Aww thadsrad that sucks. I would be annoyed too. We also had a name for our m/c babies (was twins) and though we didn't tell others, I would be majorly upset if anyone had used those names after we'd made them public. ((hugs)) That is shitty of them

[lolaburns]

Uh. That is completely weird and ridiculous. There are a million names out there. I don't even remotely understand why they would do that.

Oh wow, that is terrible, devastating, insensitive, and wrong. Especially if it was known, more so because it was discussed that it troubled you so deeply. I'm so sorry that happened, and that you have to live with it.

[thedahliharpa]

It's fucked up but even worse that they were not upfront about it.
Also, I'm sorry about your loss.

[jaime183]

ugh I would be so pissed. thats just weird of them

[cat19]

I kinda want to punch them in the face. right now. hard.

[AndyCohen]

Ugh I'm sorry. That's so weird of them to use that name, but just really awful of them to lie about knowing what it meant to you.

[tuck]

I'm so sorry. They could have at least been honest with you.

[gmoneymommy]

I'm so sorry. That is super shitty. I can't imagine using the name of my SIL's miscarried baby. Poor, poor taste.

[charlielove]

That is so hurtful, I can't imagine. Have things between you all been okay since? I can't believe how insensitive they were for choosing that name, and I'm sorry for your loss.

Luckily, because of the babies we didn't see each other for a while. And this was an extreme example of a common thing with them-they are really self centered. So, I got over it.

I am angry for you. Truly, I am just... Shocked. What assholes. Honestly, that is completely unfair and even your MIL knew it. They could have, and IMO, should have picked another name. They knew it was what you wanted and from the sounds of it your SIL purposely talked you out of calling him by his MN on purpose. You have every right to be angry and feel betrayed. I'm sorry.

How is the relationship with y'all now? Are they still being total shady dick weeds?

[biblionerd]

That is such a douchey thing to do. It's totally not "stealing a name" and is a totally different situation with your loss. I can't believe they would do that.

All of this. So sorry that they suck.

[devotchka]

That is really shitty and thoughtless. WTH? Sorry you have to deal with that

[rjamz]

That's horrible, I'm so sorry. How could they possibly think that's ok? It's not like it was a secret and they just happened to use the same name or that it's the only name in the world. (Obviously I'm a big fan of the name, but there are plenty of others). It's early and I'm rambling but I'm feeling very outraged on your behalf for the blatant disrespect they showed you.

That is incredibly insensitive of them and to hide it from you is deplorable.

[Dorothy Zbornak]

That is really bizarre and insensitive.

[TrudyCampbell]

Wow. That is completely ridiculous and awful. Wow!!! I CANNOT get over this. Did you have a big talk about it?

[Deleted]

Thanks, guys. My dh and I had a long talk on the drive home from the hospital. Our options were to make a bigger scene and potentially destroy our relationship with our nephew, or to put it aside forgiven but not forgotten. Sometimes I have a hard time with the "forgiven", but I value the family dh has very much. I want Thad to have his cousin twin in his life.

[dojo]

You're a good person. I think you've made a wise choice, but it's got to be tough. I respect you a lot for that!

[laurack]

Completely weird and so shitty of them to do that. Wtf is wrong with people.

Sorry this happened to you and also sorry for your loss

[browneyedhunni85]

I think it was super crappy for them to name him that and act secret about it. That was so disrespectful to y'all if you ask me.

[kandrze1]

I'm sorry that happened. I would have been really upset, too.
