Momentous occasions can bring out the worst in people, from weddings to baby showers, things can get ugly quick. Recently one mom-to-be took to Facebook to publicly shame her “fake a** family” and friends who were stunned to find out her future baby boy’s name. Accusing them of ridiculing her decision the post announced that all of her baby shower ideas would be canceled.
If you thought that Abcde was a unique name, wait until you read what this mother chose to go with for her baby name, as well as the harsh message she had for her loved ones. Don’t forget to tell us what you think about this whole situation and the interesting names in the comments. (Facebook cover image: ljubaphoto)

Unfortunately for her commenters sided with her friends and family
Why are parents condemning their kids to a life of misery just so they can get attention? If you want undivided attention for an unusual name, then trot your body down to the courts and have YOUR name changed legally. Stop using your kids to get attention. They're going to have a rough enough time with life without you adding misery to it. I can't imagine what this kid is going to go through growing up with such a selfish mother.....
Everytime a parent chooses, shall we say "exceptional", names for their offspring, I think of the song A Boy Named Sue. In that story, the dad names the son Sue to make him tough. Unfortunately, for these kids, the motive is pure parental narcissism.

...why is she judging her unborn child? There’s zero guarantee that this child will be special, famous, wealthy or carry a sword. What you can teach is how to be humble, open, loving. I feel bad for this future family.
She gonna have to teach him how to fight also!
Load More Replies...I hate how she is saying "they're judging my baby". No, they're judging you for your stupidity and probably have every sympathy for this kid, who will be saddled with a terrible name, just 'cause his mommy has no other way of being special. In my country there was a law, I'm not sure if it's still active, but it basically gave the government to sue parents who give their children exceedingly stupid names and change the kid's name to something better.
In my country, there's something like that too. There's always a list with horrible yet hilarious names the government rejected each year.
Load More Replies...Squirt will have a nice future i presume. Oh, sorry, i mispoke. Squire Sebastian Senator, also known as triple S, will have a wonderful future.
i'm so glad that there are rules in germany for that.. the Given name … has to be recognisable as such … doesn't have to be recognizable as male or female anymore since 2008 (needed an obvious second name bevore) (e.g. jamie as a girl needed something like anna as second ) … not allowed to hurt the child welfare because it can be made fun of or has a connection to bad persons or the evil.. (e.g. Judas, Kain or Adolf) … not allowed to hurt the feelings of religios people so no Jesus Or Christus … Nor place or brand name … no surname (exept Herman or Gerhart and stuff like that) … no titel as princess, lord or in this case squire … has to be registered latest 1 month after birrth …can't be legally protected
No things. So "North-West" will not be registered as a name.
Load More Replies...So...looking at my family-tree history.. a good name would be Poor-farmer Johannes Alcholic-tramp Petty-thief for my son? =/
This made me laugh, potato-farmer R or mill-worker-#6 R
Load More Replies...Kids in school will call him Squirt, not Squire.
Load More Replies...Let's assume the guy manages to keep this hell of a name despite all the bullying and become an actual senator. Imagine how stupid his title+name would sound with the word 'senator' repeated twice.
It's like Sheriff Stone, from Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated. His first name IS Sheriff, as his mother wanted him to get that job. Poor Sheriff Sheriff Stone.
Load More Replies...I am sorry, but the mother sounds like a complete moron. She says, "My baby's name WILL be a revolution." Oh really, delusions of grandeur, much?
It feels kind of "too stupid to be real", but we HAVE seen equal levels of stupidity before.
Load More Replies...My fiancee noticed, that there is a strange pattern happening with monthers-to-be. They seem to lose it at some point on one direction or another, and it's not just this article, or ABCDE. We got a at least two examples from our face-to-face aquaintances. Seems something "clicks" in the pregnant women and they lose reasoning.... No offence to anyone, but seriously? Squire? Squire of what? Senator legacy? I can't even... ugh.
i disagree with this partialy. to me it is rather other way around. those women were attention seeking before the oregnancy, and they percieve the kid as a tool to gain that attention. maybe to bring attention on the kid and say- i brought up this one, you gotta thank ME. one way or another, this is wrong.
Load More Replies...When my wife was pregnant with our first child. I proposed "Comte de" (Count of...) as first name - easiest way to be a "noble" :-) It was a joke but she found it not very funny
My former bro-in-law (Italian descent) used to be bug his wife by suggesting "Tiberius". By the way, nothing wrong with "Comte de" -- it reminds me of wine, cheese, and a novel by Alexandre Dumas (père).
Load More Replies...I'd really like to be kept up to date on that child's life, at least until he turns 18.
I'm expecting my first baby, and as we started to think about names, the firts thing we did was "bullying" each one, and crossing the ones more likely to be made fun of... Guess this mom didn't...
My MIL chose names for her sons that were one syllable, very difficult to misspell and could never be shortened to something stupid. It worked.
Load More Replies...Again, I'm baffled and amazed that someone would, not only have sex, but also a baby with women like this.
It could be why we don't see a dad in the mix with an opinion and also why she seems to be throwing a baby shower for herself.
Load More Replies...Yep, people need to take IQ tests before they are allowed to breed- it is decided.
This gives me motivation to name my future kid "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt "
Thats just his first name? Imagine when the kid buys his first house and has to sign Squire Sebastian Senator Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt in full a couple hundred times
My mom was a librarian in the ISD where I live. After she retired she tutored for a while. One of the kids she tutored, was a Jedi (YES, he really was (or so he thought)) and his REAL name was Sir Aslan The Lion. Full name, no joke. He's probably in high school now and he is still probably a Jedi. He was hard to teach and couldn't focus very well, but my mom being the smart woman that she was, convinced him that she was a Jedi Master and he loved working with her. I hope he's doing well, OH! He's brother was Prince Caspian something. This is 100% true, not making this up. If this logs me in under my Facebook name, NO, my name is not really Captain Snuggles, I just thought it was funny and added it one day and it just kind of stuck.
Is she Turkish? The name Aslan is Turkish, it sometimes Kurdish or Persian. Caspian is a sea in that region.
Load More Replies...Sometime ago I read an article about the decision to give a name for a child. Basically it said that you have to worry if the name can be harmfull for the baby (kids are mean, they will be make fun of the name and bully your child because a name).
Yeah. And if all that other crazy stuff was his middle names, so be it. He could be Sebastian SS Smith, which isn't the worst thing ever.
Load More Replies...I'm not even judging the name, but the whole 'no nicknames and also we come from a long line of kings who have ruled westeros since the great landing when y'all get dragons y'all can speak" thing is a bit much
I just checked my family tree. My daughter really should not carry the boring name Anna Louise. According to my research, she should be renamed as Agronomist Theologian Postal worker. And I´ll sue everybody who dares to call her "Aggro".
The brain chemistry really is altered during pregnancy, she fails to accept the intervention, alienated those that cared enough about her to care that she might be making a mistake. She might never see some of these friends again, for what precisely? Principles? It's not good when celebrities do this to their kids, but there is a least a layer of protection being a celebrity offers the child. If you're not a celebrity lady you have nothing to offer this child as a means of stopping ridicule. You can't control that at all, you can't fight this child's every battle. It should be noted that the name can't be his first name, Squire can be his first name the other two are middle names unless hyphenated. If I were her, I would pick something in there, the one she just can't let go of, if it's Sebastian that'd be his first name and then one of the other two could be a middle name. Then move on and start fixing those broken relationships you created by telling off your family and friends.
Isn't Sebastian the name of the lobster in Little Mermaid?
Load More Replies...I get wanting your kid to have a unique name... mine is Amanda. I grew up being called Amanda C. my whole life because there were always at least 2 other Amanda's in my class. It does suck. But not as bad as not being able to fit my FIRST NAME on my ACT bubble form.
That being said, I am legally changing my name now that I'm an adult.
Load More Replies...This child is going to be so discouraged in Kindergarten having to still be trying to write that long first name while all his friends are already at recess. This name will also be difficult to fit on his art projects even if he can get through with enough time to do the project. Not to mention trying to give your kid some sort of prestige with a made up title when you are really making him undignified and feeling odd. I am sorry little one, mommy lost her mind.
Ok, so my child's middle name is "Count James". My husband is a fun fella and it was a comprise for letting me pick the first name. That being said, adding the Count to his name didn't add any claims to land or additional power. He did have a song named after him but that is an entirely different story. His middle name typically gets shortened to CJ because of space. I can't imagine how annoying it going to be filling out forms. Mom is essentially giving this child the gift of additional paperwork and lots of calls to customer service.
I hope he gets to call his mother Dumb Stupid Bimbo and woe betide anyone who calls her different or does not use her full name!
They're not "talking sh*t about an unborn child" you moron! They're "talking sh*t about your attention seeking c**p baby naming skills! You're also a coward by hiding behind an "unborn child" and using it as a shield to fend off criticism of your c**p baby naming skills. Shame on you! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!!!
Another pretentious name from some attention whoring mom-to-be. Think about what you're doing to your kid.
Can you guys at least link the reddit post you steal your s**t from so we can read the rest of the comments?
She should have just combined them to make Squidator- sounds like an amphibian transformer. How's that for powerful?
I have a French first name. It means beloved or darling, and I was named by my great grandmother. I love my name and am proud of it, but nobody in the United States can pronounce it. People from other countries can, not just France, but not Americans. I have been called about 40 other names throughout my life, and have just gotten used to it, but parents who don't think about what their children will have to go through in school and throughout life with a difficult name are just plain CRUEL!!
Your name is Aimé (or Aimée for a girl) I guess?
Load More Replies...The kid isn't going to be called by his full and complete first name. The second someone makes fun of him, he's going to want a nickname. And what if he can't pronounce his own name? What if he has a lisp? What if his friends do? It wouldn't surprise me if the mom homeschools him so he won't know the issues a name can bring till he moves out.
Ah, but don't forget: the teacher HAS to use the poor kid's full first name! (As I reminded the mother of 'Precious Baby Boy Toy'.)
Load More Replies...No one is judging the poor baby. They are concerned that his mother is such an attention seeking a*s that she would give this poor baby a crazy name in order to garner attention for herself. Unfortunately, it's the kid that will suffer for her idiocy.
By insisting on calling him by his full name each and every time, you will have ZERO power over that boy when he gets in deep doodoo. His full name will have ZERO shock value. You will have played out all your cards. What a dummy.
That's only his first name. She'll have forgotten what he did by the time she gets his full name out.
Load More Replies...I consider Squire Sebastian Senator an inspired choice for a boy’s name. It will inspire a lot of other boys to kick his a*s.
I'm getting a "social climber" vibe from this woman. Sounds like she wants to seem extraordinarily special through her child's name. Bragging. She also seems to think that she knows what her child's personality and skills will be. She can't control what the child's friends will call him for a nickname either.
People who are this selfish should not be allowed to have kids ever =_=
This woman should go to a mental hospital and not be allowed to raise this child. For real.
Just a note: David Bowie named his son Zowie - who later changed his name to Duncan later on in life.
Sorry, but this woman is a moron. First off, good luck ensuring that everyone uses this entire ridiculous name all the time. Second, good luck to the little booger eater with filling out forms. Half of that stupid name won't fit. Third, assuming he grows up to be a normal human, can I be around when he has to sign a bunch of paper work? Buying a house alone will cause him to get carpel tunnel. $50 says either she doesn't actually name him that or he changes it as his earliest opportunity.
Can't you just see this poor guy at the altar???
Load More Replies...It is my son's destiny to become a character in a cheap bodice ripping romance novel!! He will be the The Noble Loyal Wealthy One who gets the girl after she is ruined by the Arrogant Bad Profligate One. And that is that.
Does she realize the baby will disown the family for this and change his name legally. Titles are not meant to be in a name. Thks is how parents cause mental health issues. Change your name to that instead and she the unborn child from bullying you selfish parent!!!!
I knew a woman (I can't make this stuff up!) who named her kids Mister and Miss--"so they'd always have respect." Can't you just imagine the future Mrs. Miss Doe? People!
Load More Replies...The other kids in school are going to make fun of and bully him. Not to mention how hard it will be for him to learn how to write it out when he’s five. Not a good choice at all. Poor little guy
Good luck for that kid just trying to write his name on his homework papers in first grade.
Can't you at least just name him Sebastien and put the weirder stuff in his middle name if you MUST? Also, asking people to ALWAYS say the full 3 separate words/names of his first name is ridiculous and comes off as very cunty.
What a nut job. Your poor family and friends were trying to help you see how absolutely insane your name choice really was. That poor kid. Studies have shown kids with weird names are a target for bullying, higher rates of depression and mental disorders. I feel bad for her kid
wtf is this lady on crack no offense but that child is going to go home every day crying because they made fun of his name but hey she dosen't care shes the one who named him why not just call him sebastian
What a c-word! I feel so bad for that poor kid, growing up with such narcissistic b***h for a "mother".
Stupid American Millennial Mum whom thinks she is entitled to control her babies life before its even born, not allowed nicknames -is she for real. Everyone gets a nickname eventually and you cannot control that. Sebastian is nice [ its Greek in origin and means "venerable" or revered but she needs to ditch the others, don't care if she is from a long line of Squires [ Which are English not American] or Senators. Just as bad as calling your kid after a compass point like, kids can rib other kids for even the basic of names. She needs to see sense regardless of the pregnancy brain, her family are judging her not her baby, in fact they want to protect him from ridicule in the future-what an idiot.
I get you don't want your kid to have a bog standard name but a name for a kid should not be Squire Sebastian Senator it's just really f***ing stupid think how you would feel if that was your name. Not calling a child by a nickname as well that just stops your child having any identity of their own bloody hell!
If SSS are all first names, hell knows what the middles names are going to be.
Let's not forget that director Duncan Jones was born Zowie Bowie and I'm betting Apple Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow's and Chris Martin's daughter, will probably change her name when she's old enough. There is no way Squire Sebastian Senator (plus whatever his last name is) will keep that moniker throughout his life. Not unless he enjoys learning how to fight at an early age!
I have to agree with the other comments. Having worked in the mental health industry I have to agree that this name will cause this child to be singled out for ridicule. Kids don't want to be singled out for bullying. They want to be part of the group. All having a different name does is make them feel they don't fit in.
That poor woman is totally NUTS!!! I feel so sorry that the little child will have to go through life with this name!!! He is going to be bullied beyond belief. Why didn't the selfish mother think about this before she decided on this asinine name?!?!?
That child will be teased and bullied by other kids as some of his earliest memories with his playmates. As such, he's going to end up resenting his mother, if not hating her outright. I hope she enjoys reaping what she sows.
The woman should be done for child abuse! She is setting the child up for ridicule and bullying before it is even born, all because of her selfish stupidity.
Who the hell does she think she is JC the second coming ( that’s a name less crazy than the one hundred she chose) She sounds like a redneck 😂 Poor child.
use the baby's full name, ignore the critics and Take the Gifts. Then disown everyone
Yes! At the very least this freakout should have come AFTER the gifts were opened and gift cards spent.
Load More Replies...Only a total Fruit Loop, Nut Job or Idiot that doesn't think their child will not be tortured due to having a weird name, calls their offspring names like that.
But don't you realize, he's destined to Grow Up And Support His Poor Mother? That woman is a total idiot. And yes, it should be grounds for CPS to yank that kid the moment it goes on a BC.
Load More Replies...The name is fine, but it will be shortened, affectionately. He will probably be called "Seb" by his peers, short for Sebastian, and what's wrong with that? I expect the mom will shorten it, too, when she is calling him, getting ready for school in the morning rush. It's a shame she feels bothered enough to cancel the baby shower as this will alienate her friends, possibly for good, but especially at the time when she really needs support, ie the pregnancy. The child may feel guilty, too, when he's old enough to understand what happened.
Personally, having an uncommon l name myself, I can really relate to this kid. It's tough for a lot of people to grasp, but having a "different" name is hard. You might like it. You might think you did a great job naming your kid because they're not the same as everyone else and that's good, right? What most have forgotten by the time they have grown up, however, is that when you're a kid, you don't want to be different. You want to fit in, be part of the crowd. And when everyone around you is mispronouncing your name, it's hard to feel the same as everyone else. I am not saying I do not like my name. This is mostly for children that I have encountered with really...strange names that I always feels sorry for. Cheers to you guys - you'll be 18 soon enough.
And also, if, by the time you're an adult, you don't like your "common" name, you can always change it :-)
Load More Replies...The mother of ABCDE must have had another baby... people today, ugh
I hope this kid turns out to be a little smartass. Every time he gets in trouble, she HAS to say his full name. If she tries to shorten it out of frustration, he can scream, THAT’S NOT MY NAME! SAY IT RIGHT!
Calling a child by his or her full name is supposed to be reserved for maximum "you are in a world of trouble" situations. If Mommy uses it every time, the kid is going to have even more problems than that name will already bring him.
Load More Replies...Oh this poor, poor child! Not because of his...well, ridiculous...name, but because his mother has already determined what type life he is required to live. She KNOWS she owns this child and he is not meant to be an individual with his own beliefs, choices, etc. Nope, he is to be a representative of her values, beliefs and choices. She wants him to represent what she believes important: fame, fortune, power, prestige. What happens when he turns out to be a perfectly normal, average kid who wants to live an average, happy, well-balanced life and not pursue fame and fortune? I suppose she'll shame him into pretending to be everything he isn't or perhaps just disown him. Pity the child!
oh wow...this kid has some lofty things to live up to. She thinks he is going to be confident because of this name? No he is going to be in therapy. And for not meeting her ridiculous expectations i'm sure...not to mention bullying. People are not ridiculing her child....they are ridiculing HER. She is unstable, obviously and not thinking about what this child will have to go through. I come from a family of Ranchers, Pioneers and Artists........should i have my poor son's first name be RANCHER PIONEER ARTIST???? nuts.
I have an unusual name, most people think it is so awesome. For a lot of years, I hated it, because hardly anyone could pronounce it with my very polish maiden last name. While I like the reasoning behind my name, the feminine form of Luke, it took me a while to love it. To have 3 names in the first name is really some kind of special type of stupid. Unless your child is from a ROYAL family, there isn't a need for all of that. You want to feel special, change your name, but don't project that onto your child.
Lucretia is an ancient name that's been around for centuries.
Load More Replies...I feel bad for the kid. This woman is worse than a Kardashian when it comes to this name and that’s saying something.
I wished I could believe this is fake, but I've seen enough actual ridiculous behavior to just assume it unfortunately might not be. But I hope it is, for that kid's sake.
Load More Replies...I think she's naming him more for herself than him. Any rational person would realize that this little boy will be made fun of most of his life. It's selfish!!!!
My own theory is that kids should be given a noncontroversial first name, then parents can go wild over the middle name. When the kid's old enough, let him/her decide what to be called.
I always thought that Shiloh Pitt’s name was in danger of a spoonerism.
SSA doesn’t have the system for more than 26 characters for the whole name. So the government will shorten it on his permanent records. SMH 🤦🏽♀️ my heart goes out to her. Ah new moms
Thank you! It'll be shortened on the first day of kindergarten!
Load More Replies...I like how she refers to her unborn child as J'zargo from Skyrim talk about himself: "There is much for J'zargo to be sure of. There is skill in magic, there is charm, and there is a strong will. J'zargo will be succesful, of this there is no doubt."
It makes Abcde (Ab-Cedee) sound sweet and normal, and yeah like other comments if that was his full name so he only used the 1st one day to day it wouldn’t be so bad, poor kad when he has to kearn to write ALL of that long name out for school, as well as any ‘middle names’
When I went to school the teacher had to call each and every child by their full first name. I believe it cut down on some of the stupidity.
Load More Replies...Well everyone is missing the most important thing about this woman's pain. "This was the name I was MEANT to give him," she wrote. It was foretold by prophets, written in the Great Book of Destiny, and in all multiverses, he will be known by this name. C'mon people, you wouldn't make fun of a kid for other dna-core-related issues, it's not like there was personal choice in the matter...
Y’all is on the list of leading indicators he’ll be neither a squire nor a senator.
Well it's not that bad compared to Spurgeon Duggar. Poor fish... I mean, poor kid.
With that family, my sympathies are definitely with the fish!
Load More Replies...It's just too bad you can't take the poor baby from her before it gets born (and name it something appropriate)...
Why not Major Major Major Major as in "Catch 22"? Or more simply "Bob Newhart" who played the character in the movie version? It would be easier to achieve and explain to strangers. .
if it's a he, he will learn to fight (or get used to being stomped) if it's a she, she will cry a lot and grow up hating her mother, who is batshit insane, obviously. what of the father? no say in this? or did he run once he found out how what a nut job he impregnated. coward for running, stupid for boinking and insane for staying. maybe he killed hisself...
sometimes the mother doens't allow the father to decide anything. i didn't let him either, but i prefer the name Arthur over Jury, Konrad or Norbu and such xD
Load More Replies...If your family doesn't try to help you recognize what is a good name, your friends will. Maybe is isn't so much a criticism as it is an observation many are offering to you. Sebastian is a great name, why not just trim it down? Seems more like you'r trying to give him a title, which is something he will need to earn. Just an observation mind you.
Triple S, catchy! At least she didn't try World Wide Web uh oh...what have I done?
That's as weird as saying, Hi! My son's name is American Riviera Orchard! And that is how everyone will address him...AMERICAN RIVIERA ORCHARD! No nicknames! We come from a long line of American orchards, and his name is going to empower him!
I hope he grows up and becomes a senator. Also I bet this mom's home is entirely beige. Just give the poor bubby a normal name but switch one if the vowels with a "Y" and call it a day.
My first thought was that his name isn't all that bad. But then she said no nicknames. Forget that. I would totally be calling him Seb.
What a ridiculous stance that this woman has taken.. please woman, they aren’t making fun your chosen one. They are pointing out you complete lack of reality.
I think that that is a lovely name, though if they want a nickname, they should be allowed one, as it is what they will be called. I had always wanted to name my child Hikibi, but people said that I ahould not name my child "a dog's name" and I eventually gave up and setteled on Kyru for the name of any future child. My advice for you is not to give up. You name this child according to what you think they will carry in their lives. You do you, girl.
I'd like to talk with this lady. My actual name is "Joke" which is a Dutch variant of Johanna and isn't at all pronounced as it looks. I don't even live in an English speaking country and have to deal with the unwanted attention my name attracts. For that poor boy it's going to be a complete and utter nightmare...
Long before school and those issues, the doctor or dentist offices will have to deal with such a name, they will first be shocked, then to deal with the strange mother, all hell will brake loose, the mother will go ballistic if they do not use the boys' full name, my heart aches for that poor child !!!
I'll admit, it's a strange name but if it's something she likes it's her choice. People should be a little nicer about it. Would I name my child that? No. Am I going to be rude to her about something that is none of my business? No
How sad yet at the same time how goddamn ridiculous! You stupid woman no one is condemning your child only you. How could you do this to a child? This little boy will be the subject of bullying and do you really think anyone will ever call him by his entire name? not even his father will do that. Put yourself in that childs' shoes how would you like it? Your family are not your problem and who can blame them? you are the problem and that kid will have to live with your ridiculous attitude until he is old enough to change his name....and he will! You will make a laughing stock of him do you not consider his feelings? He will be one miserable little boy and it will be your fault. If you are so keen to attract attention to yourself, then go change your own name and give this kid a fighting chance.
And thought that the most ridiculous name I was able to think of was Streen Guinness...
She achieved her goal.. It does push me To question everything.. First and foremost HER sanity. Btw, people are judging her, nit her unborn child. Why do idiot people have To have kids?
I thinkt his woman is in the same ball park as the woman who is telling people not only what to wear to her wedding (including styling by weight) but also telling people they need to spend $1000+ for clothes to wear to the reception. I agree with all the above comments wholeheartedly.
I really don't see anything wrong with the name, except for the length of it as a first name. But in the Hawaiian tradition, they have long names that are meaningful...so it shouldn't come as a surprise that other cultures or people would do the same. This sounds like a very strong name. Sebastian is a fave of mine, actually. People assume that the kid will hate it but I've heard worst and the kids are perfectly fine with it. To each their own. Besides.. If Squire Sebastian Senator makes the decision to shorten or change his name...it should be his choice. Not anyone elses. Hopefully, his mom will respect his choice if he does.
What in the hell is wrong with these parents to be? More proof that people should have to pass a stupidity test before being allowed to have sex. There is so much bullying in the world based on appearance, gender, race, religion and more so why give your kid a name that is guaranteed to paint a target on his/her back? F**k these self obsessed asshats who seem to think they are some special snowflake in a `who can come up with the stupidest name` contest
He will not be allowed to have a nickname?! NOT ALLOWED?!? This poor child will probably seek to legally change his name as soon as possible. If they wanted to show there family’s ‘heritage of squires and senators’, make his middle name Squire or something. And stop torturing children so you can have attention for yourself. This mother should have known what she was in for when she chose that... I can’t even call it a name...
THE MOTHER NEEDS HELP !!! THE CHILD STILL NEEDS A PLEASANT NAME ;; WHY MAKE THE CHILD SUFFER ;;; HE WILL MOST LIKELY WANT TO CHANGE IT AS SOON AS HE HEARS IT HOPEFULLY BEFORE ENTERING SCHOOL;;;IT,S THE MOTER THAT IS A FOOL ;;
Family is not there to blindly support you throughout all your dumbass decisions.

I had one man name his son something both unpronounceable and unspellable. HE claimed it came from the Bible; we figured someone tossed a Scrabble set in the air, and he used what was right-side up and facing him. I might add Daddy couldn't read, so how he 'found it in the Bible' I can't tell you.
Load More Replies...Sebastian is a fine name, but the other two, need to be re thought about. Like Sebastian as the first name, then Squire and his last name. Just leave out the senator part. Don’t pull a Kim Kardashian on your son to be.
She is beyond cruel! Every kid in Grammer School to High School is going to ridicule that poor baby. She thinks her family is cruel. she needs to look in the mirror.
Wow. Just wow. The unmitigated gall to believe she can control reality and stop Squire form having a nickname. Go ahead lady. Stop his friends from calling him Ira, Sennie, Seb, etc. Oh thta's right. Kids are unwaveringly obedient. By just telling little SSS that he's forbidden from having a nickname, he'll always tell his friends to call him byt all three first names (Somebody doesn't understand the concept of First, does she). Anyway, did anybody else immediately think of power, wealth, success when reading that name. I sure didn't.
They will call him Sabastian anyway. So whats wrong with that. Think about the child when hes in school.
Seriously, this name could have been named for a pet dog or cat but never a human. They'd be miserable
Ya know, I used to think I had a weird name, it's just Ruth, but I've changed my mind the last ten or so years. What are these people thinking? I know, I know, they really aren't thinking, but still. Why are so hell bent on giving your child a seriously stupid name that is going to make their lives hell just so you can feel special? Didn't get enough attention when you were a child maybe? I seriously hope this poor little baby changes his name when he grows up to something easier, even "Sue", as @PeachPossum mentioned, would be better.
She should try yelling that name out the door for when he's older - that will teach her it's too long. She'll tire of saying that whole thing all the time. She'll probably end up calling him a nickname.
Oh dear, I hope she'll be lenient when his younger sibling Princess Penelope Politician messes up his name. The unusual name could be fine, but insisting that all and sunder say the name in full is a bit much. He should have the right to ask his classmates to call him "Sebastian" if he prefers that. An unusual name isn't all doom and gloom. Abby Hoffman's son, america, went by "Alan" while Hoffman was on the run from the law. At 15, the boy declared himself "America Hoffman" to a impress a girl in his class. He's kept the name (the girl smiled, but that's as far as the courtship went).
People, this is an attempt at humor. It is a joke, a satire based on all the people who give their children ridiculous names.
Not necessarily. You would not BELIEVE the names I've seen on Birth Certificates. Precious Baby Boy Toy--his first name--is still the worst, but there was another man named Lasagna, and a few others. The girls had it worse, BTW. Anything that ended in an A was fair game.

But come on 3 first name than are f*****g ridiculous put together is cruel and going to open him up to ridicule his entire life!
The woman should be done for child abuse! She is setting the child up for ridicule and bullying before it is even born! All because of her selfish stupidity.
Must be a first time mom. Wait'll the kid is 2, being a normal, curious & destructive 2 year old, throwing tantrums in the middle of the grocery aisle cuz he didn't get the cookies he wanted or when he's 7, 8, 9...12...17... & refuses to come away from the video game console cuz he's on level 812 and he just has to get to level 813! His friends will call him "Squirrel" & it'll stick until he graduates. All the things will happen & this mom will get tired of yelling that exhaustively long title & shorten it to "Squire."
Just hope he never come to the UK; "Squire" is a way many men address each other over here (apart from being Lord of the Manor!).
Like to see how long she keeps the full use of his name, after she has told him off for the twentieth time in a day.
I actually like the name just fine. It absolutely is no ones biz . The letter to invited guest cancelling shower, not so much.
I completely understand with her being upset and thinking that people were judging her name choice. HOWEVER... to say that he will not be allowed to have nicknames. Are you kidding me? I personally think name choice is fine but no one is going to say all three names all the time. That is just not realistic or fun. Names are no revolutions!
I grew up with a stupid name. Everyone now says "oh that's a lovely name". And maybe it is. For an adult. As a woman who went through school with a stupid name - and the unpleasant nicknames that arise from a stupid name - I think this woman and others like her are disgustingly selfish, and pretty damn stupid. My mother was given a choice of 2 stupid names and picked the least stupid...it's still pretty bad though.
Werid name aside... you CANNOT force people to call your kid by the entire string of first names. So are you gonna teach SSS not to respond unless he hears all three names? Or three parts of his first name?
Just because we like different names or unusual things doesn't mean we should follow through. I know you believe that you are totally right in this but you are not the one who has to live with it. Remember that he will have to go through his whole life being the butt of jokes. Remember the song, about the man named Sue?
As I told the mother of Precious Baby Boy Toy, I don't care what you callhim at him, but put something he can live with on the birth certificate!

She is going thru a difficult time, and seems to be confused about what is a sensible name for her man-child. On another note... I was shopping the other day in a metro Atlanta store and heard a frantic mother calling her child... "Miracle!! Miracle!! Where are you, son??? Miracle!! Come Here!! -- I stopped dead in my tracks to see who she was and what that poor kid looked like... Maybe he was her 'miracle child' -- but to Name him Miracle??? People, please!
Worse, and I swear it's true--When we lived in Pennsylvania (mid-1960s), state law required that a birth certificate be issued within a week after a birth, even if the parents had not chosen a name. The first name would show up as "Male" or "Female" (sorry, no other choices then) until a name was chosen, whereupon the certificate would be reissued. My mother was teaching in an inner city school, and had a student whose legal name was still "Female". Turns out her mother liked the name, and pronounced it "Fehmolly". Female Smith. I wonder whatever happened to her.

she is just asking for kids to bully him. It is lengthy and I might say boring.
I was on the mom's side initially, thinking that the child's full name was Squire Sebastian Senator. Squire's a nice name and spelled correctly. But that it is all the first name is a bit much.
If you you go to great lengths to concoct a name, be ready for the backlash
Squire Sebastian Senator? I named my son Jake, maybe I should have named him Doctor Lawyer CEO?
The acronym for Squire Sebastian Senator is "SSS." That kid's going to get hissed at a lot. Maybe he'll change his name to "He-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named."
Is his last name something starting with an "S"? Smith? Stewart? Simpson? I wish it is... then it could be abbreviated as "SSSS", or SS2 ("ES ES Squared", for his friends!)

Has anyone stopped to think this woman might need medication. She said the name will start a revolution and he has to be called by all 3 names without a nickname ever. That's sound like manic ranting to me.
Having been pregnant, I believe it is the hormones that are clouding her judgment. While Sqire Sebastián Senator is an extraordinary beginning of a name, you must consider that kids are cruel. The second they hear that they will make him their joke, tease & bully him. Or worse he may be the bully so he is not the butt of the jokes. There is nothing wrong with giving him the name, bur come time for him to go to school he needs to be be given the opportunity to decide what he wants to be called. It's only fair.

Rational people: "Why the hell has Beyoncé named her son 'Sir'?" This "mom": "B***h please. I got her beat. My son will be called Squire Sebastian Senator." Me: "I wonder if caves are rent-free in this economy."
I have a practice of knowing the difference of when friends are asking for my advice or if they are simply letting me know something. If they've already made the decision, and are simply informing me, I'm going to acknowledge what was said but not share any negative judgments.. I doubt the mother was asking for advice from anyone, and so regardless of what her co-horts felt, they could have kept to a neutral response.
Regardless of the practicality of the name the mother chose, I question the judgment of people who were questioning her choice. I doubt she was asking anyone for advice on naming. When I have friends who announce decisions (and don't ask my opinion), I keep to a neutral reply, remembering the saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all".
My mother said her standard for naming a baby is whether the name sounds good after the words Supreme Court Justice. That's why my daughters have classic (boring) names.
I hope for the sake of her child she changes her mind and names him something more usual and simple in the end. And really, how can anyone control if someone else or themselves gets called by a nickname sometimes in their life? She needs a reality check. And no one is or was criticizing her baby, they were and are criticizing her and her naming skills.
So if the baby does become a senator later in life will people call him senator Senator? Why not just name him Sebastian? It's a good name. I don't understand people who are "bored by normal names". If you want an unusual name just look outside your culture or in myths and legends. Don't name your kids abcde or squire or other crazy stuff like tv or ketchup or potato. For example I know exactly zero people who are called Joshua. It might be a common name in the USA but it's not in Eastern Europe or Asia./// And I thought N. Tonks from Harry Potter had it bad...
Because common names are an insult to your child. As if they aren’t worth putting the effort of thinking of something other than Laura or Jason. That’s not even trying. It’s lazy and it’s rude. The kid is going to have to live his whole life just being one of millions of other Michaels. It seems like an ugly thing to do to a kid. But I completely agree that people need to pass on calling kids dumb s**t like Squire, Beebop or Rocket when there are perfectly good uncommon names from Asia and the Middle East. People are giving their kids the type of names you give a dog or cat. But I’d rather have a cat name than a boring name like Mary.

She did get a bit crazy when she talked about nicknames, but I can see why she's upset and being pregnant is not easy. It would be good to know what middle names she's adding, but when she has time to think, she'll realize that no one ever will call her son by the triple first name, not even her. "Squire Sebastian Senator, go to your room!" sounds powerful, but saying it every time you address your kid? So in real life he'll go by Sebastian or Seb, or Bastian, and the full name will only be on official documents. My daughter has a double last name, mine and her dad's. Since I divorced him long ago I almost never use the 2nd portion of her last name when enrolling her in classes, filling out forms etc.
And at some point, she's going to be disqualified/fired/expelled/not considered because her legal and "common usage" names don't match up. "We couldn't fin you in the university database under that name, so we eliminated you from consideration." For her sake, i suggest a legal name change to just your last name.

I just checked my family tree. My daughter really should not carry the boring name Anna Louise. According to my research, she should be renamed as Agronomist Theologian Postal worker. And I´ll sue everybody who dares to call her "Aggro".
The brain chemistry really is altered during pregnancy, she fails to accept the intervention, alienated those that cared enough about her to care that she might be making a mistake. She might never see some of these friends again, for what precisely? Principles? It's not good when celebrities do this to their kids, but there is a least a layer of protection being a celebrity offers the child. If you're not a celebrity lady you have nothing to offer this child as a means of stopping ridicule. You can't control that at all, you can't fight this child's every battle. It should be noted that the name can't be his first name, Squire can be his first name the other two are middle names unless hyphenated. If I were her, I would pick something in there, the one she just can't let go of, if it's Sebastian that'd be his first name and then one of the other two could be a middle name. Then move on and start fixing those broken relationships you created by telling off your family and friends.

Ok, so my child's middle name is "Count James". My husband is a fun fella and it was a comprise for letting me pick the first name.

I'm getting a "social climber" vibe from this woman. Sounds like she wants to seem extraordinarily special through her child's name. Bragging. She also seems to think that she knows what her child's personality and skills will be. She can't control what the child's friends will call him for a nickname either.
People who are this selfish should not be allowed to have kids ever =_=
This woman should go to a mental hospital and not be allowed to raise this child. For real.
Just a note: David Bowie named his son Zowie - who later changed his name to Duncan later on in life.
Sorry, but this woman is a moron. First off, good luck ensuring that everyone uses this entire ridiculous name all the time. Second, good luck to the little booger eater with filling out forms. Half of that stupid name won't fit. Third, assuming he grows up to be a normal human, can I be around when he has to sign a bunch of paper work? Buying a house alone will cause him to get carpel tunnel. $50 says either she doesn't actually name him that or he changes it as his earliest opportunity.

Does she realize the baby will disown the family for this and change his name legally. Titles are not meant to be in a name. Thks is how parents cause mental health issues. Change your name to that instead and she the unborn child from bullying you selfish parent!!!!

Good luck for that kid just trying to write his name on his homework papers in first grade.
Can't you at least just name him Sebastien and put the weirder stuff in his middle name if you MUST? Also, asking people to ALWAYS say the full 3 separate words/names of his first name is ridiculous and comes off as very cunty.
What a nut job. Your poor family and friends were trying to help you see how absolutely insane your name choice really was. That poor kid. Studies have shown kids with weird names are a target for bullying, higher rates of depression and mental disorders. I feel bad for her kid
wtf is this lady on crack no offense but that child is going to go home every day crying because they made fun of his name but hey she dosen't care shes the one who named him why not just call him sebastian
What a c-word! I feel so bad for that poor kid, growing up with such narcissistic b***h for a "mother".
Stupid American Millennial Mum whom thinks she is entitled to control her babies life before its even born, not allowed nicknames -is she for real. Everyone gets a nickname eventually and you cannot control that. Sebastian is nice [ its Greek in origin and means "venerable" or revered but she needs to ditch the others, don't care if she is from a long line of Squires [ Which are English not American] or Senators. Just as bad as calling your kid after a compass point like, kids can rib other kids for even the basic of names. She needs to see sense regardless of the pregnancy brain, her family are judging her not her baby, in fact they want to protect him from ridicule in the future-what an idiot.
I get you don't want your kid to have a bog standard name but a name for a kid should not be Squire Sebastian Senator it's just really f***ing stupid think how you would feel if that was your name. Not calling a child by a nickname as well that just stops your child having any identity of their own bloody hell!
If SSS are all first names, hell knows what the middles names are going to be.
Let's not forget that director Duncan Jones was born Zowie Bowie and I'm betting Apple Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow's and Chris Martin's daughter, will probably change her name when she's old enough. There is no way Squire Sebastian Senator (plus whatever his last name is) will keep that moniker throughout his life. Not unless he enjoys learning how to fight at an early age!
I have to agree with the other comments. Having worked in the mental health industry I have to agree that this name will cause this child to be singled out for ridicule. Kids don't want to be singled out for bullying. They want to be part of the group. All having a different name does is make them feel they don't fit in.
That poor woman is totally NUTS!!! I feel so sorry that the little child will have to go through life with this name!!! He is going to be bullied beyond belief. Why didn't the selfish mother think about this before she decided on this asinine name?!?!?
That child will be teased and bullied by other kids as some of his earliest memories with his playmates. As such, he's going to end up resenting his mother, if not hating her outright. I hope she enjoys reaping what she sows.
The woman should be done for child abuse! She is setting the child up for ridicule and bullying before it is even born, all because of her selfish stupidity.
Who the hell does she think she is JC the second coming ( that’s a name less crazy than the one hundred she chose) She sounds like a redneck 😂 Poor child.
use the baby's full name, ignore the critics and Take the Gifts. Then disown everyone

Load More Replies...The name is fine, but it will be shortened, affectionately. He will probably be called "Seb" by his peers, short for Sebastian, and what's wrong with that? I expect the mom will shorten it, too, when she is calling him, getting ready for school in the morning rush. It's a shame she feels bothered enough to cancel the baby shower as this will alienate her friends, possibly for good, but especially at the time when she really needs support, ie the pregnancy. The child may feel guilty, too, when he's old enough to understand what happened.
Personally, having an uncommon l name myself, I can really relate to this kid. It's tough for a lot of people to grasp, but having a "different" name is hard. You might like it. You might think you did a great job naming your kid because they're not the same as everyone else and that's good, right? What most have forgotten by the time they have grown up, however, is that when you're a kid, you don't want to be different. You want to fit in, be part of the crowd. And when everyone around you is mispronouncing your name, it's hard to feel the same as everyone else. I am not saying I do not like my name. This is mostly for children that I have encountered with really...strange names that I always feels sorry for. Cheers to you guys - you'll be 18 soon enough.
And also, if, by the time you're an adult, you don't like your "common" name, you can always change it :-)

I hope this kid turns out to be a little smartass. Every time he gets in trouble, she HAS to say his full name. If she tries to shorten it out of frustration, he can scream, THAT’S NOT MY NAME! SAY IT RIGHT!
Calling a child by his or her full name is supposed to be reserved for maximum "you are in a world of trouble" situations. If Mommy uses it every time, the kid is going to have even more problems than that name will already bring him.
Load More Replies...Oh this poor, poor child! Not because of his...well, ridiculous...name, but because his mother has already determined what type life he is required to live. She KNOWS she owns this child and he is not meant to be an individual with his own beliefs, choices, etc. Nope, he is to be a representative of her values, beliefs and choices. She wants him to represent what she believes important: fame, fortune, power, prestige. What happens when he turns out to be a perfectly normal, average kid who wants to live an average, happy, well-balanced life and not pursue fame and fortune? I suppose she'll shame him into pretending to be everything he isn't or perhaps just disown him. Pity the child!
oh wow...this kid has some lofty things to live up to. She thinks he is going to be confident because of this name? No he is going to be in therapy. And for not meeting her ridiculous expectations i'm sure...not to mention bullying. People are not ridiculing her child....they are ridiculing HER. She is unstable, obviously and not thinking about what this child will have to go through. I come from a family of Ranchers, Pioneers and Artists........should i have my poor son's first name be RANCHER PIONEER ARTIST???? nuts.
I have an unusual name, most people think it is so awesome. For a lot of years, I hated it, because hardly anyone could pronounce it with my very polish maiden last name. While I like the reasoning behind my name, the feminine form of Luke, it took me a while to love it. To have 3 names in the first name is really some kind of special type of stupid. Unless your child is from a ROYAL family, there isn't a need for all of that. You want to feel special, change your name, but don't project that onto your child.
Lucretia is an ancient name that's been around for centuries.

My own theory is that kids should be given a noncontroversial first name, then parents can go wild over the middle name. When the kid's old enough, let him/her decide what to be called.
I always thought that Shiloh Pitt’s name was in danger of a spoonerism.

It makes Abcde (Ab-Cedee) sound sweet and normal, and yeah like other comments if that was his full name so he only used the 1st one day to day it wouldn’t be so bad, poor kad when he has to kearn to write ALL of that long name out for school, as well as any ‘middle names’

That's as weird as saying, Hi! My son's name is American Riviera Orchard! And that is how everyone will address him...AMERICAN RIVIERA ORCHARD! No nicknames! We come from a long line of American orchards, and his name is going to empower him!
I hope he grows up and becomes a senator. Also I bet this mom's home is entirely beige. Just give the poor bubby a normal name but switch one if the vowels with a "Y" and call it a day.
My first thought was that his name isn't all that bad. But then she said no nicknames. Forget that. I would totally be calling him Seb.
What a ridiculous stance that this woman has taken.. please woman, they aren’t making fun your chosen one. They are pointing out you complete lack of reality.
I think that that is a lovely name, though if they want a nickname, they should be allowed one, as it is what they will be called. I had always wanted to name my child Hikibi, but people said that I ahould not name my child "a dog's name" and I eventually gave up and setteled on Kyru for the name of any future child. My advice for you is not to give up. You name this child according to what you think they will carry in their lives. You do you, girl.
I'd like to talk with this lady. My actual name is "Joke" which is a Dutch variant of Johanna and isn't at all pronounced as it looks. I don't even live in an English speaking country and have to deal with the unwanted attention my name attracts. For that poor boy it's going to be a complete and utter nightmare...
Long before school and those issues, the doctor or dentist offices will have to deal with such a name, they will first be shocked, then to deal with the strange mother, all hell will brake loose, the mother will go ballistic if they do not use the boys' full name, my heart aches for that poor child !!!
I'll admit, it's a strange name but if it's something she likes it's her choice. People should be a little nicer about it. Would I name my child that? No. Am I going to be rude to her about something that is none of my business? No
How sad yet at the same time how goddamn ridiculous! You stupid woman no one is condemning your child only you. How could you do this to a child? This little boy will be the subject of bullying and do you really think anyone will ever call him by his entire name? not even his father will do that. Put yourself in that childs' shoes how would you like it? Your family are not your problem and who can blame them? you are the problem and that kid will have to live with your ridiculous attitude until he is old enough to change his name....and he will! You will make a laughing stock of him do you not consider his feelings? He will be one miserable little boy and it will be your fault. If you are so keen to attract attention to yourself, then go change your own name and give this kid a fighting chance.
And thought that the most ridiculous name I was able to think of was Streen Guinness...
She achieved her goal.. It does push me To question everything.. First and foremost HER sanity. Btw, people are judging her, nit her unborn child. Why do idiot people have To have kids?
I thinkt his woman is in the same ball park as the woman who is telling people not only what to wear to her wedding (including styling by weight) but also telling people they need to spend $1000+ for clothes to wear to the reception. I agree with all the above comments wholeheartedly.
I really don't see anything wrong with the name, except for the length of it as a first name. But in the Hawaiian tradition, they have long names that are meaningful...so it shouldn't come as a surprise that other cultures or people would do the same. This sounds like a very strong name. Sebastian is a fave of mine, actually. People assume that the kid will hate it but I've heard worst and the kids are perfectly fine with it. To each their own. Besides.. If Squire Sebastian Senator makes the decision to shorten or change his name...it should be his choice. Not anyone elses. Hopefully, his mom will respect his choice if he does.
What in the hell is wrong with these parents to be? More proof that people should have to pass a stupidity test before being allowed to have sex. There is so much bullying in the world based on appearance, gender, race, religion and more so why give your kid a name that is guaranteed to paint a target on his/her back? F**k these self obsessed asshats who seem to think they are some special snowflake in a `who can come up with the stupidest name` contest
He will not be allowed to have a nickname?! NOT ALLOWED?!? This poor child will probably seek to legally change his name as soon as possible. If they wanted to show there family’s ‘heritage of squires and senators’, make his middle name Squire or something. And stop torturing children so you can have attention for yourself. This mother should have known what she was in for when she chose that... I can’t even call it a name...
THE MOTHER NEEDS HELP !!! THE CHILD STILL NEEDS A PLEASANT NAME ;; WHY MAKE THE CHILD SUFFER ;;; HE WILL MOST LIKELY WANT TO CHANGE IT AS SOON AS HE HEARS IT HOPEFULLY BEFORE ENTERING SCHOOL;;;IT,S THE MOTER THAT IS A FOOL ;;

Wow. Just wow. The unmitigated gall to believe she can control reality and stop Squire form having a nickname. Go ahead lady. Stop his friends from calling him Ira, Sennie, Seb, etc. Oh thta's right. Kids are unwaveringly obedient. By just telling little SSS that he's forbidden from having a nickname, he'll always tell his friends to call him byt all three first names (Somebody doesn't understand the concept of First, does she). Anyway, did anybody else immediately think of power, wealth, success when reading that name. I sure didn't.
They will call him Sabastian anyway. So whats wrong with that. Think about the child when hes in school.
Seriously, this name could have been named for a pet dog or cat but never a human. They'd be miserable
Ya know, I used to think I had a weird name, it's just Ruth, but I've changed my mind the last ten or so years. What are these people thinking? I know, I know, they really aren't thinking, but still. Why are so hell bent on giving your child a seriously stupid name that is going to make their lives hell just so you can feel special? Didn't get enough attention when you were a child maybe? I seriously hope this poor little baby changes his name when he grows up to something easier, even "Sue", as @PeachPossum mentioned, would be better.
She should try yelling that name out the door for when he's older - that will teach her it's too long. She'll tire of saying that whole thing all the time. She'll probably end up calling him a nickname.
Oh dear, I hope she'll be lenient when his younger sibling Princess Penelope Politician messes up his name. The unusual name could be fine, but insisting that all and sunder say the name in full is a bit much. He should have the right to ask his classmates to call him "Sebastian" if he prefers that. An unusual name isn't all doom and gloom. Abby Hoffman's son, america, went by "Alan" while Hoffman was on the run from the law. At 15, the boy declared himself "America Hoffman" to a impress a girl in his class. He's kept the name (the girl smiled, but that's as far as the courtship went).
People, this is an attempt at humor. It is a joke, a satire based on all the people who give their children ridiculous names.
Not necessarily. You would not BELIEVE the names I've seen on Birth Certificates. Precious Baby Boy Toy--his first name--is still the worst, but there was another man named Lasagna, and a few others. The girls had it worse, BTW. Anything that ended in an A was fair game.

Must be a first time mom.

His friends will call him "Squirrel" & it'll stick until he graduates. All the things will happen & this mom will get tired of yelling that exhaustively long title & shorten it to "Squire."
Just hope he never come to the UK; "Squire" is a way many men address each other over here (apart from being Lord of the Manor!).
Like to see how long she keeps the full use of his name, after she has told him off for the twentieth time in a day.
I actually like the name just fine. It absolutely is no ones biz . The letter to invited guest cancelling shower, not so much.
I completely understand with her being upset and thinking that people were judging her name choice. HOWEVER... to say that he will not be allowed to have nicknames. Are you kidding me? I personally think name choice is fine but no one is going to say all three names all the time. That is just not realistic or fun. Names are no revolutions!
I grew up with a stupid name. Everyone now says "oh that's a lovely name". And maybe it is. For an adult. As a woman who went through school with a stupid name - and the unpleasant nicknames that arise from a stupid name - I think this woman and others like her are disgustingly selfish, and pretty damn stupid. My mother was given a choice of 2 stupid names and picked the least stupid...it's still pretty bad though.
Werid name aside... you CANNOT force people to call your kid by the entire string of first names. So are you gonna teach SSS not to respond unless he hears all three names? Or three parts of his first name?
Just because we like different names or unusual things doesn't mean we should follow through. I know you believe that you are totally right in this but you are not the one who has to live with it. Remember that he will have to go through his whole life being the butt of jokes. Remember the song, about the man named Sue?

Worse, and I swear it's true--When we lived in Pennsylvania (mid-1960s), state law required that a birth certificate be issued within a week after a birth, even if the parents had not chosen a name. The first name would show up as "Male" or "Female" (sorry, no other choices then) until a name was chosen, whereupon the certificate would be reissued. My mother was teaching in an inner city school, and had a student whose legal name was still "Female". Turns out her mother liked the name, and pronounced it "Fehmolly". Female Smith. I wonder whatever happened to her.

I was on the mom's side initially, thinking that the child's full name was Squire Sebastian Senator. Squire's a nice name and spelled correctly. But that it is all the first name is a bit much.
If you you go to great lengths to concoct a name, be ready for the backlash
Squire Sebastian Senator? I named my son Jake, maybe I should have named him Doctor Lawyer CEO?
The acronym for Squire Sebastian Senator is "SSS." That kid's going to get hissed at a lot. Maybe he'll change his name to "He-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named."
Is his last name something starting with an "S"? Smith? Stewart? Simpson? I wish it is... then it could be abbreviated as "SSSS", or SS2 ("ES ES Squared", for his friends!)
His friends--if he can make any--could call him Snake Plisken.

Sin happy we got law aginst doing this to your child here in denmark
Has anyone stopped to think this woman might need medication. She said the name will start a revolution and he has to be called by all 3 names without a nickname ever. That's sound like manic ranting to me.
Having been pregnant, I believe it is the hormones that are clouding her judgment. While Sqire Sebastián Senator is an extraordinary beginning of a name, you must consider that kids are cruel. The second they hear that they will make him their joke, tease & bully him. Or worse he may be the bully so he is not the butt of the jokes. There is nothing wrong with giving him the name, bur come time for him to go to school he needs to be be given the opportunity to decide what he wants to be called. It's only fair.
Oh, kids are horrible! They're the description of monkeys in R. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange land: put a new monkey in a cage and the rest will leave him alone. Dye him pink or green and the rest will tear him apart.

1) This is why telling people the name before the baby is born can be a bad idea. 2) You are crazy, lady.
Rational people: "Why the hell has Beyoncé named her son 'Sir'?" This "mom": "B***h please. I got her beat. My son will be called Squire Sebastian Senator." Me: "I wonder if caves are rent-free in this economy."
I have a practice of knowing the difference of when friends are asking for my advice or if they are simply letting me know something. If they've already made the decision, and are simply informing me, I'm going to acknowledge what was said but not share any negative judgments.. I doubt the mother was asking for advice from anyone, and so regardless of what her co-horts felt, they could have kept to a neutral response.
Regardless of the practicality of the name the mother chose, I question the judgment of people who were questioning her choice. I doubt she was asking anyone for advice on naming. When I have friends who announce decisions (and don't ask my opinion), I keep to a neutral reply, remembering the saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all".
My mother said her standard for naming a baby is whether the name sounds good after the words Supreme Court Justice. That's why my daughters have classic (boring) names.
I hope for the sake of her child she changes her mind and names him something more usual and simple in the end. And really, how can anyone control if someone else or themselves gets called by a nickname sometimes in their life? She needs a reality check. And no one is or was criticizing her baby, they were and are criticizing her and her naming skills.
So if the baby does become a senator later in life will people call him senator Senator? Why not just name him Sebastian? It's a good name. I don't understand people who are "bored by normal names". If you want an unusual name just look outside your culture or in myths and legends. Don't name your kids abcde or squire or other crazy stuff like tv or ketchup or potato. For example I know exactly zero people who are called Joshua. It might be a common name in the USA but it's not in Eastern Europe or Asia./// And I thought N. Tonks from Harry Potter had it bad...
Because common names are an insult to your child. As if they aren’t worth putting the effort of thinking of something other than Laura or Jason. That’s not even trying. It’s lazy and it’s rude. The kid is going to have to live his whole life just being one of millions of other Michaels. It seems like an ugly thing to do to a kid. But I completely agree that people need to pass on calling kids dumb s**t like Squire, Beebop or Rocket when there are perfectly good uncommon names from Asia and the Middle East. People are giving their kids the type of names you give a dog or cat. But I’d rather have a cat name than a boring name like Mary.

If you treat ANYONE in this fashion, you don't deserve to know them. You don't deserve to be known by them, you are that low down. And you can say anything you want to go against this but you're utterly f****d up if you think this woman and this kid deserves this.
Human beings have a long way to go if they feel that it is their right to dishonor themselves and another, with ridicule and mockery. Revealing the shallowness of their own depths, rather than anything of this mother or her child.
This mom is a monumental moron. Maybe she should consider running for national office on the Democrat ticket from someplace wonderful - say Detroit, Newark, or Baltimore. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez needs another moron in the House to spell her stupidity.
This is America people! Let this mother name her child what she wants to name him.
Be glad your mother didn't name you Penis. Or Precious Baby Boy Toy. Or Lasagna. Or A-Miracle. Or, for that matter Orangello.

She did get a bit crazy when she talked about nicknames, but I can see why she's upset and being pregnant is not easy. It would be good to know what middle names she's adding, but when she has time to think, she'll realize that no one ever will call her son by the triple first name, not even her. "Squire Sebastian Senator, go to your room!" sounds powerful, but saying it every time you address your kid? So in real life he'll go by Sebastian or Seb, or Bastian, and the full name will only be on official documents. My daughter has a double last name, mine and her dad's. Since I divorced him long ago I almost never use the 2nd portion of her last name when enrolling her in classes, filling out forms etc.
And at some point, she's going to be disqualified/fired/expelled/not considered because her legal and "common usage" names don't match up. "We couldn't fin you in the university database under that name, so we eliminated you from consideration." For her sake, i suggest a legal name change to just your last name.

Do you realize the things people would call their children if they could call them whatever they want! My grandmother was giving birth to my mom next to a woman who wanted to name her daughter Vagina. I just think some people in this world need rules about what to name their children. It's pathetic but true. Kids go through enough without adding to it a horrendous name.
