AITA - unusual Baby name

[PrincessSavannah]

Hi all-

So recently a friend of mine has announced their baby's arrival and the name.

Is there any way to approach them and explain that their weird baby name is... well too weird.

I googled the name at it's linked to a random film character in a weird movie and also very closely similar to a company they are about to start...

AITA for wanting to explain my feelings on the name before they register it?

I think you should have a your solicitor write them a letter.

Obviously.

I think some parents are extremely cruel with the ridiculous names they give their children and set them up for a lifetime of ridicule, but it really is none of your business what someone else chooses to call their child.

I too thought the baby's name was AITA! 😂

In short, unless it's your baby, it's not really any of your business. If you want to preserve the friendship, you simply smile and nod and say nothing at all.

Irrelevant is a truly terrible name

again, irrelevant! 😂

Savannah is a bad name. A great big expanse of hot desert where nothing can grow.

Doesn’t matter if it’s linked to a film character. Is the kid going to get bullied for the name or have any difficulty with it? If not, then what’s the problem? I’m on the other end of the spectrum with a very very common name and that also sucks.

I don't think you're an asshole. What you're saying is that this is more than a name not being 'to your taste'

It's got slagworthy connotations? I'd bring it to her attention.

If your only criticism is that it's very unusual then don't say anything. Nothing wrong with an unusual name.

Its not irrelevant at all - OP could be completely off the mark (say name is Rose) or spot on (say name is Chlamidia)

parents choice
so friends opinion is…. irrelevant

added to which… we know it’s a character name and a business name where they work… so a STD? it will not be or anything similar

Is it... Coraline? (Character in a creepy movie, sort of tech company sounding...) if that's it yes, YABU coraline is a lovely name.

I mean if they’re asking say your opinion but if they aren’t don’t 🤷‍♀️

I can guarantee you they don't give a shit what you think. Keep your opinion to yourself, you're not that important.

The name they have chosen doesn’t have anything to do with you, leave them be.

AITA for wanting to explain my feelings on the name before they register it?

Why do you think your feelings matter?
Why would they give a shit how you feel about their baby name?

Is it Rambo?

No way its nothing to do with you.

🤣🤣🤣

Yes op you are

Eye-ee-tah

🤣🤣🤣

Is it like Raita? Is that the cucumbery one?

Unless it’s incredibly offensive,
no.

Please tell us the name but again say nothing to them. It's not your place.
