This new mom was thrilled to name her baby after her great-great-great-great-great grandma but was completely hoodwinked by her dear ol’ granny with dementia—in the most wholesome way.

What’s in a name? Many of us have strong family ties to our ancestors that keep names like Wilhelm, Marvin, Collette, and Barbie cyclically repeating in our society’s name rolodex. Funnily enough, without a thorough background check, most of us would take our grandparents at their word when sharing old family stories, like the new mom in our next story. 

Read on for the cute family story that makes growing old fun again, where this grandma set the course for her grandbaby’s new future with a name that was completely made up. Because when it comes to a family name, it’s all about what you make of it, not the family tree or the proper lineage. It’s all about the story.
