We had decided on Sophie for a name and my OH has just told me it is an ex girlfriends name!!!! Wtf! He tried to justify it saying it was a daft under 16 relationship but I'm still raging!!

My cousin had this issue with the name Claire. She didn’t use it and 15 years later feels a bit silly!

You are being massively over the top.

Furious could be quite a cool name!

JeffJarrett · 10/07/2018 10:26

Wow. How DARE SHE have the same name you wanted. What a bitch!

Grin seriously, calm down. Unless it was a super long term meaningful relationship it doesn't matter.

What exactly are you raging about? Am I missing something?

AWomanIsAnAdultHumanFemale · 10/07/2018 10:24

Furious is a terrible name for a child. Don’t use that.

It’s also a ridiculous reaction to your husband having had a tween romance!! Grow up. Lots of people are called Sophie.

Wow what a drama llama

I was hoping for a baby called FURIOUS. That would have made an interesting thread.

HeyDolly · 10/07/2018 10:24

He was a young teenager at the time - I think FURIOUS is a bit of an over reaction.

ErrantBakedBean · 10/07/2018 10:23

Just for a second I thought you were going to call a kid Furious. I was going to suggest Furio as an alternative.

I wouldn’t rule out under-16 exes unless they were very serious or long-lasting, but if you think it's going to really bother you long term could you amend to Sophia/Sofia or choose another name from your list?

Erm...why don't you have a little sit down and a cup of tea.

Sophie is the most popular name in the world. You can use it without it being an issue. Would be different if it was a super rare name.
