My wife comes from a redneck area with a lot of (in my opinion) very weird gun culture. She has a small gun collection herself but she only keeps one of her handguns in our home for home defense and the rest are in a storage unit. She does this for my sake because she knows guns make me uncomfortable, and I keep my small funko pop collection in that same storage unit because she thinks they’re creepy.
All that out of the way, she’s now pregnant with twins. We’re not sure of the genders but when we started talking about names, we both agreed that the other retained veto power. Once we started talking she said she was dead set on naming a girl “Remington” or a boy “Colt”. I vetoed both citing how uncomfortable I am with guns, and she said it was just a name and I could get ever it. She said that I already got to name our first, which is an exaggeration but our first did end up with a modified version of my mom’s name. She said we could call Remington as “Remy” or use Colton with the nickname Colt, and I said I’d be fine with Colton as a middle name but I would never call him Colt even if she did.
She called me unreasonable and dropped the conversation. Now she’s going on a “name boycott” by refusing to talk about names with me until I agree to Colt or Remington as a possible first name. I told her that this is my hard boundary, no gun names and that’s final. She called me a “snowflake soyboy” (which is very weird because other than guns I’m a very typical manly dude) and is threatening to divorce me and keep me out of the hospital so that she can name them whatever she wants. Now I’m panicking that I might lose my love and my future kids over my own stubbornness, AITAH?
