Choosing a name for your future baby is a special experience for many parents-to-be. However, for one woman on Reddit, what should have been a joyful moment turned into a source of heartbreak.

After years of struggling with infertility, she and her husband kept a list of baby names they dreamed of using one day. But her hopes were crushed when her sister, who already has five children, chose one of those names for her newborn son.

Find the full story below, and see what baby name expert Abby Sandel had to say about it.

    I agree you don't own a name and if the sister decided on that name by herself, that would be perfectly fine. But to say what a waste, you'll never use that name anyway, blah blah blah --that's just cruel and unnecessary. And the snooping? What is wrong with the sister?? I wonder if she's jealous of Op, maybe Op had better job, husband, bigger house... whatever, and sister felt the only thing she has over Op is children and tried to rub it in.

    There’s a difference between gatekeeping names and being a spiteful sister. What the sister did was intentionally cruel.

    There's mean and there's cruel. Sis was cruel. That was just to rub it in OP's face that she's struggling with infertility. Downright spiteful. OP should distance herself from that vile person.

    There's no reason to struggle with infertility unless you've committed barrier crimes and wouldn't be able to have a legal adoption.
