I'm no longer speaking to my pregnant sister because of her baby name
<br>
What started as an 'obviously' jokey list of baby names developed into a family feud when this sister penis enlargement surgery cost california - https://meneercasino.com/online-casino-tips/wat-is-zero-spel-bij-roulette named her daughter after a nasty infection.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Taking to the popular Reddit forum Am I The Ahole, a 20-year-old biology student thought to be from the US told how he gave his pregnant nurse sister a list of nasty medical terms that could double as girls' names.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Medications, infections and unpleasant animals featured on the list and he included obvious entries like 'Viagra' and 'Hernia' to evade any ambiguity.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
But now the relationship has ruptured, with the brother telling his 27-year-old sibling that her final choice is 'unacceptable'.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
And the mother-to-be argues her brother is wildly overstepping his boundaries by believing he has a say in her child's name.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Inspired by the gimmick list, she chose the name Malassezia - none other than a common fungal infection.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Malassezia. The baby's name is Malassezia. One of the names on my joke list,' the post reads.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Outside of the immediate issues (nearly impossible to pronounce on the first try, the "a" smack dab it the middle of it, the first syllable being mal-, literally meaning bad or evil), it's also the name of a very common fungal infection.<br>

'One that my sister and I are both genetically predisposed to. One that we've both had multiple times throughout our lives. Her daughter will almost certainly catch it at some time!'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
His sister and her husband were struggling with names and hadn't found one when the baby shower rolled around - just five weeks before the due date.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
As well as gifting her the '$900 wooden crib on her list', her brother added in the light-hearted baby name suggestions - a nod to their mutual involvement in biology.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'We have a really close relationship, and it was in line with both our senses of humor,' he wrote.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Two weeks later, the expectant mother had decided on the name.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'I pointed it out to her, and she said that yes, she knew what it meant, and she knew my list was intended to be a joke, but she just really liked the way it sounded.<br>

'I don't think the husband knows what it means - I think he'd reject it if he did.<br>

'She says that it's so obscure that no one will ever think twice about it. Except, you know, when little baby Malassezia turns 14, finds a weird spot on her neck, and goes on her phone to google what it is...<br>

'I told her that the name was completely unacceptable, and I was shocked that she chose it,' the post continued.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'I even suggested some similar names, like Mallory, Azalea or Anastasia, that would be more acceptable, but she wouldn't hear it!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'She said that since I'm not one of the parents, I have no business telling her what she can and cannot name her child and that I'm stepping way out of line.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'I think it's pregnancy hormones, and she'll regret the decision very soon after her daughter is born.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The majority of commenters side with the brother, and argue he should continue to fight to change the baby's name.<br>

'While your sis is right that it's her parental right, you're not stepping out of line. You're family and you're cautioning her.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Some even encouraged the poster to disrupt the process by revealing the true meaning to his sister's husband.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'I'd make a point of telling her husband what the name means,' wrote one.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'If it's not on the legal list of banned names then it devolves to common sense which is sometimes in short supply.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Another echoed the sentiment, saying: 'Just tell the husband what it means. He'll shut it down.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
And many were concerned about the little girl's future, arguing that she'd be bullied if anyone discovered her name's meaning, and could face a lifetime of giggles from members of the medical profession.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
One worried comment read: 'How is your sister not thinking about the embarrassment that is going to come with this name?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'The doctors at every baby appointment will know. I wouldn't be surprised if doctors and nurses giggle when they see her chart.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'And when she's in school kids will likely find out what her name means and bully her.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Tell your sister to think about her daughter's future. She's thinking too much about her feelings and not thinking about her daughter who would have to live with that name.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However, the more discerning in the audience believe the sister may be having fun with her panicked brother.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It seems more likely, particularly in light of her profession as a nurse, that she is keeping up the gag until the baby's birth, where she might reveal a more orthodox name selection.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
One said: 'Is it possible your sister is trolling you back about the baby name?'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Another chimed in: 'Thought the same. She's messing back.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'This is where my mind went too,' wrote one person.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Discussing baby names is a perfect opportunity for trolling, and watching people trying to be polite when you throw out some outlandishly hideous suggestion is just too much fun.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
With only three weeks to go until the baby's arrival, avid Reddit users will wait with baited breath for another, hopefully explanatory, installment of the baby name sibling saga.<br>
