However, once a name is revealed, it often opens the door to plenty of opinions, with some people convinced they can change the parents' minds if they don't approve of the chosen moniker.‌That's exactly what one grandmother-to-be was hoping for after admitting she "hates" the name her daughter has picked for her unborn son.‌On Reddit, she asked: "Am I the a***hole because I tried to get my daughter to change her son’s name? She is naming her baby Kash and I hate it! No one around us likes it either. She’s young and thinks it sounds cute, but I worry about him getting a job when he grows up."‌While she admitted she felt guilty about upsetting her daughter, she said she couldn't shake her concerns that her grandson might face teasing as he gets older.Grandmother’s anxiety over unique baby name and career futureShe added: "With all the names in the world, she picked Kash. She won’t even think of a Kash variant! I also suggested Kash as a middle name. I want to love it, but I don’t."I know it’s not my choice. How do I make myself get used to it? I can’t even think of a cute nickname to call him. Please help. Also, does anyone here like Kash as a name or is my grandson doomed? He’s due in September."‌Commenting on her post, one user said: "That’s actually a pretty popular celebrity baby name. You’ll probably hear of more boys with the same name as he gets older."Another user added: "My grandson's name is Cash. Literally nobody cares. He's turning 15 this year. To be fair, though, his dad wanted to name him Elvis and my daughter vetoed that.‌"Yes, the spelling with a 'K' may seem weird to you, but it's not your kid and there are far worse names out there.

You're not the a***hole, but you are gently tiptoeing into AH territory by not letting it go."A third user said: "If she likes the name, then it's not your decision.

I think it's better than Cash or other wilder names."One more user added: "He is not doomed. It is ugly, but not crazy. As long as she does not name him lampshade or fire extinguisher, he will be just fine.
