She Doesn’t Want To Invite Her Sister To Her Baby Shower Since They’re In A Fight Over Her Baby’s Name
This 24-year-old woman has three siblings.
Her brother, Dylan, is 32, and she has two sisters: Evie, 29, and Hannah, 27.
She is the first one among her siblings to have children. And even though Hannah doesn’t have children, she has a fascination with baby names.
“She has joined forums to give advice on naming kids. If anyone asks her opinion on a name, she goes into overdrive and, depending on the name, will insult the name, the person who wears the name, or likes the name, and imply that the name should be criminal. Or she will tell the person how amazing it is and will set the child up for success and be praised by everyone they ever meet. I’m not sure she has a middle ground,” she said.
When she and her husband told Hannah about her pregnancy, Hannah asked them what names they were considering and offered advice if they needed it. She and her husband rejected her help, explaining that their plan was to keep the name a secret and reveal the name once the baby was born and they had made the birth announcement.
Apparently, Hannah thought this was an awful way to go, but she and her husband said that they were doing this so that they didn’t have to deal with people’s opinions when they didn’t ask for them in the first place.
“The name my husband and I chose for our daughter is a name Hannah insulted heavily on more than one occasion. The name is Lyra. Dylan’s girlfriend mentioned how sweet she thought the name was and how it reminded her of the character Lyra from His Dark Materials. My sister told Dylan’s girlfriend that she should learn the proper naming procedure and had to be shut down by Dylan because she was going overboard,” she explained.
Hannah’s hostility towards the name seemed incredibly intense and unwarranted, considering that Dylan’s girlfriend wasn’t pregnant; she was only commenting on how she thought the name was pretty.
Later on, Hannah wouldn’t stop badgering her to find out what the baby’s name was. When she still wouldn’t tell Hannah the name, Hannah claimed that she and her husband must have chosen a name that would bring their child “a lifetime of shame.”

She responded by saying to Hannah that she was taking things way too far and was being overdramatic. However, Hannah said that she could tell her the name, and then she’d see for herself.
Then, she said that Hannah needed to stop bringing up the baby’s name, and she added that if Hannah didn’t stop trying to figure out what the baby’s name was, she would no longer be allowed to attend her baby shower or even meet her baby unless she said sorry and acknowledged how wrong she’d been.
“My husband and I decided to set up a fake name for her to find if she did go snooping, and sure enough, she did. She went ballistic over the name choice, and I told her she had done what I told her not to do and that she was warned,” she shared.
Her sister told her that it would be mean to not allow her to come to the baby shower, and her parents are also on Hannah’s side. Her parents believe that Hannah should still be invited, and they said that she’s making too big of a deal out of the entire situation. In their opinion, arguing over a baby’s name isn’t a good reason not to allow her sister to attend the baby shower.
Do you think she was wrong not to allow her sister to attend her baby shower?
