A WOMAN has revealed how her husband ended up calling their daughter after a Game of Thrones character by getting one letter wrong when registering her.
TikTok user @salialdigs shared how they had agreed on their child being called Aria, but her husband had done Arya instead.
Speaking in a video, she said how they didn’t have any names that jumped to mind when they found out they were pregnant, as it had been a surprise.
The mum-of-two said: “We were in the car and I was like ‘so do you have any names in mind? How about Aria?’”
She said her husband replied: “Oh I like that, there’s a really badass character in Game of Thrones and her name is Arya.”
The mum clarified that she wanted to call her daughter Aria spelt with an “i” instead of a “y”, particularly as the only Aria she knew was from Pretty Little Liars, and she hadn’t seen Game of Thrones.
She said: “I’m not naming her after a Game of Thrones character and I like it with an ‘i’ as that is how it is supposed to be spelled.”
They agreed on the traditional spelling, but the husband had other ideas once it came to the baby being born.
The mum said: “I give birth and I have some complications with my birth and I stayed at the hospital for like four days.
“So we got home after I was at the hospital and I was exhausted.”
While she was in the shower her husband decided to register the birth – but used the Arya from Games of Thrones spelling.
The mum said: “I was like what the hell?
“When I tell the rage I felt in my body when I found out, I had the divorce papers drawn out so fast.
“Basically I was like you need to fix this, I don’t care how, I don’t care how much it costs.”
Thankfully when the husband tried to phone up to change it, the original registration hadn’t gone through and they were able to register the name as Aria.
Many people were highly entertained by the story, but many felt she should have kept Arya.
One said: “aaaww Arya is awesome! Should have kept it!”
A second wrote: “Honestly the name is better with a Y. I would kept it.”
Another defended her upset and said: “Girl lol definitely would’ve divorced.”
Meanwhile, these are the most popular baby names of the year – and traditional names are no longer on trend.
And a woman says her cousin stole her baby names TWICE.
