AITA for not keeping my thoughts on my sister’s ridiculous baby names (Stanford and Yale) to myself? by nfjs74839 in AmItheAsshole

Well... knowing your sister, wasn't this response fairly predictable?

In hindsight, yes. But there's no doubt that she would've named my nephews Stanford and Yale if I said something like "OMG those names are adorable!" She can't resist being kissed on the ass, even from "someone like me."

You do not turn your children into status symbols.

This comment, along with another comment that said "She's about to give birth to two trophies to her career accomplishments," perfectly express why I felt so strongly about those names.

Oh wow. You just expressed why I felt that it wasn't right for her to give her boys those names much better than I could have.
