My husband has come up with eight names for our unborn baby, they are all awful but my family are on his side

NAMING your child is a huge decision, because they have that name for life.

As parents, choosing the name for your son or daughter can have consequences for their future, so you probably want to get it right.

Sharing on Mumsnet, this mum felt she was at the end of her tether, as she wrote: "My husband's absolutely set on several absolutely awful names!

"I'm trying to convince him otherwise, but Mother-In-Law and even some of my family are on his side. Don't know gender.

"Please tell me I'm not going crazy, these names are awful.

She then listed her husbands suggestions, which were; Indy, Jolene, Cosmo, Estella, Trisha, Kiana, Aliesha and Chastity.

Sharing her fears, she wrote: "I honestly fear a child named any of those would be absolutely bullied," and asked fellow parents for some helpful advice.

Fellow parents flocked to offer their advice and their own takes on the names, as one wrote: " Yikes I thought my husband had questionable taste in names…those are truly horrific!

"They’re not even a consistent type, the only thing they have in common is being horrendous!

"Good luck," they wished the mum.

One name was unanimously hated by the other parents as they said: "Chastity is awful.

"What a creepy message to send your daughter - you must remain chaste?!

"I'd be seriously worried if my husband suggested that, it goes beyond "different tastes" and into the realm of different values. (Am I reading too much into this? I don't think so)."

To which the poster replied: "I agree it's quite possibly the worst of them all. I don't think that was the intent though I think he likes the name, and it was his great aunt's name as well."

Another agreed, as they wrote: "Chastity is hideous and I would have serious concerns about any man who thought that was a suitable name for a girl."

While others thought the Estella name sounded too much like the beer brand.

"They’re so bad that I don’t actually know if you’re being serious," wrote another honest commenter.

The worried mum explained: "We're a very close-knit family and Mother-In-Law is currently living with us.

"I'm feeling outnumbered here. Nobody seem to like my names, which are simpler (Nell, Jane, May, Diana for a girl and Jack, Charlie, Will for a boy)"

Though not all liked her name suggestions, either, as they wrote: "I’m also not sure your girls names are much better to be honest. Diana and nell?"

While another poster gave their opinion on every name, saying: "Jolene is the Dolly Parton song, Cosmo is a boy’s name, Trisha is the 90s ITV daytime presenter & her show.

"Chastity is 100% the worst, I can’t believe anyone would use that (and I’m not against virtue names at all but really?!) Kiana looks made up and Aliesha misspelled (Alicia, Alesha maybe, but that spelling..)"

Another commenter agreed her husbands suggestions were bad as they said: "Gosh, I thought my ex's family had awful taste. They wanted to call my newborn son War. I know, just weird ! But these are pretty tacky too except Estella."

While one offered some useful advice: "If you are married, your husband doesn't need to come with you to register the birth, you can do that on your own, so I'd just register whatever you like on the day.

"It is nothing whatsoever to do with Mother-In-Law. Not her baby, she doesn't get a say. At all." She reminded her.

While one wrote: "They are all awful."
