The 30-year-old is reportedly a "movie buff" and fan of shows like Naruto, Game of Thrones and the YA sci-fi series I Am Number Four, and has landed on a unique name for her unborn child: Hinata Daenerys Six.
In the attached screenshot of a text conversation, the expecting mother explained the mashup name and even mentions considering "Aziraphale"—a character from Good Omens—as an additional middle name.
The original poster (OP), 15 years younger than her sister, has turned to the internet for help: "I genuinely wish I was joking. This kid will be bullied."
She laments that her sister dismisses her concerns, writing her off as "just being a judgmental teenager."
"I am frankly APPALLED by my sister and her choice of name for her future daughter," the OP wrote. "My parents are currently trying to talk her out of it."
At the time of writing, the post has received 10,000 upvotes and over 1,800 comments. Reddit users have slammed the mom-to-be for her "asinine" choice.
"Your sister is clearly not mature enough to have a child. He KNOWS the kid will be bullied, she's just putting her own selfish larping b******* above that because she has no respect or consideration for the child," one user wrote.
"This is the problem with people viewing a baby as an extension of their personality and not a living human being. I don't know if it's 'main character syndrome' or delusions of grandeur or what, but people naming their babies after weird sci fi or fantasy book characters is just cringey as hell to me," another wrote.
One user suggested her sister to try out using the name for a week or two in real-life situations.
For example, if she goes into a coffee shop, use that name for the order. If she meets a stranger, tell them Hinata Daenerys Six is her name.
"Have her try to make a dinner reservation as good old HD6. Make her live with the name until she realizes how impractical it is, and how horribly people will treat her kid," they wrote.
The OP provided more context in the comments and explained that she confronted her sister armed with the Reddit thread.
She reportedly called her manipulative, selfish and egotistical. Her husband is also aware of the name and "doing nothing" about it.
As it stands, the OP's parents are trying to talk her out of the name, but whether they'll succeed is yet to be seen.

"I've Never Been Able To Erase It From My Mind": People Are Sharing The One Movie Ending That Will Stay With Them Forever, And This Is A Very Solid List

One of the most challenging things to do is make a good ending to a movie. So when the ending of a film sticks its landing, it makes sense why it will stay with someone forever. So when Reddit user Elegant-Gene9433 asked the r/Cinema community: "What's one movie ending that will stay with you forever?" so many people shared their favorites. Here's what they said below: 1."Seven. 'What's in the box!?'" 2."Planet of the Apes. I was 6 years old when I saw this. I've never been able to erase it from my mind. Absolute cinema." 3."The ending of Cloverfield (2008) was extremely memorable… in that everyone in the theater was like 'that's the ending?'" 4."The Thing (1982). Favorite ending of any movie." 5."Ending of The Mist." 6."Cast Away." 7."Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)" 8."The Inception ending still has me wondering if I'm in a dream or not." 9."Oldboy is messed up. The main character's eyes and facial expressions in the final sequence hint that, despite the hypnosis, he still remembers the thing he chose to forget." 10."The ending of the Rebuild of Evangelion had me cheering and tearing up at the same time. It was 20 years in the making. An anime series that was cancelled due to budget cuts and didn't get the ending it deserved. A decent attempt to close the storyline with a movie. And then a whole focused retelling of the four movies. Those four movies are self-contained and amazing. But if you watched the previous iterations, it's even more satisfying." 11."Clue because I'm old enough to have seen it in the theater when different parts of the country got different endings." 12."The Departed. I did not expect that ending." 13."Uncut Gems." 14."Train to Busan. Tears streaming down my face every single time." 15."The Shawshank Redemption. Got chills just thinking about it." 16."I don't think I'll ever forget the ending of La Haine until the punchline happens." 17."Saw (2004). The collective gasp of myself and the entire theatre at the end was worth the movie ticket price. Never forget that." Is there an ending to a movie that you will never forget?

I've never experienced the same feeling since of stunned and dirty and hopeless and broken, while simultaneously admiring what a brilliant film it is."—DanimusMcSassypants "Planet of the Apes. I was 6 years old when I saw this. I've never been able to erase it from my mind. Absolute cinema." —Abuelofierrero"I was about 11 when it made its theatrical debut, and was all set to go see it. But then a neighborhood boy told me the ending with the Statue of Liberty. I was too young to realize at that moment he had 'spoiled' it for me until I went to see it and sat through everything already knowing the big it was then that I knew something had, in a sense, been taken away from when I saw the Mark Wahlberg remake for some reason I was totally — and happily — surprised by its ending."—tkondaks "The ending of Cloverfield (2008) was extremely memorable… in that everyone in the theater was like 'that's the ending?'" —wavesmountainbird"Funny enough, I was the only person in my entire group who saw the object falling from space in the final Coney Island shot. They looked at me like I was stupid, but in my mind, I was like, 'Why else would it show us a random shot of the ocean at the very end?' Lol, felt like a crazy MF for eight months until I confirmed my suspicions when it came to DVD."—MathematicianOwn9805 "The Thing (1982).

Happy ending."—tstitz "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)" —EliLuminous"This has been one of my favorite movies for probably 20 years, and someone pointed out something that I've missed the whole time: The last scene on the beach loops several times, indicating that Clementine keeps erasing Joel, and they are just doing this over and over again."—amtalx "The Inception ending still has me wondering if I'm in a dream or not." —ykz30"The morning after I first watched Inception, the song was playing in my head..."—Signal_Mention_8006 "Oldboy is messed up.

'Spider-Man 4' Confirms Return of Fan-Favorite MCU Hero and Villain

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors Just days after it was announced that "Spider-Man 4," aka "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," was bringing Jon Bernthal in as the Punisher. The new Tom Holland-led film is officially bringing back a fan-favorite MCU hero and villain. More news: John Krasinski Announces "A Quiet Place 3' Release Date Per a report from The Hollywood Reporter, it is confirmed that the new "Spider-Man" sequel will bring back Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. That isn't the only addition, as Michael Mando will also return to the fold to portray Scorpion. It will be interesting how the plot is set up, considering Spider-Man asked Doctor Strange to make everyone forget that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. This includes MJ, Ned, and presumably the rest of the heroes left in the MCU. Tom Holland as Spider-Man. Sony owns the rights to the Marvel character. Tom Holland as Spider-Man. Sony owns the rights to the Marvel character. Marvel More news: Disney Sets Date for Original 'Star Wars' 50th Anniversary Re-Release It would be believed that Spider-Man might have a run-in with Dr. Bruce Banner, and would hopefully not have to fight The Hulk in the process. "Spider-Man: No Way Home" was the last film that Holland appeared in as the Web Slinger and was easily the most brazen. Not only did Doctor Strange make an important appearance and memory wipe, but the comic-loving world got to see the return of Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin, Jamie Foxx as Electro, Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus, but Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield reprised their roles as Peter Parker as well. Marvel has waited a long time to start putting together the next chapter in the Holland-led universe, and it is believed that this may be the final one. Holland has spoken publicly about his desire to move away from the role entirely. There have been plenty of rumors regarding Marvel potentially moving on to feature Miles Morales in the role of Spider-Man, but recent reports indicated that MCU leader Kevin Feige has instructed everyone to not touch Morales until the "Spider-Verse" movies wrap up. Morales has become a mainstay and fan-favorite fixture in comics as Spider-Man, becoming even more popular due to the Sony video games that feature him in a prominent role, and the previously mentioned "Spider-Verse" animated films. It would be great to see him emerge in live-action, but that is likely not to happen for a few years. Whatever the case may be, Marvel has hit home runs with the current Spider-Man films, and the same should be expected from the fourth entry that features Holland. "Spider-Man 4" is due out on July 31, 2026. For more movie news, head to Newsweek Movies.
