‘Am I wrong for telling my sister not to name her baby after me?’

Most people are honoured to have a loved one's baby named after them

This is the situation that one Reddit user found herself in and now she's turned to the internet to get other people's perspectives.

Explaining everything the poster wrote: "My parents named me Margaret Emily. I never liked either of my names. I go by Robyn, which is random I know but it was a nickname given by my grandpa and I loved it so much that I used it as my name.

"My parents were bothered by my dislike for my name. They asked what was wrong with it and I told them it was not a name I would use. They hated Robyn. Still do."

Even her grandfather received a lecture from her parents for giving her a nickname in the first place. Now when her sister announced she was pregnant she revealed that her baby would be called Margaret.

"My sister said how she wanted to honour me and brought all the attention onto me during the reveal. She was like 'We have two Margaret's in the family now and I know Aunty Margaret must be so happy and wants to get time with her mini-me,'" she continued.

"She also announced no nicknames would be allowed and to please respect that. Even some of her friends were so confused because people know me as Robyn."

When Roybn didn't react the way the sister wanted, the drama started with the sister accusing her of being "selfish".

"She asked me what the hell my problem was and why I made a disgusted face when she announced my niece's name. She said I was supposed to be touched and honoured that she did this for me.

"I told my sister she can't name her daughter after me knowing how I feel about the name, knowing I NEVER use it myself because I hate it, and expect me to be grateful."

She then asked her fellow Redditors if she was in the wrong to which they gladly offered their opinion.

"Your sister could use whatever name she wanted to, especially a name like Margaret, but to put you on the spot like that at the reveal when she knows you hate your given name was an assh*le move," penned one.

"She could've named her daughter Margaret WITHOUT putting you on the spot like that," agreed another commenter.

While a third offered a revenge plan, writing, "I suggest that you get little Margaret a onsie with Maggie on it."
