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.

I do academic research and in a German journal from the 1890s I saw a man with the last name F*ck. Yes, that word. And he had a PhD. I hope that that last name was changed forever in that family.
A guy worked for me named Sir. His first name was Sir. He said his mother named him that so he’d always have respect.
RB Jones was drafted into the Army in WWII. On his enlistment papers, he gave his name a R(only) B(only) Jones.
So, naturally, his dog tags came issued to Ronly Bonly Jones.
It goes the other way, too. I worked with a lady whose married name was Coontz. One mispronounced it at one’s peril. So imagine the merriment when a newly hired receptionist announced over the company-wide PA that there was a phone call for Mrs. you-know-who.
