My sister keeps calling my daughter by the wrong name – she even buys personalised gifts with other names on them
PICKING a baby name is no easy task and once you've found the perfect moniker for your tot, you come to realise someone important to you absolutely hates it.
Unfortunately, this is the situation one mum has found herself in, after her sister refuses to call her daughter by the name she'd given her child.
The mortified women claimed her daughter's name is Rosie - however, Rosie's aunt doesn't deem it a legal name and instead, reckons it's a nickname.
This means that whenever she picks up personalised gifts for the child, she'll buy ones with names such as Rose, Rosemary, and Rosalie printed on the front.
''Our daughter's full legal name is Rosie, not any of those. None of those are what anyone calls her,'' the mum wrote in on Reddit.
"I thought the first one with Rose was a genuine mistake but she keeps buying these gifts with the wrong name.

''I brought it up to her and she said it's no big deal since most people will assume Rosie is a nickname and not her legal name.
''I told her that didn't mean her own family should use the wrong name for her."
The duo then proceeded to have an argument over which of them was making a "big deal" out of the situation, with Rosie's mum insisting her sister was being "rude" by purposefully using the wrong name.
She went on: "She told me she would never understand the decision anyway.

''I told her that she was making it a much bigger deal than it needed to be. She told me I was.
"That's when I told her what she was doing was rude and she should stop.

''She accused me of being rude when she's giving gifts and I'm pointing out 'mistakes'.
''She also told me I was making too big of a deal out of it and making this a fight."
Fellow Redditors flocked to comments to defen the mum, with many agreeing that her sister's behaviour was "rude".
One person said: "Your sister is being weirdly passive-aggressive.
''Multiple personalised gifts with the wrong name for a baby? Those are aimed at you and her issue with you giving your daughter what she thinks of as a nickname."

Another added: "Start calling your sister different names and see how she likes it."
"As someone who is also called Rosie, nobody I know has ever assumed it’s a nickname and not my full name, especially my family,'' a third penned.
