A Reddit post highlights a family drama where a 10-year age gap between sisters led to resentment and bullying. Ethel disliked her traditional name due to past bullying and took it out on her younger sister Wren, whose more modern name she envied. The post sparked discussions about parental naming trends and how they can impact sibling relationships.
Siblings are meant to be each other’s support system and be there for one another, but sometimes, they can be the source of the problemThe poster, Wren, explained that she had a 10-year age gap with her sister, Ethel, which is probably why their parents had given them such different namesEthel hated her “grandma name” because she used to get bullied about it a lot, and so she felt resentful toward Wren, whose name seemed more modernEthel kept putting her sister down whenever adults weren’t...
“We often see parents choose more traditional names for their sons and more modern names for their daughters, or when there is a large age gap between siblings, as in this case. It’s normal for parents’ name styles to evolve over time, so siblings with a significant age gap sometimes end up with names that are not cohesive,” Sophie explained.of parents in the UK, nearly one-fifth say that they’d choose a different name for their kid if they were given another chance.
Sophie Kihm said: “it strikes me as extremely rare for a name in and of itself to cause resentment between siblings. Even in this situation, the older sister is dealing with her own insecurities and projecting them onto her younger sister and her name.” This will help combat some of the possible negative feelings they might have towards their name. In case the child still hates their title, it might be better to look deeper and see what exactly is causing them to feel that way. In Ethel’s situation, the bullying must have been the main cause of her feeling so angry. Sophie gave us a bit of naming advice that parents could follow if they planned on having multiple children.
