ANY woman with a sister knows you can always count of them to be brutally honest.
One new aunt proved just that when she shared her thoughts on her sister’s unique baby name pick.
In her Reddit post, the unnamed user revealed what her sister decided to call her first born.
The 29-year-old explained that she was “genuinely happy” for her sister, who “had a rough couple of years.”
However, this did not stop her from sharing her rather harsh reaction to her new niece’s name.
“It’s nice to see her so excited about something, that said, she’s taken the excitement to a weird level,” the original poster wrote.
“She’s decided to name her baby something unique, and I think it’s borderline cruel.”
The 34-year-old disclosed the name to her sister while she was still pregnant.
According to the Redditor, her sister had opted to call the baby M’leigha Seraphynne.
She said that her sister “insists” that the name is pronounced Mah-lay-uh Seraphine.
However, she said she is “adamant about keeping the ‘creative’ spelling.”
Her sister revealed her reasoning, explaining that “normal names are boring, and my daughter deserves to stand out.”

She recalled how she “just blurted out” her response, asking her sister if she was serious.
“She looked hurt and asked why I didn’t like it, so I, probably too bluntly, said: ‘Because it sounds like a WiFi password,'” she wrote.
The poster explained that her sister “immediately got defensive” and called her “judgmental and unsupportive.”
According to her sister, nobody else had a problem with the unique name.
“I tried to tread carefully, but I told her I thought the spelling was going to make her daughter’s life harder than it needed to be,” she said.
She pointed out that everyone will “constantly be mispronouncing it or spelling it wrong.”
The Redditor recalled how “things got worse” at a family dinner when her sister brought up the name again.
“I made the mistake of saying: ‘You know, you’re naming a person, not a fairy in a fantasy novel,'” she explained.
“She stormed out, and now she’s refusing to speak to me unless I apologise for ‘mocking her creativity.’
“I love my sister, but I can’t shake the feeling that she’s prioritising her ego over her baby’s future.”
Reddit users shared their thoughts on the unique moniker in the comments section.
“If your sister is telling you it’s bad, just imagine what strangers are thinking,” pointed out one reader.
“That is one of the worst names I’ve ever seen. I’d criticise, 100%,” agreed another person.
“She hates her unborn child,” commented a third Reddit user.
