A woman has taken to social media to share the ‘stupid’ name her pregnant friend wants to give to her baby – as she questions whether her hormones have clouded her judgment
A woman has blasted her best friend for giving her newborn a name so ‘stupid’ they’ll end up being bullied for it. She says her pregnant friend doesn’t want to know her child’s gender before their birth and so has picked out both a boy’s and girl’s name.
However, her choice of name has sparked concern among her friends, who believe her child will become a ‘laughing stock’ over it. Taking to Reddit, she said: “She doesn’t know the gender of her child as neither her husband nor her want to know before the birth. They have one for each.
“Raven for boy, and Femily for girl. No matter what anyone tells her she won’t budge.” Upon hearing the names, the woman believed her hormones were clouding her friend’s judgment – but was shocked to hear how the husband fully supported the monikers.
“They have painted the baby room and ordered towels, babygrows, etc with initials on key pieces, saying if they get a girl they will save the other stuff for when they have a boy and vice versa.

“Raven is a girl’s name. I have never met a man or other boy named Raven. I asked her why that name and she said, that if her baby turns out with jet black hair and her blue eyes he will be the cutest baby ever, and a very handsome man when he grows up.
“Both of them have ginger hair so I don’t know how they think their child will end up with jetblack. I know she has a favourite book with a character that looks like that, but even in the book the main character doesn’t have that name. As for Femily when you have the perfectly reasonable name Emily.”
Commenting on her post, one user said: “Femily sounds like the stage name for a drag queen. Raven will end up being the palest weirdest goth kid ever.” Another user added: “Femily sounds like a brand of discount feminine hygiene spray that was taken off the market after it caused labial tumours. Raven is definitely the lesser of the evils in this case.”
One more user said: “There was a kids’ gameshow that was broadcast in the UK in the noughties called Raven- that’s the only time I’ve known of a male Raven. He could turn into a raven. This child presumably won’t be able to do that.”
