Aunt tells hippy sister her children will grow up hating their ridiculous names

An aunt has fallen out with her husband's family after she told her sister-in-law that her children would grow up hating their 'ridiculous' names.

The 27-year-old had been asked what her opinion was on her next niece or nephew being named Astra, Inky, or Lore. She described her 34-year-old sister-in-law as the definition of a 'crunchie' mum, a term used describe 'neo-hippy' parents.

Turning to Reddit to ask readers if she was in the wrong for being so blunt, the aunt said her sister-in-law's family is "vegan, with no electronics in the house, has all-natural toys and clothes for the kids, homeschooling, etc" and "wanted her kids to have unique names and not basic names".
