A mum-to-be is getting backlash from her family as she wants to name her daughter after her favourite musician, despite them saying it is not an appropriate girl's name. The 21-year-old woman took to Reddit to explain that they have decided on a more traditional middle name of Grace, so she thinks it would be fine to give the first name after the musician.
In the post, the woman who remained anonymous, explained: "I'm currently seven months pregnant with a girl, I’m engaged to the baby's father but he’s pretty much left the naming to me (and is fine with the name I’ve picked).
"Now I could try and make up a story about how it’s my great grandmas name or whatever, it isn’t."
The mum reveals that she has her heart set on the name of her favourite musician - Stevie, after Stevie Nicks.
She said: "I like Stevie Nicks, I like her music and honestly I don’t know why the name Stevie for a girl just seems really cool, it stands out to me and I was like I could totally see that being my babies name!"
The woman has since told her family this is what she intends to call her daughter but they have not been so keen on the name and say it is not meant for a girl.
"My mother is going as far to try and find a feminine nickname…Sally? And I’d lose it if she called my daughter Sally, because I hate that name.
"No offence to anyone who knows or is a Sally, it just makes me think of Sally from Hollyoaks.
"Out of all the names out there I don’t think this is truly awful."
In response, many have been quick to support the mum-to-be with whatever she calls her daughter as one person wrote: "Stevie is no less an actual first name than any other name."
While another wrote: "There’s nothing wrong with the name Stevie for a girl. If you love it and your partner is okay with it, you should use it! Screw what anyone else thinks. It’s not their kid."
A third penned: "I think Stevie is a beautiful name for a girl. I love it."
