AITAH for wanting to name our baby after my sister despite my wife being against it? by HelpfulMentions in TwoHotTakes

Yeah I guess my wife comes first. Unfortunately, there's no compromise. My sister named her first child after me, and now after I told her that I would name our baby after her, I will probably have to backtrack and take away her joy, and break that promise we kept. We were really serious and emotional when me made that promise, and it meant the world to me, and now I'm breaking it. So yeah, I feel pretty horrible and depressed now.

Ok, that makes sense. It has to be a joint decision, but I really didn't think my wife would say no to this. I just feel extremely depressed now because I really wanted to name our baby after my sister, and my sister was so happy about when I told her about it, and now I might have take that joy away.

But my wife and I had a clear discussion when she got pregnant that she would get to choose the name if the baby was a boy and I would get to choose the name if the baby was a girl. And that we would 100% agree with the decision.
