Mom cancels baby shower after family ridicules name choice

A woman has gone viral online for allegedly canceling her baby shower because her family and friends were unsupportive of her choice of baby name: Squire Sebastian Senator.

“Dear Members of the Squire Sebastian Senator Babyshower (sic),” a post on Facebook and shared on Reddit reads. “I have a really important announcement to make. It brings me pain to have to tell you this, but I am cancelling the event.”

The unidentified woman goes on to explain her decision, stating her friends have been spreading “rumors and lies.”

“Y’all have been talking s--- about my unborn baby. AN UNBORN CHILD. How can you judge an unborn child??” the social media post continues.

The mother shares that she was not “crazy,” or “mentally unstable” or “drunk” when she chose the unique three name moniker, which she emphatically points out “is only his first name.”

“He will not be allowed to have a nickname, he is to be called by his full and complete first name,” she writes.

The woman defended her choice, claiming her family is descended from a long line of “both squires and senators.”

“If you look back in our family tree, the survival of this clan is literally rooted in squiredom. We are all related to senators too,” she writes. “This name conveys power. It conveys wealth. It conveys success.”

“My baby’s name WILL be a revolution,” she continued.

The woman concludes her lengthy Facebook rant calling her family “fake”

I once had a conversation with a woman at a convention who had eight children. She named her first born son Precious Angel. I asked her what the children in their neighborhood called him. She replied, “Oh &$#%, when he was eight years old he came in from playing with his friends and told me his name was Bob. Everybody, even his father now calls him Bob. I’m the only one who calls him by his real name.”

#19. Why didn’t she just go for: Royal King Emperor?”

Because that’s my name and it is copyrighted. “It’s great to be a king”.

And yes, my first name in Hebrew is Melech - King. My sister’s name was “Princess” in Hebrew and my father was “Moshe” - Moses.

You can see that I come from a long line of leaders and royalty. Just remember that when it is my birthday. The King does not like stuff from K-Mart.

Daniel Boone’s father’s name was Squire Boone.

Just saying.

I have a theory that bizarre names given to black babies that seem like they came from someone trying to play scrabble while drunk tend to doom them to tumultuous lives.

I can see this kid in the first grade, and most other kids thinking he is saying ‘Square’ and that’s the nickname from that point on.

I think we can understand now why nations like Iceland have a mandatory list of acceptable names and they won’t allow you to invent names like this for your kid.

I have, in my family tree "Squires" both as first names and surnames, and "Sebastians" as first names. Unless the father of her child has the surname "Senator", she should go by whatever his surname is.

My distant cousin, Ken Squire was founder of WDEV, the 50,000 watt (and now FM too) independently owned station in Waterbury VT.

Squire Sebastian are excellent names for a kid.

They were used more in the 16500s through 1800s when folks were better read than they are today.

Someone way back that I knew wanted to name her newborn daughter, “Debris Latrine.” She thought it sounded French and oh so continental.

By God’s grace, a friend reminded her what it meant before it went on the certificate.

You’re not quite getting it.

She says that his First name is “Squire Sebastian Senator”.

All three names are ONE name in her fevered mind.

She also thinks that she can avoid having anyone give him a nickname.

Delusional doesn’t even scratch the surface on this one.

"Unborn child abuse."

That's a pretty name.

"Whatta dork."

That would be a very common name.

She should name the child Your Majesty. Good for laughs.

“How can you judge an unborn child?”

People do it every day. They judge unborn children unworthy of life and abort them.

I wonder what Harry S Truman’s parents had in mind?
He had no middle name, just the letter S.

I’ve eaten enough of them to qualify for “BURGER KING”. The same for McDonald’s and “Burger Chef” (at 25 cents back in the early 60’s). Didn’t like “Jack in the Box” - Their patties were too large, floppy and tasted like dead squirrel. Now we have “Five Guys” and they are extremely good (Sonic, ok; Red Robin - getting better; Checkers/Rally - hit or miss, as in if they hit it on the road, you got a freshkill burger; if they missed, it was yesterday’s leftover roadkill).

We had Ameche’s drive-in burger joint (Baltimore) with his special Ameche sauce (a souped up Russian Dressing) but boy was it big and good. The Gino Marchetti took it over and didn’t do so well (but his blond daughter was beautiful).
