It's interesting to see just how petty people can get. As the story goes, her twin sister wants to adopt a kid with a name she already wanted to use. She refuses to change the name she chose, and also refuses to name her kid the same thing. She asked the internet if she was being the problem here and the internet let her know. People get into some surprisingly weird drama over stealing baby names.

    Text - r/AmItheAsshole · Posted by u/skearns68 9 hours ago AITA for having an issue with my sister's child's name? My sister S and I are identical twins. I've always felt like I've never been allowed to have my own things. We have rhyming names, my mom always tried to get us matching clothes, and we shared a bedroom. That's never bothered S like it bothers me. She always wanted to do same activities as me and hang out with my friend group.

    Text - When we were 18, she applied to a few of the same colleges as me but she's never been as good of a student and she didn't get into my dream school and I did. I hid it but I was really excited. Ultimately, it was good for us that S went to a different college. Our relationship improved when I had my own space where I could be myself and not one of the interchangeable twins. I went to graduate school so I didn't get married until last year. After the wedding, we moved to my hometown to rais

    Text - I'm currently pregnant and having a girl. My husband and I spent a lot of time picking out the perfect name for our future child. I feel SO good about this name. Yesterday, S and SH announced to the family (remotely) that they are officially about to adopt a little girl. They wanted a baby but ended up having to go with a slightly older kid, 5. She looks absolutely precious and I was so happy for a few seconds before they announced her name is B, the name that S KNOWS is my daughter's.

    Text - I thought that was a joke so I kind of laughed. Then I realized they were serious. Obviously the girls can't have the same name. Twins with daughters with the same name??? Everyone would laugh at us. I feel like all of my problems with S will repeat themselves as everyone compares the girls and lumps them together because they have the same name. They won't be able to have a good relationship because of this. I don't want people nicknaming my kid to distinguish her because I like the FULL

    Text - I am planning to talk to S about the situation. One of us needs to change our kid's name and I'm hoping she'll be reasonable. My kid will get here first (I'm almost at my due date) and I picked out the name first. A lot of parents change their adopted kids' names. They could do that. If the kid won't change her name, S and SH could go with a different kid. There are thousands upon thousands of orphans who need loving homes and 99.9999% of them don't have this one particular name. They hav

    Text - TL;DR: My twin, who has always copied me, wants to adopt a kid with the same name as my baby. AITA for saying NO? This is stressing me out and it's NOT GOOD for my baby.

At first I thought your sister was planning to change this child's name to your preferred name and was prepared to go off on her for that, setting aside any twin issues you might have, because that is an objectively shitty thing to do to a child. It took a minute for me to get that this is what you want her to do. You are an unbelievable asshole. This child has undergone more trauma than you can ima

    Text - Scareypoppins Partassipant [3] 1.6k points · 9 hours ago You think it's reasonable for her to just choose a different kid? YTA. Wow, you really are self obsessed if you think that's reasonable. If the kid is five, then it's likely that they already have a bond if they're at the stage of announcing it. Think about the child's feelings. She's already lost her family, that sense of abandonment can do bad things to a child. Now imagine it happening again if your sister and husband walk away f
