A husband has taken to Reddit to share his dismay after his wife proposed naming their unborn twins the same name, 'Chegleigh'. The man, posting on the 'Tragediegh' forum, explained that his wife is seven months pregnant with a boy and a girl.
He wrote that his wife came home excited, claiming she had found the 'perfect name' for the twins. To his surprise, she suggested naming both children 'Chegleigh', with the boy to be called 'Cheggs' and the girl 'Leigh' as nicknames. The husband initially laughed, thinking it was a joke, but his wife was serious and has since stopped speaking to him over his refusal.
The husband stated, 'I will not allow my son to be named Cheggs Bennington.' He had previously expected traditional names like John or Mary, given his wife's old-school preferences.
Reddit users reacted with a mix of humour and disbelief. One joked, 'Change your last name while you’re at it. Don’t deny your son the ability to call himself Cheggs Overeasy.' Another suggested, 'What about Chegg as the middle name? Call him Scott. Scott Chegg.'
Some commenters doubted the story's authenticity, but others defended it, noting that 'hormones are wild' during pregnancy. One user remarked, 'I am so glad that my country does not allow you to just name anything for your kids...'
