"Ever since then I've been texting her a bunch of names, hoping that she'll pick a different one.

"Yesterday she got super annoyed and asked me why I kept suggesting names when she already picked the name so I had to be honest and I told her that Paradox is not a real name and she and her son are gonna be mocked.

"I've genuinely been stressing out about it because I know she is making a MASSIVE mistake.

"Now she has blocked me on everything and is refusing to acknowledge my existence.

"I asked my mum what she thought and she agrees that the name is 'a little out there' but it's my sister's choice at the end of the day.

"I agree that people have the right to name their kid whatever they want but surely there is a line?"

Fellow Reddit users were quick to jump in with their thoughts.

One person said: "I'm not going to lie the second I heard the name 'Paradox' about 10 million insults flooded my head."

Another said: "People who go out of their way to give their children unique names just for the sake of being unique are the a**holes.

"Do that s*** with a pet, not a person."

While a third said: "I agree the name is weird and quite possibly a huge mistake... but it is ultimately your sister's choice.

"And if you keep pushing I think you could possibly push into a**hole territory pretty quick."

Someone suggested it could work as a middle name rather than a first name, they said: "Could make a fun middle name though.

"Kid needs a bully resistant first name but if you wanna name your kid Ethan Gandalf Jones or whatever, that sounds badass."
