“YTA. Josephine/Rosie is dead and doesn’t have to hear the name anymore. She has no idea and never will. Meanwhile, your sister found a name that has family significance and is really pretty, and literate, and makes your mom happy. And you just had to go stick your nose in your sister’s baby-naming business. How does it hurt any of you for her to recycle a name and let it be positive? Just let her live her life. Nobody is hurt by her choosing a name. However, YOU have hurt someone very much, someone who’s alive, and now you’re feeling smug about it because you’re somehow caping for a long-dead lady. Cut it out.”
