Naming a baby can be a challenging task for any couple, but one woman found herself in a heated debate with her husband and their families over a name suggestion. The expectant mother, who has struggled with infertility and miscarriages, is now at the center of a family feud. The reason? Her husband wants to name their unborn child after his late grandfather, Theodore. Sounds innocent enough, right? Well, there’s a catch. The couple’s last name is Bounde, and the name Teddy Bounde has some…unfortunate associations. Let’s dive into this dramatic tale.
