I married my husband last year. After what felt like an eternity I got pregnant. We were trying and not succeeding and his family knew that. I cried a lot about it and skipped out on things because I got really depressed because it was not happening. (I have an ovulation issue and have been told it would be almost impossible to get pregnant). My husbands oldest sister named her child after my husband(first name) and now his youngest sister who got pregnant unintentionally wants to use the other name(middle name). I have made it clear that I was going to use the name. The oldest sister doesn’t understand why I am upset as it a “family name”. My husband is the only one in the family with that name. My husbands oldest sister also named her first child after their dad who has family name it goes back at least 4 generations that I know of. I do not feel my husbands name is a “family name” I think that family names go back generations your sibling is not generations. I also am upset that my husbands mom told me I was stealing the youngest daughters thunder as she is due a few days before me. (the same daughter that wanted to wear a wedding dress to my wedding) Again I got pregnant intentionally she did not. So am I the Ahole for being upset here? I know I cannot control what others name their child but I told them I was doing it.
