Husband named group chat

So, I’m 8 months pregnant. I could be just thinking too much into this. My husband is going on a small stag with boys from his football team, there is 4 of them including him in his group. Basically a group chat has been made for them, which is normal but he decided to name the group chat ‘shaggers’. He is the only married one, the rest are not in relationships just ‘seeing girls’. Baring in mind my husband is 34 years old as well. AIBU or am I right in thinking wtf? Why would YOU name it that? I’m confused about the whole thing. I just spotted it last night and he’s leaving this morning. Please be honest am I just been silly?

My husband and his old school friends have a WhatsApp group. They're all sensible men with wives and young children and in fact we all socialise as couples/families (well we did in normal pre COVID times). But for some reason they all revert to being teenage boys when they're chatting in their WhatsApp group or when they get together without wives/children. I have no concerns that they'd be out trying to chat up women or anything else, they just think it's funny to chat and make jokes like they were teenage boys. I imagine a lot of men are probably the same

I'd just think it was a play on the word "Stag" ..."staggers", " shaggers". That could easily be some "joke" that came from a group of immature guys who thought it was funny.

Ewwww!

That made my fanny close shut! He sounds like one of the inbetweeners.

The Shaggers name wouldn't bother me.

The strip clubs would.

I wouldn’t think he was going to cheat I’d think he was a twat

Hmm, I have a group chat with some girl friends I've known for a long time that someone named "the thirsty sl*ts". The person who did that is in a committed relationship, along with more than half the members. It's just a joke, yes a childish one but just a joke. I never thought that my partner might see that and think I'm shagging another man every week.

Has he done anything to make you suspicious? Just sort of sounds like banter to me?

I'm a group chat with two other female friends called "lesbian coven" - we're all in long term relationships with men

Okay this kind of went a bit off what I was meaning. We don’t live near strip clubs so I wasn’t saying he was a usual customer at one I’m just meaning he has been to a stag before where they have been there- he tells me so it’s not like it’s a secret or a big deal. I don’t expect him to stand outside while the others go in. I asked if IABU being a bit of a mood about it and to be fair now time has passed and I’ve read some of the messages I feel like i was being a bit silly and that’s fine. He is a genuinely a good husband and fantastic dad (I’m pregnant with our second). I feel bad this post has made him out worse than he is and I don’t have trust issues so clearly i was just being a bit silly and not thinking he’s just having a laugh. Its not like he can meet anyone, bars close at 10.30pm and he’s golfing early tomorrow too. Thanks for the comments everyone good and bad 😁
