Emma was overjoyed when she found out she was pregnant. It had been a while since she and her husband Jack had a child, but now their dreams were coming true. Things did not go as planned, though.
Emma wrote a letter about what happened.
Emma recently wrote to us to tell us about her problem and ask for help. “Hi!” After reading a lot of letters from other people, I was brave enough to send mine too. I had a beautiful boy with my husband. It was hard work and a long labor, but holding my new son in my arms made it all worth it. I knew we picked the right name for him the moment I looked into his eyes for the first time. Benjamin was the right size for him.
But not everyone liked the name. “This was a surprise for everyone because we chose his name after he was born.” Alice, my sister, went crazy when she heard that we were going to name the baby Benjamin. We had to change the name because she said it was on her list of names for babies since she was a child.
She went on, “I knew about this list, but I thought it was something for kids.” She is also single and doesn’t plan to get pregnant any time soon.
“Alice wouldn’t let it go.” Over the next few weeks, she became more and more clear about how she felt. “She came up with different names for everything, from the slightly odd to the completely crazy,” Emma wrote in her letter.
“I did my best to wait.” At a family dinner a month after Benjamin was born, things got worse. My parents and Alice were coming over to celebrate the baby’s birthday with my husband and me. Evening began with laughter and stories, but things quickly turned bad when Alice brought up Benjamin’s name again.
“I looked at my parents for support, but all I saw was them nodding along with Alice.” Then my mom said in a soft voice, “Alice is right.” Benjamin is a beautiful name, but she picked it out before you did. Why not think about something else? “Our family comes first.” Emma said this.
“The family is now torn about the moment I need them the most,” she said. Do you think this name was a terrible choice?”
