Teen Says Sister Is Resentful Because Parents Gave Her an 'Old-Fashioned Name' — and She Has a 'Better' One

A 16-year-old girl says that she and her 26-year-old sister are at odds — over the names their parents gave them.

In a post shared to Reddit, the teenager writes, "For whatever reason our parents name taste was different at 40 (when they had me) than it was at 30 (when they had my sister). My sister ended up with an old fashioned name Ethel. While I ended up with a modern-ish nature name in Wren."

Her sister, the teen adds, "hates her name and was really resentful that I got a better name and that our parents had given me a younger sounding name completely."

"She was the only person in her class at the time who had an older name. Most of the kids she went to school with were either really trendy names or place names," she writes. "I know my sister was bullied at one point for being given a grandma name. I'm not sure if she ever told my parents but she made sure to tell me and to make me feel bad for it."

When the two were younger, the teenager says that her sister used to say she "deserves to have things as easy as I did" and often "picked on" her appearance.

"In recent years it's become more clear that she blames mom more than dad for the name," the girl writes. "Mom was the one who had most of the say in naming us, according to our parents. And when my sister saw the list of names considered for each of us a couple of years back, she got even meaner to my face. She even told me she never wanted a sibling and why did I have to be born at all."

The girl adds: "For whatever reason this Christmas just made me so tired of it all and she told me she hated the fact they did a better job with my name and how awful hers looked and how I was selfish for having my name."

This time, the teen defended herself and, after Christmas, spoke to their mom.

"I told her I didn't choose it and I shouldn't be bullied because of it," she writes. "My mom listened and she and dad confronted my sister over the stuff. My sister said I was such a snitch and a little spoiled brat to boot and how I shouldn't have said anything."

Now, the teen worries that she was in the wrong for speaking to their parents.

Other Reddit users don't seem to think so.

"Whatever her problem is you don't deserve to be treated that way, I have an old lady name I hate so I go with my nickname. She's a full grown adult bullying a kid," wrote one commenter.

Added another: "Given the jealousy, don’t expect to ever have a relationship with her as adults. If at 26 she is still bullying a 16 yo, she is not going to mature."
