I can’t stand my sister’s new baby name so I told her but now people say I’m ‘closed-minded’ and ‘sheltered’

The woman explained that her sister started to cry when she told her that she didn't like her choice of "Locke" for the little girl.

She explained that her sister called their first son Sailor, which she didn't love but it did grow on her.

Taking to , the woman said: "My sister just had her second baby. It was a little girl and we were all really excited for her.

"She had decided to keep the baby name a secret because didn’t want anyone trying to change her mind like we all did with her first baby.

"Her first baby name was pretty unique but not extremely. She named her first born (a boy) Sailor and while I didn’t love it at first it grew on me.

"Of course I love my nephew though and that’s probably why. So honestly we were all fully prepaid for it to be another unique name but I was not expecting this name at all.

"She named her daughter [Locke]...

"When she told me I was honestly pretty shocked but said nothing. My plan was to say absolutely nothing UNTIL she asked me what I thought.

"I don't know if my parents had lied or actually liked it but they told her they loved the name.

"When she asked me again I told her the truth... I told her I didn’t like it or understand it. This made her pretty upset.

"Of course she’s very emotional right now and started to cry immediately. She asked me why I would say that and I just responded with “you asked for my opinion!” Which only upset her more and I had to leave.

"I left and my father texted me later telling me I better apologise and tell her I love the f***ing name. I said I would apologise but I wasn’t gonna lie! She had ASKED my opinion!"

Fellow Reddit users were quick to jump in with their thoughts with plenty saying she was in the wrong.

One person said: "I actually went to school with a Locke and she was never bullied. I also know a few baby Sailors. I think you don’t know how close-minded and/or sheltered you are."

Another said: "You are an a**hole. It's like telling someone they have an ugly baby if they say 'isn't my baby cute?'"

While a third said: "Obviously she wasn't going to change the name, so you didn't tell her that to help her, just to hurt her. Also, I think Locke is a beautiful name."

But not everyone felt that way some agreed that she should have said that she didn't like the name.

One person said: "If you're not prepare for the truth don't ask the name is awful. By the way both of them are awful."

Another said: "You’re a family member and you were asked for an honest opinion, which you gave without being overly rude.

"And babies need people like you to stand up for them and say when a name is f***ing stupid."
