Typical stupid Sister feud....

in 2nd Trimester

My sister told me the name she picked out if she were to have a boy. Keep in mind she isn't even pregnant and isn't getting married until August. The name she picked out was Gabriel David. David is our Dad's name. Well I asked her if she wrote David just because or because she wants to use our Dad's name as the middle name. She said she wants to use our Dad's name as the middle name. Long story short I told her we're using David as the middle name (or possibly Pyfer which is our Mom's maiden name). She's like Oh, well we already picked that as our middle name if we have a boy. Then she has the nerve to tell me that she won't be mad if we use the name David. It's like hello...if I only have girls after this and you only have girls then no one will get to use the name!

I just got this e-mail from her...lol...

You didn't pick out the name first! Just cause you talked about it with Jon doesnt mean you picked it out first! Just cause I didnt tell mom first doesnt mean you picked it first.  As long as I can remember, I always said I would use David as the middle name for a boy and Kathleen for a girl.... You never told me that... you didnt say anything to me about it, when I picked out gabriel as the first name. 

The joys of being best friends with your Sister. Big Smile

    Confused Sisters can be lame...  I say use it if you want to and let her get over it.  Worst case scenario - you both have boys w/ mn David.  So what?

    IMO it's just a middle name and I don't think it matters if relative babies have the same middle name, especially if it's named after a member of the family. ?

    haha your sister sounds like mine. i showed our parents the bedding we planned to use w/ our daughter and i guess they showed my sister and she said "they stole my colors!" (she had a girl in jan and we live across the country so we have NO idea about anything that she has because we've never seen it). my parents replied "actually, katy, you stole HER colors because she has loved those colors for years AND they were her wedding colors long before you had your daughter".

    sisters. pssh.

    Ditto this. Genelle is used in almost all ladies in the family. I few people spelled it differently though.

    Wow. She needs to get over it. You can BOTH use it as a middle name! At least it's not the first name, you know?

    My family:
    Dad = Michael Joseph
    Brother = Michael Joseph
    Uncle = Michael
    Uncle1 = John
    Uncle2 = John
    Cousin1 = John (son of Uncle1)
    Cousin2 = John (son of Uncle2)

    ... it's kind of a running family joke, but my sister's BF/FI's name is John, and my DH's name is Sean (which is the Irish form of John). It's a whole lot of fun for us.  But yeah ... you're using it for a middle name. And dude, you're pg first and giving birth soon.

    She needs to get over it.

    Use it anyway.  My dad, uncle (on mom's side), and cousin all have the first name David.  No one cares.  And if it's a middle name, it's not going to be seen that often anyway.  Unless you plan to always call your child by his first AND middle name.  So I say don't stress, you can both use it!

    Its a middle name, bfd.  We are using my father's name as a middle name even though my sister both have used it for their sons.

    Yeah, they joys of sisterhood!  Is she the older sister?  Is that why she "called" the names?  That is what my sister did.  Even though I had my daughter 8 years before she did I could not use GM name...I am too much of a sissy to stand up to her!  Too many beatings from her as a child!  :)

    The best thing is that she now has two daughters and the older one is SOOO mean to the little one.  She is getting to see what she put me through!

    Sounds immature of her.  You can have 10 kids and they all can have David as the middle name (my SIL has both of her boys with the same middle name).

    Dont even bring this up anymore.. during the birth just give the baby what ever name you want to give him/her and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it. if she want to be mad instead of happy during the birth of  her nephew / niece than let her, but she's missing out on the best moment.

    Good luck

    Sisters...they're such a joy!  We're naming our little boy John Thomas.  I do NOT want him called J.T. - either John or John Thomas.  My sister has informed me that the name John is gross and only refers to him as lil' J.T.  I'm pretty sure she's doing it on purpose but she's about to see some serious pregnant rage.

     
     You should both be able to use the middle name.

    That is so ridiculous.  My sister and I both would like to name any future little girl after our grandmother.  When my sister was pregnant she told me she wanted to name her daughter Violet.  As I have always said I wanted to use this name I shrugged and told her that there could always be two Violet's in the family.  No one owns a name.  She didn't like this option of course and named her daughter Ainsley.  However, I never told her I had exclusive rights. 

    You and your sister should name your kids whatever you like, and who cares if they are the same.
