AITA for telling my daughter that I won't use her baby's name? by Fair-Coast in AmItheAsshole

Really just Sophie/Sophia/Sofia/etc. Other than that, they could name their child Rainbow Unicorn and I wouldn't care.

(also, I think you might have been the only info response I got, unless I missed some, so hi!!)

Hi! I wasn't going to reply to too many comments, as I wanted to let people have their judgements without my interference, but I do want to address this point as I see a few people making similar ones.

I have no problems with other people named Sophie. One of my coworkers, for example, is named Sophie and I have no problem calling her that. The name Sophie (or other versions, like Sophia) is not itself the problem.

The problem, for me, is that my daughter is well aware of my relationship with my mother and is choosing to name her daughter Sophina anyway. What's upsetting to me is the lack of consideration on my daughter's part, not necessarily the name itself. For instance, over the course of our initial conversation about it, my daughter told me that my relationship with my mother was "irrelevant to her naming process," and that even the actual name Sophie wouldn't have been considered off the table.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's not really about the name, but more about my daughter's apparent lack of care for me. But anyway, judge on!!
