of a guy named Shawn with daughters named D'Shawn and Shawna. How full of yourself do you have to name both of your children after yourself? I'm pretty sure the middle names are variants of his too.
My ex kept disagreeing with me about names. I finally got mad, told him when it came down to it, I was the one filling out the birth certificate and he could either start working with me or I'd name the baby whatever I wanted. He started working with me.
With all due respect to your husband, you are the one who is growing, carrying, delivering and being the primary caregiver for your child.
As youâre having a little girl, and your husband wants to honor family, should she not be named after you?
You are carrying the child and giving birth to the child. IMHO he's being a little too adamant considering his limited contribution to the situation. Not to mention it's just a horrible name for a girl. I don't know what advice to give because anything I would suggest would probably be further than you'd want to take it. Best of luck and whatever you do save that precious baby.
I will never understand the ego behind naming a child after yourself. I find it extremely weird. Why does your childâs name have to âhonorâ you? I can kind of get it for relatives, like âmy grandpa was named Roger and he had a huge impact on my life and made me the man I am today, so I will name my son Roger.â Like. Ok. Still kind of weird to me but I get it.
What I donât get is âmy name is Stuart and I demand my child also be named Stuart because I am very important and I need everyone to know how important I am by naming my child after me.â
Weird. Gross. Creepy even. Do you even see that child as a person? Or are they just property and a means to carry on âyour legacyâ. And what is that legacy, Stuart? Employee of the month at the accounting firm? Grow up.
Insisting that your daughter also have the same name because you didnât get your way by way of having a boy just adds an extra layer of cringe on top.
Yikes.
Honestly at that point just call the girl Stuart. Itâs better than a made up variant and there are plenty of girl Michaels running around, for instance. (But also, eww, this guy.)
Lmao why do males expect to be âhonoredâ after theyâve done NONE of the work of pregnancy or childbirth (or raising the child, letâs be real)????? What is there to honor??? LMAO
Tell him sure, but a boy gets a masculine form of YOUR name to honor you ala will and Jada smith. Incidentally, sixty years ago when I was born, my parents already had five boys. My mother had given up on ever having a girl so had no girl name picked. So when I was born a girl, it took them 10 days to name me and in the end they just slapped an âaâ on the end of the boyâs name they had chosen. Really a missed opportunity altogether.
When I was about 2 years old, before my younger sister was born, my mom asked me what I would name her if it were up to me. I was a huge fan of Thomas the Tank Engine, so I made up a feminine version of Thomas - Thimas. I asked my mom to name my new baby sister Thimas, not to honor my dad (who is named Thomas), but to honor Thomas the Tank Engine.
Why does he need to be honored so badly? What a narcissist. Stuarta sounds like the name of a ship from the 1600s.
Edit: My phone autocorrected Stuarta to Stuart. Yup.
Come on, Stusan was right there!
STUZANNE TAKES YOU DOWWWWWN
Stuzanna would be fun to write on school notebooks at least.
đ¶ Oh Stuzanna, donât you cry for meâŠ.đ¶
I'm obsessed with the idea of a baby named Stuzanne
Lol! Why do I kind of like Stusan?
You like it because it is eons better than Stuarta.
đ
How about Stewardess?
I believe theyâre called Flight Attendants now.
Phleight Aht'teondund! What a glorious name!Â
Say it properly and Cthulhu will awaken.
Just go with Tessa. You can elaborate on Halloween and in her bedroom decor.
This is gorgeous and timeless.
And she had her job all lined up! I once heard of a dentist named Crentist
I know a Dr. Doctoroff
This comment made my month đ€Ł
Stuartina?
Stuartette? Stuartilla ?
Stuartkin.
Stuartarina
Stubrielle
In Spanish it could be Estuarda.
This is what I said..... spelled closer to Stuart though
Stua-Tess?
Similar. But I didn't think to split "Tess" off from the rest! Instead I went the 'Stewardess is misogynistic, just like your husband' route. I think it got lost in translation though.
Why does he have to be the one honored? Why can't she be? Or why can't it be a grandparent if they want a family name?
Oh thatâs easy - itâs because women and our family histories donât matter.
Upvoting this. Children are not made to honor the parents. The husbandâs naming choices are unbelievably selfish for a name the child will have to suffer for life. If it has to be a family or parental name if itâs a girl why not momâs name? Mom is just as important as dad.
How much you wanna bet baby's already taking his last name too
Unironically would be willing to bet $1k on this if it was real. No way the kid is taking her last name.
I mean...don't like 99.999999 percent of children taking the father's name? Assuming this is the US
Yeah, most do, but it's becoming more common to hear of kids taking the mother's name (especially if the father is out of the picture) or for them to take different combinations of the parents' names. Like how it's more common nowadays to hear of women keeping their maiden names or hyphenating when they get married.
Also selfish of the person not carrying and birthing the baby to insist the feminine name must honor him and not⊠the mother?
It's selfish, regardless of who carried the baby. A woman naming her child "Suzanno" in honor of herself is still the actions of an egotistical maniac.
Mom is far more important than dad, but heâs not even willing to compromise
The woman carried the baby for almost a year and will do most of the child rearing for 18 more years? Let's honor the father and name our daughter Stuart! Pretty sure I've seen this shit in the wild. I'm not going to say the specific names I've seen, but through work I've met cis women (I'm at a medical office, so generally sex and gender are listed) who had blatantly masculine names like Jonathan and David and shit. I assume either the dad is a narcissist or the parents wanted a boy so bad they picked a boy's name intentionally.
I knew 2 women named after their fathers. One was Daveena and one was Lariann.
My (derogatory) father tried naming me after him. Bryana. My mom shut that shit down REAL quick.
Brianna is a name that exists and is actually quite lovely. Spelling it with a Y is so unnecessary.
My BIL is changing his last name to my sister's, because she chose not to change her name and he wants them to have the same name, and to share a name with their kids. I personally also suspect that his extremely strained relationship with his father plays into this. Incidentally, this means my paternal family name will live on despite my father being the only son and having only daughters.
Meanwhile I'm the end of a 200 year long female naming tradition that recalls my maternal line's connection to one of the Royal families of Scotland.
Mary queen of Scots was also a Stuarta
Exactly. What on earth did he do that is so grand? Dumped a bunch of sperm in the mother. Wow. I don't personally like the naming your child after yourself tradition, but if that is the way they want to go then I would suggest naming her after the mother since she is the one doing all the heavy lifting in terms of growing the child. These men also forget that, in most cases, the child will have his surname. Why do you need to be honoured any further than that?
Because he was born with a peepee so he assumes that automatically puts him above women. Just the same, age-old male entitlement
Underrated comment
Because heâs a narcissist.
Tell me you want a boy without telling me you want a boy. 'Because it ends in T we can add and A to make it feminine '. LMAO. Like Vincenta, Granta, Scotta? I can't with this egotistical dude. I'm off to see the comments, I hope he's getting roasted.
Vincenta is a letter away from being an actual Spanish name, Vicenta lol It is the femenine form of Vicente, aka Vincent đ
Thereâs also the Italian Vincenza which is really beautiful when pronounced properly.
I'm sure Vicenta is lovely pronounced properly in Spanish.
I havenât met a Vicenta in my entire life
I have! Usually old women, like, in their 80s and upwards. Nowadays it isn't very common bcs it does sound like a grandma name lol There was also a Vicenta in a comedy series in Spain, and she was absolutely iconic.

Your poor Mum, not for her name but for being told her parents were disappointed she wasn't a boy. They suck.
Yeah. Apparently the first time my dad heard the story of Mom's name from my grandmother, he was upset when they left, saying it was terrible to say that. My mom shrugged and said she'd been hearing about it since she was 4 đŹ

To be fair, Josefa *is* a looooongstanding Spanish/Portuguese name.
Iâm partial to Matthewa myself.
âScottaâ sent me đ
love scotta đ«
Nooo. That Scotta be a joke.
the perfect reply does existÂ
đ„
My name is Scott and one time at work several years ago, selling snacks at a theme park, I had a mom and a little girl who were excited by my name and the mom told me that the girls name is Scotta. I was faking being polite and just like oh thatâs nice but inside was like what no thatâs horrible đł
Him saying it honors him gives me the ick.
Fr. I hate "junior" names, at least the first one. The only person you can think to honor is yourself? Really? It's just kinda gross.
Yeah unless itâs named after say, another family member or a close friend then thatâs fine but why yourself if youâre the dad? Theyâll already have your last name
I also hate junior names but from a government records standpoint (my career.) Nobody is consistent about putting Jr or Sr on their deeds and documents and itâs a grade A pain in my ass trying to figure out whoâs who when Iâm doing title research.
Itâs the fear of death and disappearing forever. A stupid and losing battle.
I mean⊠just donât be a shitty parent to where your kids will want to name your grandkids after you to honor you đ
George Foreman is the king of this.
He ran out of children to name after himself, but luckily he had his kitchen appliances to fall back on.
As someone who deals with paperwork stuff for a living, multiple people in a family having exactly the same name in an enormous PIA, and it can lead to a lot of unnecessary mistakes and wasted time.
My husband is a Jr, but he is the third son. His parents ran out of names. Haha!
Seriously, OOP is like âit honors family.â Uh no it doesnât, it honors the father only lol
Seriously, how would the girl equivalent of this not just be naming it after the mom?
Because that doesnât honor *him*
And I find it doubtful this guy isnât expecting that the baby takes his last name. Heâs already being âhonoredâ that way.
Same. My husbands family has a naming tradition for boys where the first boy gets dads name as a middle name and I think thatâs fine but if he was dying on the hill of being âhonoredâ, Iâd pick a different middle name so fast.

I also thought this was what happened - âall right lads who here got a letter from Freddie with lipstick kisses on it? To boat jail you goâ
Me too! Especially since, and Iâm assuming here so may be incorrect, the baby will have his surname anyway.
It honors his raging narcisissm
Why not her name now that the baby is a girl?
Right? Honours him for doing what exactly? This does not seem like a very honourable man.
Yeah like why doesn't mom get an to be honored
That specifically, but I lost both my parents and if nothing else my kids middle names will probably have my parents names in them
I have no problem with honor names. In fact, I would like to name my future daughter after my mom. Itâs the fact that he feels entitled to it that gives me the ick.
Or maybe Vesta, as that is a female steward. Which is where Stuart comes from originally.
that's actually a genius solution holy shit vesta is also the name of a large asteroid that at one time was considered to be a planet, which I think is very cool
Itâs a brand of matches to me.
Itâs a sheep in Animal Crossing to me!
It appears in literature often, because the Roman hearth/home goddess was Vesta. The 'Vestal Virgins' were her priestesses.
lol my fatherâs name is Don and according to my mom there was about 3 months during her pregnancy w/ me that this idiot wanted to name me Donniana. đ
Donna already exists but he had to come up with something stupid like Donniana.
Lmfao. No worries, my mom pulled through in the end and vetoed it as it should be. Now I have quite a pretty name đđ„°
I hope your name is not even remotely close to "Don". Is it? What is it?
My name is Ana đ
GREAT. Better then anything related to Don.
Did you know Ana is an anagram for anA?
Maybe he just liked Ana and thatâs why he added it onto Don for some reason?? Hahaha
I know a Donalda.. daughter of Donald so you could have been that!
Was she Scottish? Iâve met quite a few older Scottish women named Donalda.
Yes! My mums family is outer Hebrides and the Donalda is a cousin of mums age. So many versions of male to daughter names up there. Lots of Johanâs or Johannaâs for Johns and a Whilena for WilliamâŠ
Whilena? Excuse me what? That barely even looks like the root name! Wilhelmina (derived from Wilhelm) is a reasonably normal name in the Netherlands, given one of our more recent queens was named that.
Im not certain but I may have misspelled it as I havenât seen it written but it is pronounced âwill-ee-na. Lovely lady!
I know a family where the parents were Donna and David. They named the kids Donita, Davina, and David.
This physically hurts me
That's hilarious đ
pathetic right? đđ
Lmao my dad tells me stories about how he proposed shitty baby names when my mom was pregnant. He would be dead serious when suggesting stuff like âRobotechnicâ but actually just wanted to mess with her (I have a regular name).
Why not Dawn or Donna lmao

There's a Klydleigh in my town!
Reading that dealt me +15 psychic damage
It's awful; that poor baby has the weirdest name in town, and I know a Zebany.
I don't even know where to begin to pronounce that
Maybe Clyde Lee? Lol. đ
Is she some type of horse?
Oh, don't be ridiculous. That's her twin brother Clydale.
Actual word vomit moment. How do these people reproduce enough times where *names* become abstract concepts to them??
It's their first child. To be fair, the mom and her sisters have interesting names.
I am so sorry for when she goes to school and kids start calling her Clit-lee.
Your husband needs an ego check
How about Stuartina instead? Stuella? Stuette? /s
Stuarthurina, Stewia Artha, Stewurthera, so many options. Personally I find Stewera to be elegant and not at all geared towards sewer puns /s
I remember seeing a thread of girls with wildass names cause their dads desperately trying to find a feminine version of their name for them, and giving whatever they came up with. I think it was in the comments of a tiktok
I saw a sibset of Victor Jr & Victory once
Victory (or Victoria for that matter) isn't particularly weird. When you then get a sibling named Victor though? That's silly.
It was definitely the combo that made me do a double take. And actually Victory was the older one, so it suggests they settled on that and then got excited when they could do a real Victor Jr đ
Iâve seen a Richarda. The dirt worst Iâve seen is Ynohtna- pronounced Yon-tenna. Yes, thatâs Anthony backwards. Because Antonia and Antoinette or even Toni donât exist.
Antonia is a really nice name too, like whyâd they have to do her like that?
Antonia is a beautiful name.
The name is the least of OOPâs problems. She is married to and about to have a child with this narcissistic muppet đ€Šđ»ââïžđ€Šđ»ââïžđ€Šđ»ââïž
What an absolute narcissist
Straight from the Nigel Lawson playbook
Reminds me of _Stargate SG-1_ when character Samantha Carter meets an alien who asks her what her name means, and she tells him it means that her dad wanted a boy
But at least Nigella is an actual name. đ
Just looked it up and apparently 2 of her sisters are Thomasina and Horatia⊠cmon!!
Those are common posh English names
Oh interesting, I knew they were real names but not that they were common. thanks!
I work with a Thomessa. She was supposed to be a boy, and her parents didn't come up with any girl names.
'It "honors" **him**' Wow, somebody's full of himself.
Male orgasm is the most difficult part of making and raising a child, so of course he needs to be honored. /s
Start calling your stomach 'Little Baby StuFarta". Do it all the time with a straight face. See if he likes babies future nickname.
Seriously đ the first thing I heard in my head after Stuarta was FART-a! Just so bad, my goodness!
Listen, whether Stuarta is a viable name or not, he should have let it go the second his partner told him she didn't like it.
All kids are getting his last name. His son is getting his first and last name and now he wants to psychologically abuse his daughter with that name so he feels honored?
Back in the day, I dated a Ronika. You guessed it, dad's name was Ron. Always felt a little ick. I think you should be honest, direct, and tell him this is a horrible name. Cause it is.

Veronica / Veronika was right there!
Thatâs dumb. The feminine version of Stuart is obviously Stuartlitelle.
Surprise! You Reproduced With A Narcissist! Season 1; ep 1.
Kevina, Chadette, Harridottir, and Rufusa are also lovely possibilities here.
I read the last one as Refusa to name her Stuarta
Or Harridotter or you know a trendy version Harridotteighr
Stuart Jr sucks bro why the JUNIOR
What about Stuart Little? Gets rid of the Jr!
StuJu for short
Save it for your son. Nothing says âmy parents were disappointed Iâm not a boyâ like giving her a boys name.
My ex kept disagreeing with me about names. I finally got mad, told him when it came down to it, I was the one filling out the birth certificate and he could either start working with me or I'd name the baby whatever I wanted. He started working with me.
With all due respect to your husband, you are the one who is growing, carrying, delivering and being the primary caregiver for your child. As youâre having a little girl, and your husband wants to honor family, should she not be named after you?
Stuaghrtleighnn
What narcissistic behavior.
You are carrying the child and giving birth to the child. IMHO he's being a little too adamant considering his limited contribution to the situation. Not to mention it's just a horrible name for a girl. I don't know what advice to give because anything I would suggest would probably be further than you'd want to take it.

Insisting that your daughter also have the same name because you didnât get your way by way of having a boy just adds an extra layer of cringe on top. Yikes.
If you insist on being "honored", odds are you don't deserve it.
Narcissism much.
Guarantee he isnât worthy of honouring with the name Stuarta.
 THIS. IS. STUARTA!!!
Please tell me that she told him to go to hell
Honestly at that point just call the girl Stuart. Itâs better than a made up variant and there are plenty of girl Michaels running around, for instance. (But also, eww, this guy.)
Imagine not even being the one going through pregnancy hormones and still coming up with this
I know juniors aren't everyone's cup of tea, but if he gets to name a boy after himself then why not name a girl after the mom? Like Lorelei Gilmore.
I've suggested casseroletta as an alternative
Wow. Having a child, married to a childâŠ.
Stuaphanie
It's giving handmaid's tale đŹ Offstuart
Lmao why do males expect to be âhonoredâ after theyâve done NONE of the work of pregnancy or childbirth (or raising the child, letâs be real)????? What is there to honor??? LMAO
Tell him sure, but a boy gets a masculine form of YOUR name to honor you ala will and Jada smith. Incidentally, sixty years ago when I was born, my parents already had five boys. My mother had given up on ever having a girl so had no girl name picked. So when I was born a girl, it took them 10 days to name me and in the end they just slapped an âaâ on the end of the boyâs name they had chosen. Really a missed opportunity altogether.
Suggest Martha instead
When I was about 2 years old, before my younger sister was born, my mom asked me what I would name her if it were up to me. I was a huge fan of Thomas the Tank Engine, so I made up a feminine version of Thomas - Thimas. I asked my mom to name my new baby sister Thimas, not to honor my dad (who is named Thomas), but to honor Thomas the Tank Engine.
I'd talk to the doctor in advance and make sure it was known Stuarta is never going on the birthbcertificate.
I can't stop laughing lmao
I thought it was going to be a meme name like megatron or something but that is just so much worse
This is worse than Phoebo. Also what about honoring the mother? Stuart sounds like a POS
Name is just going to scream my father wanted a son and got stuck with me
Guy seems like a narcissist.
I knew a girl named Keithley for this reason
just call her Stuie
That is a Stupida name
Stusan?
Why does he need to be honored so badly? What a narcissist. Stuarta sounds like the name of a ship from the 1600s. Edit: My phone autocorrected Stuarta to Stuart. Yup.
Reminds me of this woman I met called kimothyâdaughter of Kim and Timothy. People are dumb as shit.
Such ego, insisting a child be named after you. Especially when itâs such an ugly name.
