But the pregnant mother of one took to social media to share the “horrible” names her partner had chosen, leaving many shocked.
Posted on Reddit, under the @r/namenerds In the discussion, the mother explained that her husband had chosen five possible names.
But many described them as “fandom names” and found the choices “insane.”
The anonymous Reddit user shared her name dilemma, asking herself, “Is my husband’s name suggestion for our second child crazy?”
The mother then explained, “My husband has some name suggestions for our second baby.
“I named our firstborn, so he can name the second.”
The mother then revealed the five name options: Drako Wolfgang Vasques, Drogo Drako Vasques, Drogo Wolfgang Vasques, Wolfgang Drako Vasques and the last, much simpler than the rest, Tom.
Shocked by the name options, the mother continued: “Am I biased or are these completely awful?”
Although the mother did not confirm how the nicknames were chosen, the name Drako could be a reference to Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter.
Drogo could be a reference to Drogo Baggins, a character from The Lord Of The Rings.
Wolfgang could also have been inspired by Shadow of the Vampire, in which Ronan Vibert plays the role of Wolganf Muller.
The mother was embarrassed by her husband’s suggestions and simply wrote, “I am ashamed.”

The Struggle of Choosing a Baby Name
CHLOE Morgan, a senior writer at Fabulous, has revealed her dilemma when choosing a baby name…
I’m 35 weeks pregnant and the hardest part of pregnancy these past few months (apart from the insomnia and countless nighttime wetting!) has been coming up with a baby name.
The dilemmas are endless…
My partner and I had a private ultrasound to find out the gender as early as possible. Part of the reason for this was that we thought it would make choosing a baby name a lot easier, as we would only have to come up with a list of names for one gender instead of two.
How wrong we were…
I was overjoyed to find out I was pregnant with the baby girl I had dreamed of for so long. But because I was one of the last friends to get pregnant, I have had countless conversations with excited friends over the years about their favorite baby names…something I would like to undo without ever having heard.
Every friend comes up with at least 10 possible nicknames and I can’t help but feel like more names are out of the question, even though I know no one would object. It’s just my own problem!
This debate comes up over and over again on social media: can you choose the same name that was a ‘potential’ name for your friend’s baby?
It’s a very divisive topic and opinions are always divided. And I don’t want to be THAT person.
While some argue that there are thousands of other names to choose from, others say that you should choose YOUR favorite. After all, there is no guarantee that person will ever have a child.
Then there’s the matter of finding a name you love… and then doing some research online and reading one negative comment among hundreds of positive ones that you just can’t let go of.
I made that exact mistake when I fell in love with a certain name (I won’t tell you because I don’t want to ruin it for others!)… only to see someone point out that it constantly autocorrects on a phone to something rather rude. So back to the drawing board we went..
Only five more weeks and it looks like our little girl will be called ‘baby girl’ for a while longer!
Another added: ‘Knowing that someone has considered naming a child Drogo Drako is the driving me crazy.”
A third commented: “It’s so insane.”
Your child’s name shouldn’t be a billboard for your fandom

“This is a giant digital billboard with a flashing neon frame and strobe lighting.”
A Reddit user then suggested: “[You] “We should have a rule that there are no fandom names.”
