A shocking discovery has left a mother stunned after finding out that her husband secretly named their daughter after a Batman character.
The hilarious moment was captured on TikTok, where the wife, Via, shared a video of her reaction to the news.
How it All Went Down
The video shows Via watching an episode of Batman: The Animated Series with her husband, Carson, and his family. The episode features Mr. Freeze and his wife, Nora Fries, which is when Via makes the shocking discovery. As she watches the show, she realizes that her husband named their 10-month-old daughter, Nora, after the Batman character. Via had no idea about the connection and thought the name was just a cool suggestion from her husband.
@viashoe so my husband came up with the name Nora right when we found out she was a girl & I loved the name. He never said where he heard it, just that he thought it was a cool name. Everyother name he had come up with had a movie reference or something dorky so I was happy we found a normal name we both loved. lol. Flash forward & we have our daughter & when she is 10 months old (literally over a year since we named her) we are at his family’s house for thanksgiving & we sit down to watch a show “they watch every year” lol. Yeah no actually it was an episode of Batman Animated Series from the 90s that my husband has loved since he was a kid. The main villian is Mr. Freeze (literally my husband’s profile photo is mr. freeze on so many things I should have known) &&&& his beautiful sweet frozen wife… is nora. lol honestly impressed he kept this so close to his chest I love my daughter’s name, I love my dorky husband (who “accidentally” proposed on national batman day too btw), but all future baby names will have a thorough background check… #marriedlife #funnyhusband #batman #parenting ♬ original sound – V I A
A Name with a Hidden Meaning
Via explained in the caption that when her husband first suggested the name Nora, she loved it and had no idea about its origins. “He never said where he heard it, just that he thought it was a cool name,” she wrote. She also mentioned that her husband often comes up with names inspired by movies or pop culture, so she was relieved when he suggested a “normal” name like Nora.
The Moment of Truth
As Via watches the episode, her jaw drops in shock, and she can’t believe what she’s hearing. She glares at the screen, refusing to make eye contact with her husband. The caption continues, “The main villain is Mr. Freeze (literally my husband’s profile photo is Mr. Freeze on so many things I should have known) and his beautiful sweet frozen wife… is Nora.”
A Lesson Learned
Although Via still loves her daughter’s name, she’s now more cautious about her husband’s name suggestions. “I love my daughter’s name, I love my dorky husband (who ‘accidentally’ proposed on National Batman Day too btw), but all future baby names will have a thorough background check,” she wrote. The video has gone viral, with over 18 million views, and the comments section is filled with people laughing at the situation or sharing their own experiences with pop culture-inspired baby names.
The Power of Social Media
The comments section is also filled with people coming up with alternative meanings for the name Nora, such as its Arabic origin, which means “light” and “beauty.” Others shared their own stories of discovering the true meaning behind their child’s name, often with hilarious results. One commenter revealed, “My partner named our daughter Emmie. Three years later I find out she’s named after Eminem.” Another commenter shared, “I tried to name my son Bruce. Wife said no, it’s an old man’s name. Four years later we had our daughter… Harley.” The video has sparked a fun conversation about baby names and the importance of doing your research before making a decision.
