Today, I got in a huge fight with my pregnant wife because I cannot consent to naming our future daughter Paprika. FML

Let me guess. You and your wife are known as Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper. Remember to name your son Cinnamon when the time comes.

Maybe she could have grown up to be one of the Spice Girls

Your wife sounds like she grew up vegan in a commune. Or at least that's what your future daughter is going to sound like if your wife gets her way.

If she can't understand why that is a bad idea she doesn't deserve to be a mother.

Kids get bullied enough without being named things like "Paprika." Please stand your ground for your daughter's sake.

Why settle for paprika? There are so many other spices to choose from.

Exactly! What's wrong with Nutmeg? Or Coriander? Horseradish? Perhaps Crackedblackpeppercorn? Oh, I know! Dill! Nothing could ever go wrong with a name like Dill later in life...

Your daughter will thank you one day.

Could be worse I suppose, could have gone with cumin. Please try and come up with a better name, for the sake of your unborn child

Try buying a baby names book. Go through the book with her, cross out names you both don't like and put stars next to the ones you do. Make it a fun experience and hopefully she'll forget all about the unfortunate name. (Note: make sure it's a decent baby names book. I found one that my parents did for me and they circled the name "Ebenezer"... thankfully I dodged that bullet though.)

Tell her to pick a few names and then y'all can decide once you see the baby and see what names fit her. It'll make your wife really think about the name "paprika".
