A new mother told Slate her mother-in-law convinced her husband to change the name of her newborn son while she was asleep, recovering from a C-section.
The woman, nicknamed "Mama Bear", wrote to Slate asking for advice on what to do now that the name change had happened.
"My son is two-months-old, and I just discovered my husband spelled our son's middle name as 'Finlay' instead of 'Finley' on all of his legal documentation," her letter began.
"I, of course, am furious, because I told him I was fine with the middle name but it had to be spelled Finley—and he agreed before our son was ever born."
She added that the mother-in-law sent a Christmas gift with the boy's name spelt "Finlay" and her husband tried to convince her that the birth certificate had it correctly spelt as "Finley".
