To tell my sister she's mad for naming her daughter this?

First baby. The name is a word. A word you would use to describe a very pleasurable feeling. No, not orgasm, before anyone says it!

It's absurd and I think someone should tell her. AIBU to say 'sorry, but it's ridiculous. You need to choose something else'.

My mum is all very supportive and says 'well, sometimes we don't like names. Then can't imagine them as anything else'

I think this is an exception.

May as well tell you the name actually, as my sister isn't going to be on MN! The name is Euphoria

She wants to call her Ewie for short, the nickname our late dad went by (he was an Ewan)

It's a terrible name, I'd make my feelings clear if it was my sister. Actually if my sister said she was calling her child this I'd laugh in her face

The meaning isn’t an issue in itself I guess, given Joy or Bliss are established names.

I don’t like the name, but it’s not as bizarre as you make out. Leave them alone.

Oh god no. Has she been watching too much Towie or other chavvy programme?

That is truly bad. My cousin called her DD a ridiculous name (can't say, too outing), suffice to say the chips is now an adult and has changed it and has not spoken to my cousin for quite some time.

Does someone in towie have a baby called euphoria??

I think your mum is right.

Yeah YABU to think you can inform her ‘you need to choose something else’. No matter how stupid the name is it’s not your baby, not your choice. Try supporting your sister instead

I quite like it. 🤷‍♂️

Aw leave baby ‘bursting on a pee then finally reaching a toilet feeling’ alone. It’s a lovely name.

euphoria, a hard no from me. But her baby I suppose!
