I (f34) am pregnant with twin boys and my husband (m34) told me that he was dead set on naming
our sons “notch” and “jeb”. I know most of you are probably unaware, but these are the names of
two of the people who created minecraft. My husband is a big minecraft fan and builds stuff on the
game a lot and has minecraft posters, he even said he wants to play minecraft with his sons. I told
my husband that I want to give our children regular names, not after minecraft because they are not
objects, and my husband got really defensive about it saying that he should be able to choose
because he is their father and I never gave any name suggestions. I will never name my children
after minecraft because I don’t want them to get bullied and feel like it’s dehumanizing to name them
after a game. I told my husband that I’d rather get a divorce than name our kids after minecraft and
he got really angry and raised his voice. I’m pregnant and my hormones maybe made me really
emotional because I started crying. A few hours after that, we calmed down and I asked him again
and he said he will for sure name the kids “notch” and “jeb”. AITA?
Weird fact: the Easter Bunny was the source of a significant amount of theological debate during the
1200's, as Catholic philosophers debated why God would create a creature in a constant state of
labor (and thus suffering). The Catholic Church ultimately resolved this question by declaring that the
Easter Bunny orgasmed every time it laid it an egg (which it was doing constantly). This is now
codified in Canon Law (the legal code of the Catholic Church and much of Europe in the pre-modern
era) and saying that the Easter Bunny does not orgasm with every egg laid is considered blasphemy
and grounds for excommunication from the Church.
