It would be, but he did say he thought it was a harmless secret. That could be read as though he didn't know it would bother her.
Like, my name allegedly means things, but unless my mom really hates the Irish, I don't think many of them would set her off.
I see your point, but can't square it.
If he had said "I didn't think it mattered so I didn't think to tell her" that would make sense, but the fact that he said he deliberately hid it (ie harmless secret) means he knew she wouldn't like it. Which makes sense because I think it would be pretty common to get "no" for an answer when you ask your spouse if you can name your kid after a bug.
Mm, yeah, that's possible, too. I think I just considered that to be a turn a phrase.
This is almost off-topic, but I've always found it kind of funny that people ask questions like these in AITA when they could get an answer if they just thought about it for 5 minutes. Like, "Wow, my wife really hates this. And, it either was or was not my fault, so... hm."
