Woman Changes Baby Name After Mother-in-Law Gets Tattoo of It

A pregnant woman says that she's changing the name she and her husband had initially decided on for their unborn child — but her mother-in-law has already gotten a tattoo of the original name.

In a post shared to Reddit, the anonymous 30-year-old woman writes: "My husband and I are expecting our first child, a boy."

"We had a name we liked but never told anyone it was final," she adds.

But that didn't stop her mother-in-law from inking the name permanently on her body.

"My MIL (57F), who has always been a bit much, took it upon herself to get the name tattooed on her wrist," she continues in the post. "We were shocked but still unsure about the name."

A month later, the couple ultimately decided "to go with something else."

"When she found out, she LOST IT, saying we 'disrespected' her, and now she’s demanding we change it back," the woman writes. "Even my husband is asking me to reconsider 'to keep the peace.' " She, however, refuses.

Reddit users are now chiming in on the situation, with many criticizing the mother-in-law for taking such a dramatic step in the first place.

Wrote one: "And thiiiiis is why we don't get names as tattoos."

Added another commenter: "Until the kid is HERE, the name is always hypothetical. Hell, I've read articles where people changed their baby's name months after birth because it didn't fit them. She's silly for jumping the gun."

Still others suggested a compromise.

"Can you use it as a middle name?" wrote a commenter. "Otherwise too bad for MIL she should have waited!"
