Woman Scares Off Guy On Dating App With Baby Name Joke, Prompts Amusing Thread On Naming Practices

Even the most charming and attractive people in the world struggle with the thorny issue of dating etiquette. OK, so maybe not quite as much as the rest of us, but it still happens. People are never more fickle than when it comes to finding love, and dating apps have only exacerbated the problem. 

This was something that @EmilyKaitlinnn found herself on the receiving end of not too long ago, after responding to a match who jokingly asked her what they were going to name their first child. Replying that a lost bet in fifth grade had bound her to calling them something rather unconventional, she swiftly got unmatched. 

Sharing the unfortunate interaction to Twitter, many were baffled at why the man had passed up the chance to get to know someone who was so obviously funny. On top of that, they were keen to share their own pacts on unusual names that they shared with friends and partners, some of which were actually followed through with. While cherishing the baby name that you picked out when you were ten years old might not be to everyone's taste, at least it makes for a good online anecdote.
