Hailey Bieber fans think her baby name will upset Selena Gomez - 'There will be gaslighting'

Hailey Bieber fans believe her and Justin Bieber’s baby name will get under Selena Gomez’s skin, drawing criticism from some.

Justin and Hailey Bieber are one of the most famous couples on the planet. The 30-year-old Canadian singer first met the 27-year-old model way back in 2009. Although they dated for a couple of years from 2014, they later split but rekindled their romance in 2018, tying the knot the same year. Earlier this May, Hailey announced she was pregnant with their first child and Justin has been showcasing how excited they are on Instagram. Meanwhile, some predict the baby name will rub somebody the wrong way, and that somebody isn’t just anybody… it’s Selena Gomez.

People think Hailey Bieber’s baby name will upset Selena Gomez

Taking to Reddit, a fan shared a post discussing the HaileyxJustin baby discourse.

“I recently came across an old clip of Selena talking about baby names,” they began writing. “If she had had a boy, she would have named it Emory Bieber. Ever since, I keep thinking that Hailey might use that name in a way.”

“I like Emory,” Selena says in the resurfaced clip from 2010 that the Reddit user linked in their post. Selena spells the name out and says, “Insert my husband’s last name.” Justin dated the 31-year-old American singer-songwriter and actress on and off from 2009 up until 2018.

The expecting couple haven’t announced their baby’s name yet, but it’s taken no time at all for fans to react to the Emory theory.

“If she does, people WILL notice,” one replied in the comments. “And she’ll get hated on massively again, lol,” another argued. “They really should stay away from it…”

Also subscribing to the idea the name will rub Selena the wrong way, another suggested it will be “Something less obvious, more subtle… but something that will get under the skin nonetheless, I bet. Something SO subtle that there will be gaslighting when it gets under the skin. That’s my guess.”

Others have shared in this train of thought, not believing she’ll call the baby Emory, but something which would similarly ruffle some feathers. “I bet she will name it something super close to that,” somebody replied. Getting personal, they claimed Hailey “likes to copy the other girls just close enough that it’s noticeable but not super obvious so she can deny it…” Ouch.

Some don’t believe the Emory theory because Hailey ‘already won’

Despite the fact it’s clear some people out there suspect the name will be chosen with taking a swipe at Selena in mind, some counter-arguments have already been launched in the thread.

“No, I don’t think she will do that,” one wrote in defense of Hailey. “I said it before that I think Hailey now that she is pregnant doesn’t care much about Selena. In her eyes, she’s won. That’s just my opinion.”

Somewhat sharing this view, another argued they haven’t noticed any recent signs of Hailey attempting to imitate Selena or dish out any digs, no matter how subtle. “If anything, she’s calling that baby Sabrina Carpenter,” they instead joked, “that seems to be her latest obsession.”

Taking a brutal approach but taking the Emory off the table in their argument, one wrote they don’t think she’ll name the baby that only because “it will just confirm to some people she is in fact […] obsessed with Selena.” Ouch, again.
