The 30-year-old is reportedly a “movie buff” and fan of shows like Naruto, Game of Thrones and the YA sci-fi series I Am Number Four, and has landed on a unique name for her unborn child: Hinata Daenerys Six.
In the attached screenshot of a text conversation, the expecting mother explained the mashup name and even mentions considering “Aziraphale”—a character from Good Omens—as an additional middle name.
The original poster (OP), 15 years younger than her sister, has turned to the internet for help: “I genuinely wish I was joking. This kid will be bullied.”
She laments that her sister dismisses her concerns, writing her off as “just being a judgmental teenager.”
“I am frankly APPALLED by my sister and her choice of name for her future daughter,” the OP wrote. “My parents are currently trying to talk her out of it.”
At the time of writing, the post has received 10,000 upvotes and over 1,800 comments. Reddit users have slammed the mom-to-be for her “asinine” choice.
“Your sister is clearly not mature enough to have a child. He KNOWS the kid will be bullied, she’s just putting her own selfish larping b******* above that because she has no respect or consideration for the child,” one user wrote.
“This is the problem with people viewing a baby as an extension of their personality and not a living human being. I don’t know if it’s ‘main character syndrome’ or delusions of grandeur or what, but people naming their babies after weird sci fi or fantasy book characters is just cringey as hell to me,” another wrote.
One user suggested her sister to try out using the name for a week or two in real-life situations.
For example, if she goes into a coffee shop, use that name for the order. If she meets a stranger, tell them Hinata Daenerys Six is her name.
“Have her try to make a dinner reservation as good old HD6. Make her live with the name until she realizes how impractical it is, and how horribly people will treat her kid,” they wrote.
The OP provided more context in the comments and explained that she confronted her sister armed with the Reddit thread.
She reportedly called her manipulative, selfish and egotistical. Her husband is also aware of the name and “doing nothing” about it.
As it stands, the OP’s parents are trying to talk her out of the name, but whether they’ll succeed is yet to be seen.
