If there is one lesson that expecting parents don’t tend to get taught, it’s that they should be careful who they choose to share their favorite baby names with.

Pregnant mom wants to name her baby ‘Leanna’ to honor late stepmother, sister pushes back because she wants to name her kids ‘Lee’ and ‘Anna’: ‘That’s a whole new level of entitlement’
Having similar names in the same family can be a little confusing. Sometimes there are so many Johns that one of them needs to become «Johnny,» one of them needs to be «Big John» or «Little John,» depending on their age and size, and one of them just needs to go by their middle name, …

New mom names daughter after late mother-in-law, offends husband’s step mom who was her nemesis: ‘I will not change my child’s name because it hurts her feelings’
The only thing more complicated than your relationship with your mom and dad is if one or both of them choose to remarry. Stepparents can be a major adjustment, especially if you’re a kid and if they don’t exactly make your transition to a new family simple. As a result, it’s not uncommon to grow …

Expecting mom wants to name her baby girl ‘Blessica,’ husband refuses because his last name is ‘Blimpson’: ‘The name is too close to the celebrity Jessica Simpson’
Some bad baby names rise above the rest. I’ve known so many Kaydens, Aidens, Braydens, Haydens, and Jaydens in my life that, at this point, the quality of their names no longer feels notably poor. While my childhood was populated by a parade of the boy «-aydens,» Gen Alpha girls are cursed with «-leigh» as …

Overbearing woman plans to use the same baby name as pregnant sister to show their ‘special connection,’ doesn’t understand why sister refuses: ‘Consider keeping your new child’s name a secret’
Sharing the same as someone can be a huge form of respect. New parents often name their babies after a relative who has passed or someone in their lives who they want to honor. That way the child can carry on their legacy. However, having the same name as a peer can be confusing. I …

34-year-old sister who can’t have children insists on helping name brother’s newborn, is offended when he declines: ‘My mom thinks I lack compassion’
Naming a baby is an incredibly personal thing. It’s a moment where, at least in our contemporary culture, the only people who really get a say are the parents. Not their families, not their friends, and not anyone else. Sure, it’s nice to use a baby name to honor someone who has passed, or who …

Expecting dad tries to name his son ‘Josh Allen’ after NFL quarterback behind his wife’s back, gets angry at his best friend when he points out the connection: ‘I assumed she knew about the player and didn’t care’
I don’t understand the urge to name your kid after a prominent figure. Some exceptions work, like Martin Luther King Jr., but I’m sure even he was annoyed by people jokingly asking him, «How was the Protestant Reformation?» before he made a name for himself. There was a girl at my high school named Amelia, …

Nicknames can be such a touchy subject when they don’t have to be. If you’re having a kid, you need to write down their name and every possible nickname they could have. If the sound of any of these nicknames makes you feel a level of disgust that would amount to absolute detestation, you probably …

Sister-in-law asks new mom to change her baby’s name from Liam to Alexander because she always wanted to name her baby Liam: ‘Mike didn’t let her use the name is because his ex has a son with that name’
It’s so difficult to name a human being. Once you go through all of the names of all the middle school bullies, weird acquaintances, and exes you and your partner have ever had, you’ve only got about five names left over. It’s difficult enough for two people to choose a name that they both like, …
