A woman has told of how she is refusing to name her daughter after her partner's late grandmother as it is a "rude" word in her language.
In a post on Reddit, the anonymous woman, aged 30, detailed that she and her husband, 37, are expecting a little baby girl together and are in the process of choosing baby names.
However, they are having a bit of difficulty deciding, The Mirror reports.
She and her husband are from different countries, she explained, and while she clarified that she is British, it is unclear where her husband is from.
She said: "When we found out we were having a girl, my husband said he'd like us to name her after his grandmother who passed away recently and who he was extremely close to.
"I think this is a very, very sweet idea, and I would have no problem with it were it not for the fact that to put it bluntly, her name in my language means female genitalia."
The woman's name, she revealed, was Fanny. Although this was a popular name many years ago, she's concerned her daughter would be bullied for having it now.
She explained that in her husband's country, in which they reside, the name Fanny does not have any association other than being pretty, therefore, he doesn't see an issue with it.
"It'll be embarrassing for her to introduce herself with that name when we visit," the post read. "If we ever moved back (we're not planning to, but you never know) and she had to attend school there, she'd definitely be bullied for it."
The woman tried to compromise with her husband and suggested that they use Fanny as a middle name, but he wasn't having it.
She claims he even accused her of being "embarrassed" by his culture.
"I'm in love with his culture and I think the name is very pretty, it's just that I know our daughter will visit my country too and she'll have such a hard time there with that name," the post read.
She concluded her post by asking whether she was in the wrong for insisting on using it as a middle name or changing it slightly, and users were quick to share their thoughts.
