Baby-naming can be a fun and exciting time for expecting parents, but it can also lead to some serious disagreements. One mom-to-be (33F) found herself in a heated debate with her husband after suggesting they name their unborn son after a Star Trek character. She’s a big fan of the series, especially Deep Space Nine, and fell in love with the name Julian, inspired by Dr. Julian Bashir. The dad-to-be initially loved the name too, but when he discovered its origin, he freaked out!
