Man Confronts SIL for Butchering His Irish Name in Baby Naming, Igniting a Family Dispute

One of the first things a parent considers after giving birth to a child is the name. A person's name influences their personality and sense of self. As a result, one would assume that a parent would choose a name for their child after thoroughly understanding its meaning.

The story that follows centers on an angry brother-in-law. Irish-born, the original poster (OP) is married to an American woman. OP's sister-in-law is expecting their first kid with her spouse. During the process of deciding on a name, they both agreed—for whatever reason—that it would be wise to give their unborn child the same name as OP, a traditional Irish name that, strangely, neither of them can pronounce correctly. So when the sister-in-law told him the name she wanted for her baby and got a blah answer, she was shocked and confused as to why he was responding that way.

So, make sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning why OP objected to their choice of name and whether they remained true to it in spite of the criticism! Additionally, after you're done, don't forget to read about the man who causes a rift in the family by altering photos of his sister-in-law with Photoshop!
