She Wanted To Name Her First Daughter After Her Late Sister, But Her Mother Freaked Out And Actually Pledged To Cut Off Communication Until She Picks A Different Name
This woman is twenty-three years old and tragically lost her sister, Alicia, in a car accident. Alicia was just seven years old at the time.
And since losing her sibling, she has tried to do as much as she can to honor Alicia. She has gotten tattoos in her memory, curated memorials, and more.
Plus, ever since she was little, she has known that she wanted to name her first-born daughter after Alicia.
So, when she recently found out that she and her husband were expecting a baby girl, she was ecstatic.
“The name I had picked out was Alice– which is not my sister’s name exactly, but still close enough for my daughter and family to know that she was named after her late aunt,” she explained.
And thankfully, her husband also adores the name Alice and everything that it represents.
So, since the couple wanted to wait to announce their pregnancy until they knew the baby’s gender, they finally decided to tell their entire family yesterday.
And apparently, everyone was super excited about the new addition to the family and her plans to name the baby girl Alice. Well, everyone except for her mother– which she was honestly shocked about.
“My mother’s mood completely changed when we announced her name,” she recalled.

Then, after she asked her mother what was wrong, her mother actually blew up on her and claimed that the name choice was utterly disrespectful to her mother and sister.
So, despite her entire family believing the tribute was a great idea, her mother has been refusing to speak to her ever since the announcement.
In fact, the mom has pledged to entirely cut off communication with her until she decides to pick a different name.
“My heart has been set on this name ever since my husband and I started thinking about having kids, though, and I really do not want to change it,” she said.
But now, after seeing how much the name “Alice” upset her mother, she is not sure if moving forward with the name would be the wrong thing to do.
Do you think her mom has a right to be upset, or is she overreacting? How would you handle this sticky situation?
