I changed my daughter's name while my wife was asleep after giving birth
PARENTS often disagree on what they will name their newborns, but this dad took it one step further when he changed the name of his daughter while his wife was asleep.
After just giving birth to their second child, this Reddit user went against his wife’s wishes to give the newborn girl the name that she had chosen.
The couple had previously agreed that he would name the first-born son and she would name the first girl.
However, his wife had also decided that she would choose both children’s middle names, since she carried them, and they would have this family’s last name.
Admitting that he “didn’t care about middle names” at first, but during the pregnancy due to his grandmother’s death, he decided that he would like to give the baby his grandmother’s name as a middle name.
The new dad gave up after his wife disagreed with the name choice, instead opting for one she had already picked, a traditional name passed down from her side of the family.
Once their daughter was born, a nurse handed him the paperwork to name the child, the Reddit user took his chance and gave his daughter the middle name he wanted while his wife was fast asleep.
“It has been three days and my wife is giving me the silent treatment.” He said, “and even my family said it was a cruel thing to do.”
After coming clean about the name change, his wife was furious and said she would change it to what she had wanted.

But “you need both parents to sign off on the name change” he added, refusing to sign off on the change.
Fellow Reddit users were amazed at the dad’s slyness, “your wife was probably still in pain after giving birth and instead of being there to comfort her, you pull this move.”
While others had similar experiences, saying that “My father did the same to my mother after my sister was born” adding that “neither one of them forgave him.”
