A pregnant woman says she regrets telling her in-laws her unborn son's name as they have a problem with the moniker - but many social media users believe their concerns are valid

While some parents-to-be share their baby's name with their nearest and dearest before their birth, others keep it under wraps until they're born. Wishing she'd kept her child's name a secret, one expecting mum has shared how her mother-in-law has been trying to get her to change her son's name because it's upsetting her teenage daughter.

"Dinner was going great until we announced we're having a boy and naming him Shawn. My in-laws got a little quiet for a moment before my mother-in-law asked if there was any other options we'd considered. We took forever to pick a name, Shawn is the only one we could agree on."

"It got awkward after that, there wasn't much else to say and dinner ended quickly after," she said. "My mother-in-law texted me and my husband again to again ask us to find a new name for Ashley's sake. We were only able to agree on it a few weeks ago." Commenting on her post, one user said: "Usually I'd be on your side, but you commented that the bullying 'was bad enough she tried to take her own life'. I mean you do have the right to name your kid whatever, but why would you want to do this to a family member?" Another user added: "Aside from everything I am stuck on the fact that you can’t possibly find any other name better than Shawn - am I the only one fixated on this.
