'My sister wants to name her son after a fish and I can't believe she's serious'

'My sister wants to name her son after a fish and I can't believe she's serious'

Daily Record5 days ago
A mum-to-be has been left stunned after her sister revealed the name she has chosen for her unborn son - and it's a tribute to her favourite sea creature
Casting judgement on baby names is typically taboo - yet some choices are so outlandish they are just asking for comments. The world of baby naming is wide open, with parents free to select anything from traditional to the truly unconventional. Opting for an extraordinary name might draw raised eyebrows and comments though.

One mum-to-be left her sister utterly astonished with her choice of a baby name, so unusual that it was initially taken as a joke. A Reddit user recounted how her sister, a lifelong marine enthusiast, had long harboured dreams of a sea-inspired name for her future child.

While there's no shortage of unique maritime-themed names like Ocean, Marina, Coral, and Finn, this particular mum-to-be has decided to name her boy after a fish. To be precise, the sea bass.

The woman's sister revealed: "She said she settled on the name 'Seabass', yes, the fish. I am not making this up, I truly wish I was. She's always been a playful person so I truly thought she was joking but she said she really loved it."
Seven months into her pregnancy, the mother in question has already bought a personalised sign and a monogrammed blanket emblazoned with 'Seabass', demonstrating her commitment to the distinctive name.

"I told her that I really don't think this is a good choice, tried to give her other nature or ocean names, and even asked if she could use the name Sebastian," the soon-to-be aunt said.
"But she wasn't having it and said 'This name feels right for him'. I know he's not my child, and so I'm trying to respect her choice."
The post has left commenters utterly gobsmacked by the mother's selection for her son's name. Some suggested Seabass could be a charming pet name for a lad called Sebastian, but balked at the idea of it being his real name.
One individual said: "Oh, good grief. We know a little guy called Sebastian who gets called Seabass by his family, but it's not like it's his actual name!".
Another confessed: "I actually can't think of a way to respond to this in a nice way... I am genuinely flabbergasted."
However, the original poster came back with some good news, saying: "FINAL UPDATE: She went with Sebastian!! Thank God! I was so so worried. But his nickname is Seabass haha!"

SIMONE BILES stunned fans and her husband Jonathan Owens as she dazzled in a bikini. The 28-year-old gymnast is currently enjoying a vacation in the Caribbean with friends. 4 4 4 Biles took to Instagram to share three incredible snaps of herself soaking up the sun on a yacht. The seven-time Olympic gold medallist donned a black bucket hat and stylish sunglasses as she posed in front of glistening blue ocean water. She left little to the imagination in her blue swimwear but wore a white t-shirt over the top. It brilliantly said on it: "No crying on the yacht." Biles' army of adoring fans were left in awe of her, with one saying: "Simone is literally that girl!" Another added: "I'm in love." A third joked: "We are crying because we are not on the yacht with you lol." But her biggest supporter was, of course, her husband and NFL star Owens. The Chicago Bears safety showed just how much he is missing her with a steamy comment on her post, which read: "Sheesh baby i need you home asap!!!"

The Witcher dev CD Projekt's new game revealed in oddly descriptive job listing

Details have emerged about the new, original IP from the makers of The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, as CD Projekt juggles multiple projects. Everyone's attention might be on The Witcher 4 right now, but developer CD Projekt has several games currently in development. Along with the fantasy role-player, which is expected to launch in 2027, the studio is cooking up a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 and another game set in The Witcher universe codenamed Project Sirius. A remake of The Witcher 1 is also in development, albeit at an external studio. The most mysterious project in the pipeline is Project Hadar, which we know nothing about except that it's an original IP. However, thanks to a new job listing, we now have some basic details on what to expect. As spotted on Reddit, the job listing is for a Senior Gameplay Designer at CD Projekt's main studio in Warsaw, Poland. The job description mentions it is for Project Hadar specifically, which is described as being in 'its early days'. 'This is an exciting opportunity to join a team that's building a universe from the ground up where your ideas, experience, and creativity can directly shape the project's vision, identity, and direction,' the description reads. While there aren't many concrete details, the post states Project Hadar will be built in Unreal Engine 5. Elsewhere, it implies the game is an action role-player with an emphasis on melee combat.

Under the 'qualifications' segment for the role, it reads: 'At least 5+ years of professional experience in a similar role, preferably in RPG/action titles with melee-orientated combat.' More Trending While the genre isn't surprising, considering action role-players are CD Projekt's bread and butter, the focus on melee combat suggests it might be closer to The Witcher than Cyberpunk 2077. The latter had melee combat but it was largely secondary to the gunplay and hacking. The big question for Project Hadar is the game's setting, considering the studio has already covered fantasy and sci-fi in a big way. If it does lean on melee combat, it could potentially pre-date guns, so perhaps a historical game akin to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2? Melee combat is usually the weakest element in CD Projekt's games so this could be a purposeful attempt to address that head-on. The description brings to mind something like God Of War but whether that's specifically what they're aiming for is impossible to tell at the moment. Whatever it is, it's likely Project Hadar will be many years away yet. After The Witcher 4, the studio's next game will be Cyberpunk 2, which might not be out until 2030, so Project Hadar could be a decade away depending on how things shake out.

On Reddit, someone wrote: 'It's crazy to think that meg and shakira literally walked in together for them to just not get along. 'I purely blame Meg i think it's her being jealous of Shakira.

'Also Dejon pulled Shakira for a chat she instantly said 'Shakira stole my man' SINCE DAY 1 she's been calling dejon her man when they just met.. she's a bitter freak.'

'When Harry made it exclusive with Helena, everything unravelled and she realised she wasn't ready to be with Conor properly. 'She did the brave thing by ending that, but then the floodgates opened and she just didn't want to be in the villa anymore. 'She went to the beach hut and asked to leave the villa. 'The duty of care team were able to help her through her emotions and she decided to stay.' But as well as troubled romances, Shakira has also been at loggerheads with the girls on several occasions, and has failed to see eye to eye with Meg and Helena in particular. 5 Toni called out Meg and Helena over the divide between the girls
