A dad to be has left the internet divided after he discovered the origin of the cute names his wife picked out for their twins.

From flowers to loved family members, expecting parents find inspiration for baby names everywhere – including their own childhood.

One man discovered the secret origin of the names his wife had picked out for their twin daughters. Names he had previously agreed were cute.

Posting to Reddit the anonymous man wrote: “A few months ago I (25) and my wife Kaylie (22) discovered we were having twins. Obviously we’ve been over the moon about this and already prepared nurseries etc. for our beautiful girls, and talked a lot about names and such.

“Kaylie suggested the names Bella and Sara, and even though they’re pretty common ones I do like them and it didn’t fall into the matching categories, or at least I thought that.”

However, his opinion on the names was quick to change after a visit from Kaylie’s friend Brittany.

When told the names he says “Brittany burst out laughing and Kaylie looked kinda embarrassed so I asked what this was about.”

He pressed the pair until they admitted the origin of the names: “Brittany said that Kaylie definitely got those exact names from a horse unicorn card game they used to collect as teens called, you guessed it BellaSara.”

He finished the post detailing how he and Kaylie have been unable to see eye-to-eye on the names since: “After Brittany left I was honestly left in shock and told my wife under no circumstances were we naming the girls that anymore because it’s beyond cheesy and quite honestly ridiculous at this point. 

“Kaylie deflected me and said no one even knows about the game and that it’s fine but I refused and it turned into a huge fight.”

Commenters on the thread seem to be somewhat divided on this, with one writing, “Bella and Sara are perfectly normal names, no one would even guess that they’re from a card game.”

However, another was quick to add: “Our kids played the BellaSara card game about 15 years ago, and I instantly knew where the names came from. It may be somewhat obscure, but anyone who played it or had kids who played it will know the origin.”

Others suggested that Kaylie should name one of the babies, while her husband could name the other.
