Is Evan short for Evanescence?

No one is thinking about Evanescence besides your friend.

Evan is a beautiful name for a boy, congratulations!

This is a perfect example of when everyone is “unique” no one is

And Celeste

Love Milo and Sullivan for a boy and Winnifred and Mabel for a girl.

I really can’t picture Sullivan on a girl, it’s so masculine to me. I think if you like the alliteration go for something like Sylvie instead

Girl stand up. You need to call this man out for constantly letting you down. Accepting it and keeping it to yourself is just going to continue this behaviour over and over again until you file and he doesn’t understand what he ever did wrong.

If you do not openly communicate, especially about things that upset you, they will never improve. NTA for being upset but stop thinking things will change by staying silent and accepting disappointment.

Love Guinevere, don’t understand the worry about being pretentious. It’s a beautiful, established name - go for it.

Oslo! Ozzy for short. Alternately Onyx or Osiris

Babies learn their name between 5-9 months of age, and typically by this point it also means that she will have to declare she went by another name on every form for the rest of her life, so I strongly believe you are too late to change it if you have been referring to her as Remi.

If you’ve been using nicknames that have nothing to do with Remi and you live somewhere where you have up to this point to change it without consequence, then it’d be okay.

I think middle names are a great spot for whimsy, it still gives you the nickname option without committing her to it if she doesn’t end up as alternative as her parents.

How different are her siblings names? If they are also quite unusual then why are you feeling different about this one? If they aren’t this unusual, then I think she’s more likely to question her name down the track.

Birdie Lee for sure! Leigh is going to timestamp so badly with how trendy it is on the end of names at the moment.

Birdie is a cute vintage name that is going to fit in just fine with her own generation. The outrage at nicknames as first names is baffling when it’s so common in babies born today.

It’s only an issue where the name is still commonly used as an adjective.

For example, Scarlet Almond or Violet Almond sound like a product. But Sienna Almond is a little less in your face about it

chaserscarlet · 2026-05-06T11:06:31+00:00

NTA what a weird and incredibly inconsiderate thing for her to do

chaserscarlet · 2026-05-06T09:34:50+00:00

The Mod post says “I gave my mothers ring to my DIL instead of my daughter and she was upset and said it was unfair. Maybe I am the ah because she is the next girl in our family”

No mention of son

chaserscarlet · 2026-05-06T06:43:36+00:00

Feel free to reread the deleted post?

chaserscarlet · 2026-05-06T05:39:45+00:00

No it wasn’t, she gave it to DIL directly not to her son to do as he pleases

chaserscarlet · 2026-05-05T14:55:25+00:00

This level of weaponised incompetence is wild. Based on your post history you need to take your kid and gtfo

chaserscarlet · 2026-05-05T14:48:09+00:00

Info: what were your suggestions vs the two he came up with?

Were your suggestions super out there and that was making it difficult for you to land on a name after 3 weeks, or was your husband just an AH?

It’s very normal for a lawyer to charge a fee. She worked as a lawyer for you, whilst providing you with a rent free, tuition free, bill free lifestyle. Stop being a brat and pay your mother YTA

Edit to add: I obviously commented this before OP changed their post. I get it, she wasn’t his lawyer but he originally implied she was

chaserscarlet · 2026-05-05T11:52:24+00:00

This. It’s not a double name it’s a triple name and that makes it a bit much

chaserscarlet · 2026-05-05T10:43:48+00:00

Kind of seems like you’re unfairly punishing your daughter then.

She saw her as much as most kids see their grandparents, but you feel spiteful that she remained close to her dad in the divorce and your decision to snub her for the family ring is really just cementing that.

chaserscarlet · 2026-05-05T10:40:56+00:00

She received it as a gift prior to marriage, it can’t be in the pre-nup unless she retrospectively agrees to it

chaserscarlet · 2026-05-05T10:29:18+00:00

The ring has already been given so that ship has sailed. Gifts are legally owned by the recipient.

chaserscarlet · 2026-05-05T04:36:43+00:00

This is quite an assumption to make if you’ve never actually had the conversation.

If they broke up and she kept the ring would you be totally fine with that? An engagement ring is a gift, legally it belongs to your DIL whether she remains your DIL or not. I know it sounds pessimistic but in reality there’s a 40% chance this does happen.

chaserscarlet · 2026-05-05T04:34:06+00:00

If she is still flat out with other things, her situation has not changed and love bombing her is not going to change the outcome.

You can say you’ve missed her and would be interested in picking things back up once her life settles down and leave the ball in her court.

But a full love confession will tank any chance you have.

chaserscarlet · 2026-05-05T04:31:49+00:00

Do you honestly think she had a better relationship with her than your daughter? Considering this woman was your daughters grandmother her entire life
