Pregnant woman refuses to name baby after partner's gran as it's 'rude' in her language

A woman has told of how she is refusing to name her daughter after her partner's late grandmother as it is a "rude" word in her language.
In a post on Reddit, the anonymous woman, aged 30, detailed that she and her husband, 37, are expecting a little baby girl together and are in the process of choosing baby names.

The woman tried to compromise with her husband and suggested that they use Fanny as a middle name, but he wasn't having it.
She claims he even accused her of being "embarrassed" by his culture.
"I'm in love with his culture and I think the name is very pretty, it's just that I know our
