Sister upset me on due date, am I being too sensitive?

[OliveMoonLight]

Today is my due date and I've not wanted to tell people the baby names we have in mind, as I don't want to be influenced by others' opinions. My sister knew this but encouraged me to tell her today- I once again explained why I didn't want to say but I was so overexcited that I stupidly told her. She said that my boy name (we are having a surprise) is the name of her nasty ex boyfriend's brother and that she will be forever reminded of him. I'm so upset as that is the name that we love and we have taken 9 months to choose for sure, now she has tainted it and I'm really angry with myself for telling her and angry with her for going against what I said, which is I don't want people's opinions/input, let alone her telling me that, especially on my due date.

Don't know if I'm being overly sensitive as v emotional ATM as it is?

And would you change the name? I was so sure and happy with it but now I think it's just going to remind me of this and also knowing she will have such a bad view of the name etc, I'm not sure.

@MrsKwazi I darent share it anymore than I already have before the baby is here, as anything could set me off again, I'm all over the place atm 😂😂

Wow your sister is an arsehole.

I hope your sister doesn't try to behave the same way towards your dc(s) the way she has to you your whole life.

If she doesn't like your baby's name and will be forever reminded then that's just tough shit for her.

Keep the name and tell her she can shove her opinions where the sun don't shine.

You may regret changing your babies name as you had put a lot of thought and effort into choosing the right name for him and remember it was your sisters' selfish and mean words which have made you feel like this. The person she was referring to has nothing whatsoever to do with your child, so it will be ok.

I wouldn’t care. There will always be someone somewhere with the name you love. I’m a teacher so picking a name was hard enough! I ended up going with a name I love but was also the name of a cringy club promoter I snogged in my late teens! You lose the connection one it’s your child’s name.

Entitled, dramatic twattery. Stick to the name you love

I've had 3 names ruined so far in the same way. It's hard to brush it off, I think I'll take a leaf out of your book and choose to keep any more names to myself from now on! I hope you can get passed it and use the name you like 💐
