Stepmom lashes out at stepdaughter for not naming their 5th child after her: ‘She feels like I was disrespectful to her and her efforts to be a mother to me’

Baby names can be a great way to honor those you love or those who have passed. Think of all the times in TV shows when a couple symbolically names their child after someone who has helped them along the way. Not only is it a great storytelling device, but it’s a nice real-life gesture. …

Pushy grandfather insists on second grandchild being named after him, gets offended when son refuses: ‘ He made a comment about having to die before he’d get a child named after him’

Baby names can be a loaded topic in more ways than one. This is, after all, the moniker that your kid will likely be carrying around for the rest of their life. It goes deeper than just the baby, though; it’s easy to ruffle feathers in the wider family with your choice of name. If …

17-year-old girl named Sawyer begs family to use her name, paternal side refuse because they don’t find it sufficiently feminine: ‘They hate that I’m a girl with a boys name’

There’s a phenomenon where once masculine names become feminine in only a generation or so. There was a time when there were oodles of men named Kelly, Ashley, Leslie, or Carol walking around, only for them to disappear nearly entirely in 2024. However, some gender-neutral names have fought a good fight to stay gender-neutral. To …

Pregnant woman chooses baby name with her twin sister, abandons plan made with her husband: ‘I thought she truly respected me’

Twins tend to have a stronger bond than the rest of us can understand. Since they shared a womb, they’re connected in some ineffable way for life. I’ve known plenty of twins in my day, and even if they’re not that close, there’s still something that bonds them that’s stronger than regular siblinghood. But if …

‘You’re both idiots’: New parents make an unconventional baby-naming deal, husband wants out after hearing wife’s ideas

It’s a well-worn trope that celebrities give their children wacky names (Think North West, Moon Unit Zappa, or most of Nick Cannon’s many children). I wonder why that is. Maybe they know their kids will never struggle to find employment, so they’re not worried about burdening them with an unusual name.  Perhaps it comes from …

Unmarried childless woman insists her sister rename her baby because his name is on her baby names list, their parents double down on her demands: ‘They said she prides herself on that list’

Who could forget the S*x and the City episode where Charlotte finds out that an acquaintance of hers stole the unique baby name that she had planned to use? It’s funny because it’s kind of an absurd thing to be angry about, but it’s a totally relatable and understandable feeling. But as far as I …

Dude named Skyler claims giving boys a unisex name is unconscionably cruel, freaks out when brother-in-law named ‘Indigo’ disagrees: ‘He acted like I had demanded he name his son Ella’

I’m not completely sold on the idea that a name can determine your destiny. If I had gone by Emily instead of Emmy, I’d probably be the exact same person, but that doesn’t stop people from saying that I am not and could never be an Emily. The jury’s still out on whether being named …
