My husband and I are expecting a baby boy in 3 months. The issue started when my FIL passed away 2 months ago. My husband who was very close to his dad wants to honor him by naming our son after him which would have been fine if it wasn’t for the fact that his name is “Kir” which means penis in my language.

I told my husband that there is literally no fucking way I’d name my son penis. I just can’t. He tried to compromise by saying we could name him Kieran and call him Kir for short or we could use Kir as a middle name but I DON’T WANT MY SON TO BE NAMED PENIS, BE NICKNAMED PENIS OR HAVE IT AS A MIDDLE NAME.

I have a large family who I’m sure are gonna laugh at the name. All his cousins on my side will know his name is penis and they WILL make fun of him.

My husband thinks I’m an asshole for not letting him name our child Kir.
