A TEEN mum has divided opinion after telling the parents who are adopting her baby that only she decides the babies' name.

The 15-year-old girl is insisting the infants are named Walter and Agnes — but the woman and her husband who are in the process of adopting newborn twins disagree.

In a post on Reddit, the woman who was set to adopt the twins said the girl's family was “upset” with the couple for not accepting the twins’ “real names” — and have threatened to look for new parents.  

She said: “We've been with her all her pregnancy and even if she doesn't want to be a mother, she will still be able to visit the twins as often as she wants because we live in the same city.”

But they found out the biological mother has also chosen the twins’ names which the adoptive mum slammed as “outdated”.  

She said: “She didn't choose them because of a relative, just because she thought they sounded cool. 

“But even if the names were great, they are still our babies. We will raise them…We insist on naming them.

“They will also get our last name and legally be our children, which was decided and agreed on five months ago.”

The woman’s dilemma has divided opinions online.

Some suggest she stand her ground with some even advising she cut ties with the biological mother. 

She said: “I would seriously consider not doing this with this girl. She wants to see them as much as she wants, she wants the names she picked. 

Another said: “Sounds like she and her family want someone to foot the bill of babies and not actually give them up.” 

Others supported the birth mum’s right to name the babies. 

One said: “ Birth mum is the mum when the children are born, and she is legally the mum until her rights are voluntarily terminated. She can and should name and spend time with her babies before the adoption.”
