Whenever you open up Twitter, you never know what news you might discover, with social media surprising users this morning to show that “Captain Phasma,” who audiences first met back in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, was trending for some reason. The source of the conversation comes from Reddit, with a post from that site being shared in which a fan discussed potentially naming their daughter “Captain-Phasma.” The post was shared on the “Am I the Asshole?” subreddit in which users post real-world arguments where they assumed they were right in hopes of getting feedback on if they were actually the problem in the situation.

In the decades since Star Wars: A New Hope landed in theaters, fans have paid their respects to the galaxy far, far away in a number of ways, which even includes children being named in honor of famous characters. Even with this precedent, most users criticized the decision to name a child “Captain-Phasma” not only for its absurdity, but also due to the character being a villain who only had a minor presence in the franchise.

Many Concerns
A lot of people are focusing on the questionable name here and not the fact that this guy is mad at his wife for watching a tv show โbehind his back.โ

Run, Captain-Phasma.
Get out while you can. https://t.co/4AI8O9vy6E
Other Options
Maybe you should name your daughter Leia, Mara Jade, Padime, Sabine, or Hera. Hell, name her Gwendoline after the actress who played Phasma. Just donโt name her Captain Phasma. https://t.co/ml8S9xpquF

Prepare for Bullying
Naming your child “Captain-Phasma” is going to ensure that your child gets the exact opposite of not bullied, my dude. https://t.co/XSxxiuNVMx

Weird Year
I’m seeing Captain Phasma is trending. Was hoping it was the Star Wars comic I did the voice acting for her character. Find out it’s someone naming their kid “Captian Phasma.” 2020 continues to impress with it’s hyperbole. #captainphasma #StarWars pic.twitter.com/XIjKCnMULF

Bad Choice
Itโs one thing naming your child after a star wars character like Leia, or Luke, or Finn, but naming them CAPTAIN-PHASMA is embarrassing. Sheโs not even a good character and theyโre purposely setting their child up to be bullied nonstop
