Today, while out with my family, I happened to run into "the one who got away." She smilingly introduced herself to my wife, who definitely noticed that she and our daughter share the same name. FML

Oh, brünhilda? Yeah I picked that one straight out of the baby book, why do you ask? Complete coincidence...I promise.

I'll bet your wife can't stop puking! You gave your baby daughter the same name as someone you used to ... well, y'know? Ick!

That is pathetic and disgusting. Can't you jerks move on and just be happy? You have a wife and a daughter! What, do you resent them? F the lives of your wife and daughter, not you.

Somehow this was way more sickening than when it happened on Becoming Jane...

you completely deserve whatever wrath your wife, and daughter if she ever finds out that's who she's named after, throws at you. that's pretty disrespectful to the both of them.

You're a literal **** for doing that. You don't deserve your wife nor your daughter.

You really should have thought about that more. And you should have decided not to do it. Even if it isn't a matter of obsession, even if you just subconsciously picked the name, you should have realized it was the same as the name of your ex, and thought "maybe I shouldn't do that." As so many others have said already, you deserve the negative reactions from your family. Nothing excuses the fact that you insulted your wife and cursed your child, both by naming said child after someone you used to date. Your kid has to live with that now, at least until she is old enough to legally change her own name. And your wife will look at you every day from now on and know that you were thinking of another woman when your daughter was born. Congrats, douche.

Honestly though, I hope the child never even finds out. That is one of the worst things OP could've put on her shoulders. There are innumerable scenarios that could stem from having named her after the one that got away, and all of them are horrible.

oops hoping it wasn't a very unusual name

damn thats ****** up, id be pissed lol.

Its disrespectful to the mother of your child the name your baby after the one that got away, if I was the child I wouldn't be happy either.

Wow that's ****** up. I feel so bad for your wife. I don't think I could be married to a guy knowing I'm his second choice.
