ebu.chIs it unethical to name baby after our couples therapist?
Hey ladies!!! Looking for some advice ❤️ Me and hubby went through a rough patch three months ago after he cheated on me. We had to go to a couples therapist to work things out but they were a HUGE help and now our relationship is stronger than ever!!! We are SO grateful and last night my husband suggested we name baby in tribute. I'm being induced today and we still haven't decided on a name but I LOVED his suggestion. I'm just worried that it might be unethical??? Or weird out the therapist??? I think they'll know it's a tribute because ChatGPT is an uncommon name... would LOVE to hear what you ladies think!
