Imagine having a disagreement over baby names escalate to the point of threatening divorce! That’s exactly what happened when a man’s wife insisted on naming their unborn twins after guns. The wife, who hails from a redneck area with a strong gun culture, proposed the names Remington and Colt. The husband, uncomfortable with guns, put his foot down and vetoed both names. Little did he know that this decision would put his relationship on the line!

From Baby Names to Divorce Threats: A Rollercoaster Ride!
After the husband vetoed his wife’s gun-themed baby names, their relationship took a sharp turn. The wife went on a ‘name boycott’ and even threatened divorce, leaving the husband in a state of panic. Luckily, the wife apologized, blaming her hormones for her irrational behavior. They agreed to try couples counseling and eventually settled on some alternative names. While the wife will still use the gun-inspired nicknames, the husband is willing to compromise for the sake of their relationship. They plan to have deeper conversations about their beliefs once their children are born.
