She Got Into A Fight With Her Parents Over Her Sister Keeping Her Baby’s Name A Secret
This woman has a little sister who is currently pregnant with her first child, and everyone in their family is going nuts over what her sister will choose to name her baby.
All of their loved ones have questioned her sister about the name, and her sister has maintained she’s keeping her baby’s name a secret.
Only her sister and her sister’s husband know the name, and after their baby is born, they will tell everyone what it is.
“We all know she’s having a girl, and our family has some very strong ideas about names,” she explained.
“I think one of the reasons she’s so quiet about her choice is because our family tried to get me to change the names of my three children, and they were rude about my children’s names: Piper, Rowan, and Skye.”
“My family prefers classic/royal family names. My kids do not have those kinds of names. The fact my husband and I announced the names before the birth really went badly for us. We were both sick of it each time. But we’d forget ourselves with the excitement of each pregnancy, and we’d announce because we loved the names.”
Her family only said things to them in private about how much they disliked the baby names, and they didn’t post anything on social media about it because the reactions she received there were overwhelmingly positive.
She’s proud of her sister for learning from her mistakes with sharing her baby names. She knows that’s why her sister is staying tight-lipped.
She does have two guesses as to what her sister wants to name her daughter, and each one is something her family would find disapproving.

Her family has been trashing talking her sister while trying to force her sister to give up the name.
They’re even going around saying her sister probably has a horrendous name picked out, and that’s her reason for keeping it under wraps.
She’s gone to bat for her sister every single time the issue comes up, insisting her sister is allowed to do what she wants.
“This became a fight with my parents, who told me they have every right to know beforehand,” she said.
“I said they don’t. Only the parents of the child have that right, and not all babies get named beforehand anyway. They told me it wasn’t my business anyway, and I returned that it’s also none of theirs. They are the ones trying to go against my sister and BILs wishes. I told them my sister has the right idea, and they need to accept it and stop before they push her away or have limited info about their new granddaughter.”
“They told me I was being crazy and acting like they were doing something wrong, which they are not, in their mind. They told me I better not have been a bad influence on her with names. I rolled my eyes. They got so mad at me that they told me I owed the family an apology for how I have been treating them.”
She’s curious if it was wrong of her to get into a fight with her parents over her sister keeping her baby’s name a secret.
