The woman admitted she was taken by surprise when her sister told her what she'd be naming her daughter - and her natural reaction to the news was to burst out laughing

We all have our own taste when it comes to baby names, and there's no right or wrong moniker to pick for your little one as long as you're happy with the choice you've made.

But one woman is now feuding with her sister over the name of her soon-to-be niece, because she's not a fan of the name her sister has chosen - and decided to show her dislike by bursting out laughing.

The woman said her sister, 25, is currently eight months pregnant and recently told the family what name she and her husband had chosen while at a gathering of people including her parents, siblings, and grandparents.

In her announcement, the mum-to-be said she would be calling her daughter Deborah - and the moniker took her 22-year-old sister by surprise so much that she just began laughing.

The woman shared in a post on Reddit: "I have a sister and she is eight months pregnant. She waited until later in her pregnancy to talk publicly to our family about what she is going to name her daughter.

"My sister is quite traditional, and honestly thinking back on it the name she chose isn't surprising to me. So, my mum, dad, sister, her husband and my grandma were all at my parents' house and my sister was talking about her pregnancy and what her daughter's name would be.

"She said she's gonna name her 'Deborah', my grandma loves the name and my parents like it too but I started laughing, unfortunately. My sister immediately called me out and asked me what was funny, and I asked her if she was gonna really name her baby that.

"My grandma stepped in and said it's a pretty name and that it's better than 'modern kids' names'. My mum was p***ed off at me and made me apologise to my sister but I was so surprised at the name that I refused to apologise.

"Now my sister isn't talking to me right now, and I've tried reaching out to her multiple times, but nothing. My mum keeps trying to have me apologise to her, but seriously that name for a baby is crazy to me."

Commenters on the post were quick to tell the woman she was being unfair to her sister, as many of them pointed out her choice of baby name shouldn't be mocked as it's entirely her decision.

One person said: "What a rude way to react to a perfectly normal name."

While another added: "I could maybe give you a pass because we can't always control our reactions. However, instead of apologising, you doubled down and asked her if she was really naming her child that. The name is not humiliating or outlandish. It was cruel of you to do this, and on top of it, she's dealing with pregnancy hormones. Be a better person."

And a third posted: "You apparently recognise on some level that your laughter was out of place, yet you refused to apologise."
