Her Stepmom And Dad Are Planning To Use The Same Name She Has Already Picked Out For Her Daughter
For some people, baby names are very sacred. There are a lot of future parents walking around who have had a baby name list going on for years and know exactly what they want to name their future child.
When someone close to you uses the name you reserved for your future child, it can be really frustrating.
One woman is at a standstill with her dad and stepmother after discovering they were planning to use the same name she had already picked out for her daughter.
She’s 25 years old and has a very particular family situation.
Her dad had her when he was in his early 20s. He eventually remarried and is with her stepmother, Elle. Interestingly, Elle isn’t much older than her, as she’s 34.
Right now, she and Elle are pregnant at the same time. Elle is slightly more pregnant at 34 weeks, but she’s right behind her at 32 weeks. Coincidentally, they’re both expecting baby girls.
Ever since she was little, she knew she’d want to name her first-born daughter Elizabeth after her grandmother.
She was very close with her grandmother, as she spent a lot of time with her growing up while her dad was in medical school.
She and her partner love the name Elizabeth and decided their daughter’s full name would be Elizabeth Katherine in honor of their grandmothers.

They never publicly announced their future daughter’s name, but she told her dad a few times that she was planning on using the name Elizabeth.
However, things started falling apart when her dad and stepmother revealed their daughter’s name on social media.
They posted a picture of their baby girl’s name embroidered onto a blanket. They will also be naming their daughter Elizabeth.
She and Elle had multiple conversations in the past about what names they were thinking of using, and Elle never brought up Elizabeth.
However, Elle decided on that name in honor of her best friend Beth, who passed away last year. Her dad and Elle will plan on calling their daughter Lizzie for short.
“If I’m being honest, I’m upset by it,” she said. “I picked the name first. It holds a lot of meaning to me.”
She told her dad and Elle they needed to pick a different name because she had already chosen Elizabeth for her daughter and that things in their family would get confusing if their daughters had the same name.
Elle told her she wouldn’t budge on the name since she had her heart set on naming her daughter after her late friend.
When she spoke with her dad, he stood by Elle and told her they’d be naming their daughter Elizabeth no matter what.
Her dad told her she was acting selfish for thinking she could decide who uses the name and believing her reasons for naming her daughter Elizabeth are more important than Elle’s.
Then, her dad told her that his daughter was more likely to be born first, so he and Elle would be using the name Elizabeth, and she’d have to pick something else.
Elle has recently told her off and asked her not to contact her until she was ready to apologize.
Should she apologize for how she reacted to the name?
