SIL being a bit bitchy about name choice

My SIL is pregnant and has found out she’s having a girl. She’s announced the name despite only being about half way through the pregnant. The issue is that the name is the one she knew I was going to use if my last pregnancy had have been a girl. She also knows my husband and I are trying and recently suffered a miscarriage. I’m prepared to be told I’m being unreasonable because no one has claim on a name. I just think it’s really bitchy of her when she knows I had planned to call a baby girl this name.

she done similar with her last baby too, announced the name a few weeks before I gave birth and it was another one of the names we were considering

If she actually likes the name and wants to use it then she can.

There's a chance that you wouldn't have a girl if you had another and then no one would get to use the name they liked.

Stop telling people the names you've chosen. Good luck with your next pregnancy.
