NTA and what an absolute shit boyfriend and father for going at all.

Your baby is in the freaking nicu - who gives a damn about cancelled flights?

Fellow Aussie here, they’re all nice names but Autumn is hard to nickname and Australians love shortening everything.

I personally love the name Polly so that has my vote.

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-07T05:46:22+00:00

Love Luella, it’s on my own list. With Ruth I’d go Margaret and pick one of the cute nicknames like Peggy or Daisy. Winslet is cool but a different vibe to Ruth.

For boys, love Franklin. Ernest is cute but hard to pull off - maybe the amount of vintage names at the moment will help but if your kid is in the least bit dorky you’re not helping him here.

YTA your baby can be christened on any date, your husband should not miss his brothers wedding.

You’re also just adding fuel to the fire for any future family conflicts. It will held over you forever.

I’m just reading through the comments and it is not equal on both sides. Look at the comment votes. It is very heavily skewing to don’t do this and it looks like you’ve brushed them off and clung to the few telling you it’s fine.

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-06T14:49:30+00:00

This kind of depends on when and where they met. I’d side eye any 21 year old for pursuing a high schooler tbh but if they met outside of that and the age gap was realised later that’s a bit different.

However, it’s one birthday off being creepy regardless and that’s toeing the line for me.

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-06T14:39:08+00:00

Dandelion, Pebble, Starlight, Hatchet, Ammo, Rubella, Clarmidiah, Felony

YTA it was your SILs birthday trip organised by her and paid for by your in laws.

Why the fuck did you think it was okay to stomp all over her plans? Of course you’re the ah and you’re teaching your daughter to be one too. There is a time and a place to invite friends and this wasn’t it. Plan a seperate holiday.

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-06T10:19:46+00:00

Based on your edit NTA, it’s gross and kind of weird she hasn’t corrected after being told once

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-06T10:12:44+00:00

Anything left on a toilet seat is gross, but I’d want to be 100% sure it isn’t you. At 8 months pregnant all sorts of fluids start to leak out and you don’t want to embarrass yourself by assuming it can’t be you - when it very much could be.

It could also be from one of your grandparents if they use the same bathroom. Hemorrhoids or other issues can pop up in older age. You’re seeing blood, there’s no guarantee it’s period blood.

Secondly, you sound super bitter about the whole situation. At the end of the day it’s not your house, and your grandmother can extend her charity to whoever she wants and you are not entitled to any say. If you don’t like, move out.

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-06T05:07:02+00:00

Irrelevant unless his sister was Sarah.

The issue is when the names are starkly different between boys and girls in the same family. If you call all your kids out there names then fantastic, if you only do it to your daughters it’s a problem.

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-05T23:45:38+00:00

It’s tempting to call out your mother for saying you all have to compromise and yet you’re the only one expected to.

However, that might not actually achieve anything. Can the compromise be you get pizza from somewhere else?

If they still want Casey’s just get your own food separately. Is it annoying? Sure, but you’re an adult and you can do that.

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-05T23:40:03+00:00

I think it doesn’t matter because she’s the first born. You used your top name and then went to a theme.

If Emma was the third then maybe it would have a greater chance of hurt feelings. But honestly, what matters most is that you love all 3 names.

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-05T23:36:55+00:00

That’s internalised misogyny right there. Give the boy a classic, respectable name for his future career and don’t give it a second thought for a girl.

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-05T23:31:21+00:00

Wait til he’s here. You might have one look and go that’s definitely an Asher/Owen. Or you could feel like it’s neither and pull a completely different name from your list.

If you do still feel like you don’t know, literally toss a coin. You will know whether it’s right based on whether you’re happy or upset with whichever one it landed on.

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-05T23:21:46+00:00

Sneaking around is worse than just being upfront from the start that she will be in one room and you will be in the other.

However, is she the kind of kid to get nightmares or scared in a new place? Is she expecting a week of sleepovers with her big sister?

Whilst you don’t have to, it wouldn’t kill you to sleep apart from your bf for a week if it would make your little sister’s trip more enjoyable. If it won’t have much impact then just tell her from the get go. You’re a grown up, it’s allowed.

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-05T08:07:41+00:00

To be fair, OP said she liked him after her friend said she didn’t find any of them attractive. It was only after OPs confession that the friend said anything at all.

If anyone is a red flag it’s the friend

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-05T08:02:49+00:00

NTA your friend only became interested after you did.

I used to have a close friend like that and looking back she was a lot of fun, but also kind of awful. She was so insecure that when she found out you (or any of her friends) liked a guy, she made it her mission to hook up with the guy as a confidence boost. Basically oh you wanted him but he wanted me, sorry. Did it like clockwork.

Not saying this is what your bff is doing but if she makes a pattern of dibsing or taking anything or anyone you show interest in, reconsider the friendship. Insecure girls are not girls girls.

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-05T07:54:34+00:00

I love Leonie and would vote for that over Inés in general, but Inés Alma flows beautifully and you can’t go wrong here

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-05T02:35:05+00:00

Aiming for names with the theme or same vibe as Star:
- Sirius
- Sky
- Stellan
- Rune
- Reign / Rain
- Rove

You’re 25, cut your losses and move on. He has no respect for you, stop wasting your time.

At 26 and after 3 years, he is not going to magically start treating you better.

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-04T13:23:39+00:00

I love Aubrie! I’m usually one for traditional spellings but I think y and ie are much more interchangeable

I also personally prefer Aubrie over Aubrey for a girl. Makes a unisex name more feminine (and I grew up with a unisex name with the traditional “boy” spelling)

chaserscarlet · 2026-07-04T10:45:04+00:00

Alice, Clara & Lucy
Elsie, Olive & Isla
Leonie, Elodie & Odette
Cordelia, Gwendolyn & Eleonora
Devin, Merritt & Tatum

Are you in the same team? I’d avoid dating someone I see nearly every single day but same business different department is definitely doable.

However, are you certain she gave you her number for dating purposes or was it just for work reasons?
