Many people choose to keep baby names private until the very last moment for many reasons - whether it's to ensure they have their heart set on it or want to avoid others stealing it. One woman instantly regretted telling her sister her favourite name, as she used it before she got the chance, leaving her devastated.
The anonymous woman, who was trying for a baby, told her sister that she and her husband had picked the name Lori for a girl. Explaining the situation on Reddit's Am I The A**hole forum, she continued: "But my sister immediately decided she liked the name and wanted it. I dropped the conversation because I didn't want it to turn into some weird competition."
While the woman was battling with fertility issues and multiple miscarriages, the sister revealed she and her husband were also ready to try for a baby. Because they still wanted to use the name Lori, she decided to bring it up again.
