My husband wants to give our baby a ‘vile’ name – he thinks it’s cute but it’s one of the worst monikers I’ve heard
BABY names are totally subjective – what one person loves another may hate.
But one mum-to-be has told how even she can’t stand the name her husband is “obsessed” with – adding that he “won’t let go” of the idea even though she thinks it’s “terrible.”
Taking to Reddit, she explained: “I think the name is basically painting a target on a kid’s back and no one will take them seriously.
“My husband thinks it’s a cute name and will start a naming trend!”
She then went on to reveal the name in question is Mips, with Mipsie also being a potential option.
While many may assume it’s a joke, the woman confirmed her husband is very “serious.”
“No, I cannot convince him no matter what I say it’s terrible so I told him I’d post here to see the general consensus,” she added.
It wasn’t long before social media users took to the comment section to share their verdict on the suggested moniker.
Is it too late to get the marriage annulled?

While some noted how it sounds like something rude, others suggested it’s the perfect name for a pet…not a baby.
“Not trying to be mean but that must be one of the worst names I’ve seen on Reddit,” wrote one.
A second penned: “Oh no. That is a great name for a cat, a rabbit or a ridiculously fluffy dog.
“Something small and fuzzy. Not a grown woman.
“I swear people forget that babies become adults someday and have to be saddled with the absurd names parents thought were adorable embroidered on diaper bags.”
A third agreed: “If he wants to name something Mipsie, get a cat- Mips seems like such a cute animal name!”
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “Mipsie is such a cat name.”
Elsewhere, another commented: “You gotta do whatever you can do to save your baby. I first read it as ‘Nips.”‘
And a further asked: “Is it too late to get the marriage annulled?”
The dilemma of choosing a baby name
CHLOE Morgan, Senior Digital Writer at Fabulous, has revealed all on the dilemma of choosing a baby name:
At 35 weeks pregnant, by far the trickiest part of pregnancy for me in the past few months (minus the insomnia and countless night-time wee breaks!) has been trying to decide on a baby name.
The dilemmas are endless…
My partner and I went for a private scan to find out the gender as early as we could – partly due to the fact we thought it would make baby naming so much easier because we’d only have to come up with a list of names for one gender rather than two.
How wrong we were…
I was absolutely thrilled to be told I was expecting the baby girl I’d already dreamed of, but being one of the last of my friends to fall pregnant, I’ve had countless conversations over the years with excited pals discussing their top baby names…something which I wish I could go back in time and un-hear.
With each friend mentioning at least 10 possible monikers, I can’t help but feel like several are now a no-go even though I know it’s something that none of them would mind in the slightest – it’s a total me problem!
The debate comes up time and time again on social media forums – can you choose the same name that was a ‘potential’ for a friend’s baby?
It’s a very divisive topic and opinions are always mixed…and I don’t want to be THAT person.
While some will argue there’s thousands of other names out there to choose from, others will say you need to choose YOUR favourite…after all, there’s no guarantee that person will even have another baby.
Then there’s also the issue of finding a name you adore…only to research it online and read one negative comment amongst hundreds of positives that you just can’t shake off.
I made that very mistake when I fell in love with a certain name (I won’t reveal it because I don’t want to ruin it for others!) …only to see someone point out that it constantly gets autocorrected on a phone to something rather rude instead. So, back to the drawing board we went..
Just five weeks to go and it looks like our little one is going to be known as ‘baby gal’ for a little while longer!
