AITA for silently changing my son's name after my brother and SIL gave my nephew the name too?

Having two relatives with the exact same government name is just begging for major bureaucratic issues. SIL is absolutely wild for going through with this – especially without our protagonist's approval.

My favorite part was when the crazy in-laws tried to say that our protagonist took away their agency…

Couple change 4-month-old son's name behind sister-in-law's back after she steals his first, middle, and last name for her own baby: "[You're] just trying to gatekeep names"
Have you ever met someone that has the exact same name as you? Having the same name as someone that you go to school or work with can be incredibly confusing. There were two girls at my high with this issue. They looked nothing alike, but they ran in the same circles and were in the same grade. So, people would typically distinguish them by referring to them as "the loud one" and "the quiet one." My mother and I share very similar names — not identical, but close enough to cause some rather annoying bureaucratic issues here and there.
In our story today, a couple are forced to change their baby's name when their in-laws literally steal his full government name. You see, this couple came up with the name first. They tried to keep it secret, but SIL somehow figured it out and thought it would be cute if the two tots were "connected" by having identical titles.
