I 34 female am expecting a “surprise” baby boy in June of this year. I have the name “Jonah” picked out all because my children 16m and 10f names both start with “Jo”(keep the pattern going). I only told my sister,best friend, and the father the name. I thought everything was all good until the other day. The father came to me and expressed how he is upset that I’m not naming the baby after him. I told him I feel as though we both have first born sons already and having a Jr is for a firstborn son. Plus I want this baby to have his own identity in a sense. He says I’m not taking him into consideration and I’m being selfish even though I incorporated his name in the middle name. He is set on naming him “Jr” but I do not. Am I the AH here?

Edit to add:

I keep responding to individuals asking if I had went to him and spoke abt names prior or my decision. The answer is yes there have been multiple conversations to where I suggested different names varying from his name(which starts with an M) to even naming the baby after his grandfather whose name was Michael, all to no avail on him offering any other names. I became irritated by it and made the decision. No we are not together. I found abt the pregnancy after we broke up. I made the decision to inform him and have him be involved with things that pertain to the baby. He has a son already who is not a Jr. I personally feel like naming this baby a “Jr” will be disrespectful to his oldest son. Every convo abt the name he is 10 toes on his “Jr”.
