i (23m) got eloped to my high-school sweetheart at 19. we’ve been together since we were 14. my wife is currently 6 months pregnant with our son and both of us are over the moon about it. for some background my wife is autistic and hyper fixates over certain topics and interests 24/7. they range from the history of bagels too greek mythology. this has always been one of my favourite aspects of her. listening to her talk passionately about things she truly loves always puts a smile on my face and i wouldn’t change it for the world. her current interest is on harry potter fan fiction. (i may make some mistakes describing this as i only know as much as she’s told me but feel free to correct me.) my wife and i are both pro trans rights and the author of harry potter is far from it. my wife wouldn’t condone that behaviour under any circumstance, so has found a subsection of the community that’s based around harry potters parents and their friend group. one of these friends of course being Sirius black. she’s taking a huge liking to his character in particular and has been wearing my leather jacket recently to incapsulate his vibe too. none of this bothers me in the slightest. i love my wife and her passion for her interests is incredibly attractive to me. going back on topic, me and my wife never had a certain selection for our baby’s name and always just figured we would know when we meet him for the first time. last night my wife approached me, poured me a glass of non alcoholic wine (as we’re both drinking during her pregnancy) and asked me if we could name our son after sirius black. i thought the idea was a joke to begin with honestly. i soon realised she was deadly serious and in the nicest way i possibly could i tried to tell her that the name only suits a fictional character. i explained to her that our son would be subjected to bullying and would likely grow up hating his name. she didn’t reply though she just laid her feet on my lap and stayed uncharacteristically quiet for the rest of the night. i know my wife incredibly well and i know she hates getting asked what’s the matter. she’d rather sort it all through in her head first and then later directly come to me afterwards so i waited for that. this morning we were eating breakfast together and she explained to me that her son was a sirius and she could feel it. she told me that she’s thought over what i said but thought naming her son after the brightest star in the sky and her favourite fictional character was the only option. she emphasised how a mother just knows these things instinctively which i clearly cannot argue against. i left the discussion there but i’m not sure what i’m supposed to do. i love my wife so dearly but i know how she is with these things. she’s obsessed with this topic right now but in 5 months it’ll be the new big thing and it will switch over completely.
AITA
