34-year-old sister who can't have children insists on helping name brother's newborn, is offended when he declines: 'My mom thinks I lack compassion'

Naming a baby is an incredibly personal thing. It's a moment where, at least in our contemporary culture, the only people who really get a say are the parents. Not their families, not their friends, and not anyone else. Sure, it's nice to use a baby name to honor someone who has passed, or who had an important impact on the new family, but you don't have to. Your only responsibility is to name them something that won't get them tossed out of job application pools. The rest is fair game. That's why it's understandable when some couples bristle when others insist on giving them outside input. I hate to break it to you, but nobody really wants to hear your list of baby names. 

But one woman didn't quite understand that when it came time to name her niece. And though she has a tragic backstory, it still doesn't quite excuse it. Read on for the story.
