Sister upset me on due date, am I being too sensitive?

Today is my due date and I've not wanted to tell people the baby names we have in mind, as I don't want to be influenced by others' opinions. My sister knew this but encouraged me to tell her today- I once again explained why I didn't want to say but I was so overexcited that I stupidly told her. She said that my boy name (we are having a surprise) is the name of her nasty ex boyfriend's brother and that she will be forever reminded of him. I'm so upset as that is the name that we love and we have taken 9 months to choose for sure, now she has tainted it and I'm really angry with myself for telling her and angry with her for going against what I said, which is I don't want people's opinions, let alone her telling me that, especially on our due date.

Don't know if I'm being overly sensitive as v emotional ATM as it is.

You’re not overreacting momma, that would upset me too! This is why we didn’t want to tell anyone our names either. Others’ opinions can ruin a really loved name. She shouldn’t have said that to you since she was pushing you to tell her. I’m so sorry.

It's not like she dated said person not said persons brother. She needs to get over it. If she can't that's her choice.

Definitely not being over sensitive. That's totally unreasonable of your sister.

This would have upset me too, especially right at the finish line. You trusted her in a vulnerable moment and she made it about her. That’s hard. But honestly, if that name feels right to you and your partner, that’s all that matters. People get over associations, but you’ll be saying this name with love every single day.
