Pregnant mom wants to name her baby 'Leanna' to honor late stepmother, sister pushes back because she wants to name her kids 'Lee' and 'Anna': 'That's a whole new level of entitlement'

Overbearing woman plans to use the same baby name as pregnant sister to show their 'special connection,' doesn't understand why sister refuses: 'Consider keeping your new child's name a secret'

Sharing the same as someone can be a huge form of respect . New parents often name their babies after a relative who has passed or someone in their lives who they want to honor. That way the child can carry on their legacy. However, having the same name as a peer can be confusing. I remember being in grade school with 4 different Olivias in my class. One of them had to go by Olive and the rest of them scrapped it out, using the first initial of their last name. It was a logistical mess, especia…

Wife Accuses Husband of Being "Unreasonable" Because He Doesn't Want to Name Their Baby "Novalynn," "Ryleigh," or "Caeleigh"

Millennials are killing the normal name industry, or at least so it seems. The weird names young parents give their kids have become bonafide memes at this point. I don't know if we'll ever get to a point where McKinsleigh will be considered a normal name by the majority of the population.
