After discovering the pregnancy, perhaps the most incredible moment in a couple's life is choosing the baby's name. However, this is a decision that is often difficult and can even cause problems for the couple.
To exemplify this fact, an impasse between a couple who had twins has recently gone viral on the Reddit forum. Despite not having their names disclosed, the “discussion” of the two gave something to talk about.

Following an ancient tradition, the husband allowed the wife to choose the children's names herself, but this appears to have been a mistake.
In the posts he made, the man, who also has a twin sister, says that his wife named the children with similar names. “My wife and I recently decided on names for our twins and she wants them to match. I said I don't like that idea," he said.
The names of the twins were also not disclosed, but reading the conversations it is possible to infer that they are correspondents, like “Emanuel and Emanuela”, for example.
Still according to the dissatisfied husband, although the woman thinks it's "cute" to combine the twins' names, this could cause problems for them in the future. “She says it's cute, but I told her that for the sake of our kids, we're not going to name it right. Each one will have a name that represents it, as it’s better that way,” he explained.
“Children are individuals. I hate to see people try to make their twins look like two identical people. That doesn’t exist,” said the twins’ father. "If they want to match each other in the future, that's fine, but don't force them to look like each other by putting matching names," the man continued.
Many comments about the case
Like any Reddit post, the couple's accounts gained a lot of comments, with the majority of users who commented being in favor of the father.
"As a single parent myself, I've met so many poor kids who have terrible names because their parents clearly didn't think twice about naming them," said one user.
“Certain parents seem not to think about the child and what he will have to go through when choosing certain names. It's disgraceful," another person commented. “You're the only one with real experience, as you have a twin. Your wife should listen to you in this case,” said another user, siding with the dissatisfied husband.
“Twins need to be treated as two individuals, not half of a matching set,” someone else said.
“I have seen many cases like this from while teaching. It is best to treat twins as simply two brothers. They are not meant to be a set," commented another Reddit user.
At this time, it is not known what the couple's decision was and whether they reached an agreement on the naming of their twin children.
