A battle over naming rights.
Imagine growing up with a cousin who's turned everything into a competition. From college applications to life milestones, it's been a relentless game of one-upmanship.
The OP (Original Poster) of this story, a 33-year-old woman, thought she'd left all this behind. Enter adulthood, jobs, babies, and... the same baby name? Yep, you heard it.
After years of rivalry, her cousin decides to name her newborn son the exact same name as OP's one-year-old. Plot twist? She kept it a secret until D-day.
Now, here's where it gets juicy: OP is steaming, not because of the shared name (let's be honest, it's a common one) but because of the secrecy and the silent "gotcha!" moment that her cousin was trying to pull off.
OP has been so miffed that she's resorted to calling her nephew "the baby" or "the little one." Petty or justified? You decide.
So, dear reader, as you sip your morning coffee or scroll through your feed during that endless office meeting, we're tossing the ball to you.
Is OP the villain for not wanting to share her baby's name, or is her cousin the mastermind behind the ultimate family troll? Dive into this delicious dilemma and tell us: AITA for refusing to call my cousin's son by his name?
We gathered some reactions from the Reddit community:
Netizens have weighed in, and while they get why OP feels blindsided by her cousin's secretive move, the consensus is clear: taking it out on an innocent baby isn't the way to go. \
One sage Redditor put it perfectly, suggesting OP should "Smother her with kindness by telling her you're so happy she loved your son enough to name hers after him."
If only the cousin had been upfront, this might have been a non-issue. But here we are. Hopefully, OP handles this with grace and avoids turning a naming squabble into a full-blown family saga.
We're curious to hear your thoughts. Should OP move past the name game, or does she have a right to her silent protest?
