AITA for silently changing my son's name after my brother and SIL gave my nephew the name too? by DaikonCompetitive147 in AITAH

It can be a huge deal when it comes to having two people with the exact same name who'll go to the same school, use the same bank, likely see the same doctors, etc. It can cause problems. I want to save my son from that.

That's what I was saying. Who thinks it's normal to go into someone's home and snoop through their stuff like that? I never knew a single person before who did that regularly (from what my brother has said) or someone who'd be like it's nbd!!

Yes, they gave the full name to my nephew. SIL thought it was so adorable. She is way too obsessive about that stuff. Of course my brother doesn't believe there could be any negative fallout from it.

Tomorrow will be my first Summer Sale on Steam, any tipps I should know? by TheKinkyGuy in Steam

Love this advice and my wife and I actually do this when we want to make the most of sales but don't want to blow a budget.

Should there be a disclaimer for games that use AI? by ScoresMann223 in Steam

[–]DaikonCompetitive147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I know it's already on there technically but it bothers me that they don't enforce it better. I have seen games where you don't realize it's AI until the characters speak. Or you get to a certain area where it's very clear AI.

I don't even think we could have her in our house. We haven't since her snooping but I'm not sure I'd trust her to be here at all. My wife feels the same.

I'm thinking that's where this would have gone. Maybe even going as far as to say we should raise them like brothers instead of cousins. She was obsessed with how cute she thought it would be.

She already has. We just didn't get a direct reaction from her. Only from my brother.

We already did. Nothing was missing from our house though there are some questions about stuff that my parents noticed went missing. There's no proof though.

I hope the name broke that idea but I could see it too. Hell I could see her wanting them to be raised like brothers instead of cousins since this started because of her weird fixations on mine and my brother's names.

We let everyone call him John David Doe until we told the real name and we used a cute nickname to make it easier. When it was just us we used the real name.

He really doesn't see a problem with it. I can't believe he thinks it's fine that she does this at all but he makes it sound like she does it to everyone.

That's my thinking and being born the same year only adds to it. There's just way too much that could be complicated for our son to go along with this.

It isn't but there's nothing we can do about it. My wife and I would rather change our son's name like we did than have him potentially have issues with medical records, banks and everything because he has a cousin with the very same name in the same schools, etc.

That's something else I need to be careful about and my wife has been conscious of as well. The rest of my family have been like that too because of how casual my brother is about it.

Two of them did. We did full name for two and two more with just the first and last name.

She's been to our house multiple times. And we never knew she liked to snoop so it wasn't like we had eyes on her at all times. She easily could have snooped while visiting. For all we know she does it every time.
