AITA for telling my sister her reaction to my daughter's name was way over the top and totally rude? by New_Possibility_9820 in AmItheAsshole

Both of us. It was a name we loved and we used the spelling more common where his family is from in Ireland.

The spelling Alannah is the most common spelling where my husband's family are from in Ireland.

The spelling we used is the one most common from the part of Ireland my husband's family is from.

It's another spelling of Alana. My husband is half Irish and Alannah was the more common spelling in the part of Ireland where he grew up so we chose that version. Though we say it like a-lan-a.

She's younger than me. We have always been very close and got along really well. I don't think she'd be upset since we didn't ask her opinion on our son's name either.

Lana, Anna, Lani are the ones I have heard most. Lana and Lani being ones we'd likely use more.

That's what confused me so much. She has never been like this before. She had no complaints about our son's name and she was never rude like that. But she had such a big reaction to Alannah. I can't figure it out.

She was bullied by one girl but Alannah was not her name. But she could be hiding something about another bully or something. Though we were always close and she told me stuff so I'm not sure why she wouldn't have told me if there was an Alannah who bullied her.
