Family drama over a name

So my sister is about 10 weeks ahead of me and has found out what she is having. She's having a boy and picked her name which is lovely. We haven't found out and have our boys name and struggled for a girls name, I mentioned I'd like to use my grannys name as a first name and she has went MAD saying that's her girls name and she wants to use it in the future blah blah. Baring in mind she is currently single so I'm not sure who to or when her future babies will appear. I was really close to my granny and spent a lot of time with her when my papa died. My sister didn't even visit or go to her funeral after she died! So I'm a bit like wtf it's not even a name set in stone just a name brought up in conversation but I'm a bit of an arse myself and it makes me want to use it even more now lol!!!!

Tell her to bog off

She has just went onto say i wouldn't like it if she used my boys name before me like omg my boys name is a random name from a baby list not a family name and she's welcome to be so petty to change her child's name out of pure spite ...this is madness

Use it, she’s being ridiculous

What's the name ? Can there be variations

Use it. Don’t pander to spoilt behaviour.

Use it

FayCarew · 18/05/2023 19:01

Use it. She might not have a daughter, or she might call her DD something different.

Velvetbee · 18/05/2023 18:59

Of course you can use it. And so can she, down the line, if she wants to.

Ophentru · 18/05/2023 18:58

Use it. She has no right to say you can't use it and sounds quite horrible
