Surely I'm not?

[SWALK]

DD (17) has recently got a new boyfriend, which is fine. However, his name is Chris, which is a name I hate, and would rather not have to say a lot, especially if he is going to come to the house all the time. I told DD last night that if she wanted to bring him round, then I would be calling him Luke, which I think is an acceptable name (and very nice - it was going to be DD's name, had she been a boy). Very unreasonably, I thought, she flew off the handle at this, even though I know that she likes the name Luke.
Now I have three options:

1. Call the boy Luke when he is at the house
2. Call him "Mr " when he is here
3. Don't let him come to the house.

He is a lovely boy, but I just can't stand him name!
So, is it unreasonable?

I suppose it's only one syllable more than Christopher, and at least it doesn't sound like biting an apple.

[ErikaMaye]

Sorry, I may be new here, but even I have realised that if you want a serious reply to frankly, a rather odd post... AIBU perhaps is not the best place to post in the first place...

Not that I'm denigrating the views here, and personally I do take things here seriously, but it kinda is in the small print at the top of the topic...

How can you possibly re-name someone... Honestly, what would you think if your daughter came home and told you that her boyfriends mother can't bear her name so called her something else.

i can tell you, my DS name is very different, individual, and perhaps not to everyone's taste, but I'd not be happy if i heard some girls mother had renamed him... She'd be dumped pronto.

Perhaps you ought to draw up a list of suitable boyfriend names and issue your daughter with a copy...

Or perhaps she already knows and is dating him on purpose?

[thesunshinesbrightly]

hi groundhogs

yes silly topic really, but i dont think it's for real, just think the op was bored unless she's really that stupid!!

[AliGrylls]

you strange woman - what is wrong with the name Chris?

[Pikelit]

As the Psychiatrist said of Basil Fawlty "There's a conference-worth of material here".

[scottishmummy]

shame swalk doesn't come back for me repartee and piss taking

[Neon]

Most bizarre...

[OldLadyKnowsNothing]

Maybe she's listening out for her dd and her BF, to ascertain what she calls him in the heat of the moment, having taken scottishmummy's advice?

[scottishmummy]

gah! more repartee.i like when they argue and roll with the numptie posts

[SWALK]

I don't find any of you very funny in the least. Neither does my daughter have sexual intercourse with her boyfriend, and therefore your idea is defunct, Scottishmummy (although why your name deserves a capital letter, I don't know).
I came here wanting proper advice, and all you can do is upset me. There is nothing wrong with my mental health, thankyou very much.
I also think that your sense of humour is childish, and you'd be better off talking on the Children's BBC message boards, if it weren't for your potty mouths.
I'm disgusted, but would still very much welcome any sensible advice.

[scottishmummy]

is that what your daughter tells you?you made a risible post no wonder everyone takes the piss.you might as well stick a post it note on your forehead saying numptie

[differentID]

do you have a problem with the name becasue his surname is Peacock?

[TeamEdwardTango]

PMSL

You are clearly a nutter.
Now bugger of to NetMums, where you'll get tea and sympathy and a few hugs and huns, and maybe even "sensible advice" for your sensible dilemma

[LaDiDaDi]

This is funny.

[scottishmummy]

what is netmums (apart from similar name) is it likey MN but no mouldies

[VindalooBungalow]

Tell him how you feel.

Reach an understanding whereby you can call him Luke if he calls you 'FuckingCrazyWoman'.

[TeamEdwardTango]

@ Vindaloo!

[havoc]

This might be the reason why my MIL never talks to me - its not me she hates, it my name. I'll tell her she can call me Luke from now on.
