I [24F] have a twin sister, Maisie [24F]. Maisie is pregnant with her first and due in February, and the baby is going to be a boy.
Last week she opened up to me and said that she and her husband [26M] have been fighting over baby names and she said she’s sick of hearing about it and just wants to settle on a name that they both like.
Maisie and her husband are both a bit geeky (not that there’s anything wrong with that) and she told me she wants to name the baby Luffy, as in the character from One Piece. Her husband doesn’t want this name and says the kid will be bullied.
She asked for my honest opinion and I told her that the name is silly and her husband is right. I tried to say this gently but really how gently can you tell someone their idea is stupid?
I suggested that she goes back to the drawing board on that one and maybe look at names of lesser known anime characters if that’s what she wants.
Maisie got upset and said the name is cute and we’re both just being closed minded. I told her she asked for my honest opinion and she got it. She kept trying to convince me that it was a good name and the conversation was becoming hysterical and I told her it’s a stupid name, end of discussion. She started crying and left and since then she’s been giving me the cold shoulder.
Our parents told me to just tell Maisie that I’m sorry because my words really upset her and I should’ve been nicer about it.
