Woman Offers Pregnant Sister $500 Not to Use Her Dream Baby Name
The woman is "demanding" that her sister give up the name — even offering her money to pick something else One woman is telling her sister she cannot use her dream baby name — even though she might not ever have children. In a post shared to Reddit, the anonymous 30-year-old writes that she "always wanted kids, but due to fertility issues," isn't sure if she can have them. Her younger sister, meanwhile, is now eight months pregnant with her first child, a girl. "We were talking about names, and she proudly said they chose 'Isla' because it is unique and special to them," she writes in the post. The post continues: "I have always said if I ever have a daughter, her name will be Isla. I have been saying this since I was a teenager. Everyone in our family knows this. So when she told me her name choice, I told her that she cannot use it because it has been my dream name forever. I explained that if she uses it, she will ruin my future experience if I ever get pregnant." Getty Pregnant woman and second woman The woman writes that her sister "laughed at first, then realized I was serious." ADVERTISEMENT "She said, 'You might never have kids. I am literally about to give birth.' I said that was cruel, and if she cared about me, she would pick a different name. She said no, and now my family is split," she writes. "My parents think she should keep her name because she is the one having the baby, but some cousins agree with me that it is messed up for her to take the name she knows I have wanted for years." The woman adds that she also offered her sister $500 "to pick something else," but her sister said she is "being controlling and weird." "I feel like no one understands how important this is to me. I am heartbroken," she adds.

Those on Reddit, however, don't think it's okay to claim a baby name. ADVERTISEMENT Writes one commenter: "It's always weird when people 'claim' a name. Isla is super common right now anyway - I know of several preschoolers-1st graders who are named just that. And just because your family may have heard you say Isla, it doesn't mean they retained this info. It likely wasn't important to them!" Read the original article on People

Influencer couple brutally mocked over newborn son's obscure name: 'He's going to be teased'
An influencer couple has been brutally mocked online over their newborn son's obscure name. Clarissa Caleb and Shaquan Roberts, known as Riss & Quan, have gained more than three million subscribers on YouTube by documenting their day-to-day endeavors as parents to three young boys. But when they recently revealed their youngest son's moniker to the world, they faced immense backlash over what they decided to name him. In a video shared to TikTok earlier this week, Clarissa and Shaquan were seen holding up a heart-shaped glass case that was filled with little balls. 'Baby boy's name is...' Clarissa said before trailing off. 'Three, two, one,' Shaquan said as he opened up a small hole at the bottom of the glass case. The balls then fell out one by one, eventually revealing their newborn's moniker written underneath: Secure Arris Roberts. The clip got nearly three million views, and many people took to the comment section to slam the unusual baby name. 'Who names they baby Secure?' asked one user. 'What's wrong with parents these days?' wondered another. 'Sometimes I think y'all forget you are naming future adults,' someone else wrote. 'Secure? You parents in this generation really don't get it. "Secure" is a word that describes a feeling. It's not a name. But to each his own,' read a fourth comment. A fifth said, 'They be calling anything as names to kids these days.' 'You guys owe him an apology,' a different user scathed. 'Poor baby when he starts school he's going to be teased,' added another person. The couple also share sons Shine Anthony Roberts and Saviour Azaire Roberts. The clip got nearly three million views, and many people took to the comment section to slam the unusual baby name In a follow-up video, they explained, 'As you guys can see we decided to keep the theme of the [initials] SAR.' 'Shaquan came up with the first name and I came up with the middle name,' Clarissa dished. Clarissa also pointed out that his middle name 'has a little piece of her' in it, explaining, 'Arris actually means "best" or "superior." But it also has "ris" in there. 'It's Greek and my first name, Clarissa, is Greek as well. I just thought it was cute, I don't know.' 'We put a ton of thought into his name, like we always do,' Shaquan added. 'We definitely wanted to go with something unique, a name that pretty much not many people in this world have.
