Mum called 'spiteful' for pinching sister's dream baby name - but says it's fair game

We all know you can't call dibs on a baby name, and if someone chooses to name their baby the same thing you'd like to name yours, there's not much you can do besides stick with it or pick out a different moniker. However, if the name you want for your child happens to be the dream name one of your close family members has picked out, you might want to sit down and discuss it with them first - or you could risk a major fall out.

That's the situation one mum has found herself in after she pinched her sister's dream baby name in the full knowledge that her sibling had been wanting to use the moniker for some time.
