Rebel and Rogue

Name changed for this as I don't want to be identified.

My cousin is pregnant and has just discovered she is having twin girls. All lovely. But she has announced their names are going to be Rebel and Rogue. And I am absolutely horrified. Sounds dramatic but especially the name Rogue which for me is someone who regularly breaks the law. I feel sorry for whichever baby is going to be landed with this name and who will possibly be ridiculed at school.

Am I in the wrong for having such a visceral reaction to this? I want to say something diplomatic about this but how?

Well, she's clearly absolutely fucking nuts, let's hope she regains her senses after the birth.

She is normally such a sane kind person. I don't get how she can't see what a bad idea this is

Sounds like a shoe shop

Oh gosh. They are a bit...much... Especially together! You can't say anything though. She won't thank you for it, and once the babies are here and named hopefully something else they will just grow into their names and it'll be ok.
