Choosing a name for your child is a very important moment. You will decide on something that he or she will carry for the rest of his or her life, and he or she may be the target of bullying and unfunny jokes. Today, choosing a name is not just about analyzing which one you think is prettier. We need to pay attention to the sounds when pronouncing it, the diminutives, and the nickname options that may arise with this choice.

An American mother named her son Squire Sebastian Senator, and received much criticism and teasing even before the child was born. According to the mother, her family, upon learning the name, began making jokes and teasing remarks. Translated into Portuguese, the child would be named Escudeiro Sebastian Senador.

After seeing everyone making fun of her chosen name, the future mother decided to cancel the baby shower she had planned, and uninvited everyone through an announcement on social media, where she vented about the matter:

“I feel very sad to do this, but I'm canceling my son's shower. I'll let you know soon if you're invited to a smaller event I'm hosting. Why am I doing this? Because you're talking a lot of nonsense about a child who hasn't even been born yet! How can you judge a child who hasn't even been born yet? What is wrong with you? My friends and family have been treating me terribly. They've been spreading a series of lies about me and my son. No, I'm not mentally unstable. No, I wasn't drunk when I chose my son's name.

My son's name is Squire Sebastian Senator. And that's it!

You can't force me to change his name. This is the name I want to give him. And this isn't his full name. Squire Sebastian Senator is just his first name, he still has his last name. I don't want him to have a nickname. He'll be called by his full name.

I never imagined my family could be so judgmental. In our family history, we've had many squires and senators. This name brings power. It brings wealth. It brings success.

My son's name will be a revolution. And I'll make people question why they're giving their children common names like Bella, Marina, etc. when they can give them something special!

Squire Sebastian Senator will live a powerful and incredible life. His confidence won't be shaken just because his name is different. Instead, he will be extraordinary. You relatives who are judging my son's name will not be a part of his life!
