Sister unknowingly names her child the name her sister wanted to use, family is divided in the ensuing argument: 'She burst into tears'

Baby names are a tricky subject, especially when you factor in familial traditions that you might be expected to uphold, and limitations, judgment, and grievances that might be placed by the people around on the name you finally settle on. Of course, especially these days, many people want their baby's name to be unique. Yet somehow these people all end up naming their kid some variation of the same thing, not realizing it until their kid is one of dozens of "Theo"s in their class when they start school. Others seek to achieve this by naming their kid a bizarre derivation of an otherwise popular name. Resulting in Ashlea, Ashlee, Ashli, Ashlie, Ashleigh, and Ashly all becoming close friends in the first grade.

Still, it's understandable to be upset when a sibling or other close relative takes a name that you were hoping to use for your future children—and it's even worse when they knowingly do so. When this sister unknowingly took the name that her sister, who had had trouble carrying a baby to term, had planned on using for the child she hoped to one day have. The complexities of this issue and the ensuing family schism that unfolded prompted the sister to share her story with this online community to appeal to readers and see whether or not she was in the wrong.
