I let my pregnant wife pick our daughter’s name – her choice is completely bizarre, now she’s not talking to me
A DAD-to-be has revealed the “odd” name his wife wants to call their baby – and confessed when he objected to it she stopped talking to him.
But we have to be honest – on this occasion we’re on his side.
Because she wants to name the tot KOALA.
Which is a really cute animal, sure, but on a baby…
Well, not so much.

It’s part of an agreement they have where he gets to name sons and she gets to name daughters.
But, he was expecting her to choose from a long list of names – not to go totally left field.
He told Reddit: “Now don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against koalas, but I think naming a kid after them is a little bizarre.
“It’d be adorable when she’s little, but just imagine her working retail and having KOALA printed on her chest for all to see. Neither of us is Australian or has ever been there so it just seems an odd choice.
“I vetoed the name, said we can call her Koala if Michelle wants, but she deserves to not have that on her birth certificate.”
And people were largely on his side with one Redditor saying: One fellow Reddit user wrote: “Thank you for vetoing the name.
“Yes, koalas are cute but it is not an appropriate name for a child. And yes she will probably be bullied and will have difficulties in the workplace. And also she will probably be mad at you at some point for giving her that name.”
