Sharing your baby’s name can be one of the most controversial things you do as a parent.
Everyone will have an opinion on your baby’s name, will tell you about so-and-so that they knew when they were a kid who had that name, and how that child turned out terribly, or suddenly reveal that you “stole” the name they had been secretly hanging onto for decades.
Le sigh.
Needless to say, the name you choose for your baby is highly subjective, and only a parent should have an opinion on what name they choose. Right?
Er, well, that might be the case. Unless you happen to decide to name your baby after a literal nuclear disaster, in which case, you might get some comments about it.
A Redditor shared a baby shower that they had been invited to, listing the baby's name as 'Chernobyl.'
One commenter even questioned if the baby shower invitation was real, but the poster insisted it was.
While there’s no real way to verify the Redditor’s post, of course, the commenters couldn’t help but have the last word on the alleged parents’ decision to name their future child after the worst nuclear disaster the world has ever seen.
“I’m sure everyone at the celebration will be radiant!” one observed.
“That is going to be one happy nuclear family,” summed up another.
