Names are powerful things. Odds are there is probably a name that you have negative associations with. Maybe it’s the name of your middle school tormentor that whenever you hear it you get a chill down your spine. Maybe it’s the name of your old piano teacher who you dreaded seeing every Saturday. Maybe it’s …

Entitled friend refuses to share the baby name she called ‘dibs’ on, expects friend to rename her child when she coincidentally chooses the same name for her kid: ‘How was I supposed to guess or know that was her name?’
Everything makes sense when you see your new baby for the first time. Whether you chose their name before they were born or let your emotions decide for you in the moment, that’s your prerogative. All I know for sure is that most parents don’t play when it comes to baby names. Many new moms …

32-year-old dad-to-be insists on naming his baby after a D&D character, refuses to compromise with wife who likes classic names: ‘I don’t want to name our child after a fictional character’
I understand the appeal of naming a baby after your favorite fictional character. When I was a tween, I was convinced I would name my future baby after one of the non-Cartman characters in South Park. Now that my frontal lobe is fully developed, I understand that explaining to people that my son Stanley is …

‘Like she owned the rights to every baby name in the family’: Entitled aunt insists new parents rename their baby and give him a more ‘biblical’ name, parents adamantly refuse
As children, some of you might have kept a list of baby names either in your noggin, on a piece of paper, or in your iPad’s Notes app. You probably used these names when you played «house» with Sally and Jimmy from next door. Having your mind set on names early on in your life …

‘»You don’t own a name»’: Entitled sister-in-law claims she will name her baby after woman’s late 7-year-old daughter, then doubles down when woman calls her out
Grief is a weird, sensitive thing. No single person grieves exactly the same as another, and that’s because we’re all different in the way we feel and process emotions. Losing a loved one, especially prematurely, is never an easy thing to go through; you’d hope that the family you have around you is supportive in …

20-year-old tries to stop sister from naming her newborn after a fungal infection, sister says she’s ‘stepping way out of line’: ‘Just tell the husband what it means’
I’m all for an unconventional name. I know people love to give celebrities flack for the offbeat names that they often choose for their offspring, especially the Kardashian variety. But personally, I don’t mind a name with a little bit of flair. It may get a groan from your relatives but I have a feeling …

Parents refuse to name their baby ‘Henry’ after his paternal grandfather, grandmother berates them for not following family tradition of naming male heirs ‘James’ or ‘Henry’: ‘She said I was breaking a tradition that went back hundreds of years’
I’ve never understood naming the men in your family the same thing, generation after generation. It’s confusing, and IMHO, it dilutes the significance of the name. If everyone is John, then the original John is just one of many. I like passing down family names through middle names. My mom’s middle name is «Wainwright,» after …

New mom wants pregnant sister-in-law to change her baby’s middle name in case she wants to use it for a second child: ‘The in laws googled our names and found the registry’
Names are curious things. They carry a lot of weight to them, even when we don’t want them to. We might hate our names and spend our whole lives shaking them off. But our parents had a different idea. They probably spent a lot of time and energy picking out our names, making them meaningful, …

Woman gets pregnant, demands 23-year-old cousin give up her name so her daughter can have it and fulfil ‘family prophecy’: ‘I need you to release the name to her’
Pretty much every family has their traditions, and some take them more seriously than others. Some are pretty standard, fun things, like having a specific game that is played during the holidays. Others are a lot more idiosyncratic, and not everybody is going to subscribe to them to the same degree. It’s a matter of …

‘YOUR KIDS WILL NEVER EVER EVER FORGIVE YOU EVER’: Shakespeare-obsessed pregnant woman wants to name her twins Romeo and Juliet, much to the horror of her husband and best friend
There are so many ways that naming your kids can go wrong. Obviously, there are names that you wouldn’t want to give a kid individually (Iago, Adolph, Ebenezer, etc), but naming all of your kids related things can be a whole different can of worms. If done well, your kids could be like the three …
