No pretending needed here.

My step daughter was 15 when she delivered her ~*youneekly*~ named special snowflake.

It was none of my business what she did.

First baby: Aizik Mathias Everrett James Lastname (Aizik is pronounced Issac)
Second baby: Ethyn Robert Alexxander Lastname (or this one might be Ethyn Robert Alexander Tanner Lastname but we aren't sure. We never got a confirmation whether or not she used Tanner in there or not nor on how to spell Alexander. Her story changes to often to figure out what his legal name is)

She can deliver however she wants, childbirth is a really personal thing and Id have no right at all telling her what to do.

Same with the name really, Id wouldnt tell her she couldnt call her kid that, but I would let it be known if I thought it was shit.

How she decides to have her baby is her business, though I might offer suggestions based upon my experience having children.

As for the name, I would try to be open minded, especially since I had a family member who opposed what I named my son (and still refuses to call him by his name). I would ask how she came by that name and what it means to her. If it seemed, though, that the name was just a joke or just way too stupid (like Superman) I'd tell her she needed to have a little more respect for her baby.

I love my Rome icons so much. I was watching a movie earlier with Polly Walker in it and I actually started laughing when I recognized her since she was playing this super passive character. She will always be Atia to me.

It's her body and her choice, though I would advocate for natural childbirth in a supportive way, and probably try to dissuade her from an unnecessary c-section. In the end, though, it's her decision.

Names are very personal and people give them for personal reasons. If I knew she was going to go with something unusual, but not offensive, we might have a chat about the real consequences of unusual names for things like getting jobs, etc.

Her baby, her bady, her delivery, her choice.
I'd try HARD to talk her out of some ridiculous name, though.
