If you're going to choose a name that is out there - like, really, really out there - then you need to be willing to deal with a few raised eyebrows.

Naming a child is a pretty heavy responsibility. I mean, you've brought this new person into the world, and given it life, but now you've got to give him or her a name that they will be stuck with forever!

Understandably, a lot of new parents nowadays want to give their child a name that stands out from the crowd. After all, there are so many people around the world already sharing the same names, why not give your child something a little different?

But how different is too different? Well, that's debatable.

The truth is, your child is yours and no one has the right to tell you what you can or can't name them. However, if you're going to choose a name that is out there - like, really, really out there - then you need to be willing to deal with a few raised eyebrows.

At least, that's the moral of this story about a mother who canceled her baby shower in a huff after her friends and family made fun of the rather unusual name she chose for her son.

The mother announced the shower was canceled in what can only be described as an aggressive Facebook rant.

So, let's break this down... and yes, you read right, the baby's name is Squire Sebastian Senator.

Dear Members of the Squire Sebastian Senator Babyshower,

I have a really important announcement to make. It brings me pain to have to tell you this, but I am cancelling the event. I will text you soon if you’re invited to my smaller, more inclusive party. At least here no one will judge me.

Ouch... but okay, pretty sure they were judging you and not your baby. Just saying.

Why? Why am I doing this?

Because y’all have been talking s—t about my unborn baby. AN UNBORN CHILD. How can you judge an unborn child?? What is wrong with you??

Okay... but are you drunk now?

To say this frankly, my friends and family have treated me like total s—. They’ve spread rumors and lies about my child. No, I am not crazy. No, I am not mentally unstable. No, I was not drunk when I named my child.

True.

His name is Squire Sebastian Senator.

That is that. 

You cannot force me to change his name.

Hmm

This is that name I was meant to give him.

Not allowed to have a nickname? C'mon!

No, that is not his full name.‘Squire Sebastian Senator’ is only his first name. This is how it will be. He will not be allowed to have a nickname, he is to be called by his full and complete first name.

Ohh... makes sense.

I never knew this family could be so judgmental. We come from a long lasting family of both squires and senators. If you look back in our family tree, the survival of this clan is literally rooted in squiredom.

Fair enough.

We are all related to senators too. This name conveys power. It conveys wealth. It conveys success.

Geez, calm down lady.

My baby’s name WILL be a revolution. It will push people to question everything. Why name your baby boring and over-used names like Joshua, Brian, Sam, Nick, Mark, Bella, Marina, etc… when you can name it something special.

Let's hope so.

Squire Sebastian Senator will live a powerful, wholesome life. His confidence will not diminish simply because his name is out of the ordinary. Instead, he will be extraordinary.

Okay then.

F— you all, fake-ass family. You won’t get to be part of my baby’s life all because you had to judge him.

So there you have it. People had mixed reactions to the post when it was shared online. Here are a few of the comments.

Good luck, Squire Sebastian Senator! We sure do hope you have an amazing life!
