Becoming a first-time grandparent is usually met with overwhelming excitement. Tiny baby shoes, pushing swings to reach the stars, and spoiling the little ones with sweets their parents swore were off-limits. Sounds perfect, right? Well, apparently not for these in-laws. After a young couple joyfully announced their pregnancy, the soon-to-be mother was met with a …

Mom-to-be wants to name her daughter ‘Audrey,’ sister protests and says it’s too outdated: ‘We eventually just kicked her out of the shower’
I don’t know about you but I love an old-fashioned name. I love a name that sounds like it was plucked right out of a storybook. Why? Because it’s cute. A baby named Dorothy… c’mon. That’s adorable. A toddler named Theodore? Almost too cute to stand. A kid named Beatrice? Color me tickled. Because babies …

Husband wants to name his 3rd child after his mother, doesn’t understand why wife refuses: ‘I really truly fear that it will cause issues in our marriage’
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 …

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.

Dad scolds his 16-year-old daughter for being more excited about her mom’s pregnancy than her stepmoms, grounds her when she calls her stepmom a homewrecker: ‘I have little respect for them and their blended family they force down my throat’
I dislike adults who expect teenagers to accommodate their adult feelings. I’m not saying that teens should not show respect to the adults in their lives. I’m more annoyed when adults expect teenagers to act and behave like adults and get offended when they don’t. When I was in middle school, my theater teacher got …

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, …

Pregnant woman refuses to let mother-in-law pick her own grandma name, claims it’s ‘inappropriate and strange’: ‘She is no longer speaking to us’
As the women in my family get older, a big topic of conversation among them is what they want their grandma name to be. Most of them feel like they’re too young for the traditional monikers of «grandma» or «nanny» or even worse, «granny.» They want to get inventive with their names, coming up with …

‘I would start calling her kid Charlie 2’: New mom names newborn the same name as sister’s 4-year-old dog, demands sister change the dog’s name
A good dog name isn’t easy to decide on. It needs to be cute, catchy, easy to nickname (because you know that’s what you’re going to end up calling them anyway), and at least somewhat meaningful. There are a few solid classics, for sure. I know so many dogs (and cats, for that matter) named …
