Friend told me today she has chosen the name Susan for her baby. I don’t like it personally but automatically said “oh, that’s nice”.
she’s just WhatsApp me asking if I really liked the name as she got the feeling that I didn’t (oops, I’m a shit liar).
would I be unreasonable to admit that I don’t? Or should I carry on lying about it? (Which I can do easier via WhatsApp!)
AIBU?
To tell my friend that I’m not keen on her baby name?

Can’t go wrong with Jane. As we’re forever typing our email addresses, short names are good.

so she never did reply so I sent her a text last night
“hiya, hope you’re ok! I’m worried I’ve offended you regarding babies name - you know I’m crap with words ☺️ I do think it’s a lovely name, just when you said it I had flashbacks to someone I knew at school and got distracted by that 😂 but just so you know, I do love the name and can’t wait until she’s here 🥰”
I got a reply this morning:
“hi, I’m fine, don’t worry! Just struggling with the heat 😂 well it’s now between Susan, Jane and Dorothy. What do you think of those? Xx”
now I’m not sure if she’s winding me up or not.
