A father's decision to name his newborn son after a character from the popular video game League of Legends has erupted into a full-blown family feud, leaving relatives horrified and divided.
The dad, who has chosen to remain anonymous, revealed he found the name 'Sett' while gaming and immediately knew it was the one for his firstborn child. Despite his partner's initial hesitation, she eventually agreed to the unique moniker.
Family Backlash and Outrage
The announcement was met with immediate shock from family members. "My mum said it was the most ridiculous thing she's ever heard," the father confessed. Other relatives were equally appalled, with one aunt demanding to know if it was a joke.
The criticism didn't stop with close family. Even friends joined in, with one couple admitting they'd been gossiping about the unusual name choice behind the parents' backs.
No Regrets Despite the Drama
Despite the overwhelming negative reaction, the father remains defiant. He insists he has no regrets about his choice and believes the name is "strong" and "cool."
He argues that traditional names like David, John, and Andrew are too common and that his son will stand out with a unique identity. The parents have no intention of changing their decision or selecting a more conventional middle name as a compromise.
A Growing Trend in Baby Naming
This controversy reflects a wider cultural shift, where parents are increasingly looking to pop culture, video games, and unique sources for inspiration, moving away from traditional naming conventions.
While the family rift is yet to heal, the dad is confident that once they see the baby, the name will simply become a part of who he is. For now, he's standing by his gaming-inspired choice, ready for his son to own his unique name.
