The OP and her older sister were both expectingbabiesaround the same time. With her love of vintage names and after naming her own son George, the older sister latched onto one she was determined to make happen: Charlotte, as in the Bridgerton-inspired name. However, the OP, who had her own preferences for names, wasn’t on board.
Before pregnancy even entered the picture, the sisters already had a track record of clashing over names, with her sister wanting to follow in the footsteps of her belovedNetflixshow so badly. As time passed, her sister’s constant suggestions got more pointed and invasive, especially when she was leaning toward another name entirely.
