Entitled mom tries to “reserve” a baby name despite knowing cousin planned on using it since they were kids, leading to a dispute at a family gathering: ‘You can’t use it’

It's quite silly to realize just how sensitive people have gotten when it comes to their issues around baby names. Firstly, because they have developed this weird need to find the most "original" name they can come up with, something no one has even used before, just so that their baby would be "one of a kind". All while completely disregarding the fact that their child will have to live with that name for (presumably) the rest of their life.

Secondly, sensitive people cannot stand the idea that someone they know might be after the same name that they plan on using. Heaven forbid two people would have the same name, what an unthinkable thought…

This always makes me think about my dad's family, whose very traditional and very big. They usually name most of the men in the family after the grandfather's name, which is why my dad shares his exact name with 7 other cousins. Do any of them care? Absolutely not. If anything, it actually creates quite a lot of funny stories to share a family gatherings.

The family gathering in the story below is not filled with funny stories, unfortunately, because the people there are really sensitive about baby names. Which is why one cousin is now trying to call “dibs” on a baby name, even though she knows she has no right to declare a name as something she owns…
