Whilst many parents may choose to keep their preferred baby names under wraps, some may choose to share their options with those closest to them, trusting that they won't spill the beans to anybody else.
One woman was left horrified, however, when she learned that her pregnant step-sister had chosen the same moniker for a boy as she had - and she was a month further along, so was more likely to give birth first.
She took to Reddit's 'Am I the a**hole' forum to share that her step-sister was about to steal her "dream name" after she'd been "confiding in her, and asking her for advice." But things soon soured after the realisation, and the original poster was left gutted and "stressed", claiming it had put a "cloud" over her gender reveal.
