Naming a child is a deeply personal decision, but what happens when your family members refuse to use the name you’ve chosen? One mom found herself in the middle of a family feud after naming her baby girl Kalia, in honor of her own mother, Lia. Her older siblings, who had a difficult relationship with their mother, were less than thrilled with the choice and started calling the baby ‘K’ instead.

Family Feud Over Baby’s Name: Who’s Being Insensitive?
Caught in a family feud, one mom is standing her ground after her older siblings refuse to use her baby girl’s name, Kalia. Named in honor of her mother, Lia, the siblings claim the name ‘triggers’ them due to their difficult relationship with their mom. Despite the mother’s insistence that Kalia is her own person, the siblings continue to call her ‘K’, hurting their mother’s feelings and causing tension. The mom finally issued an ultimatum: use Kalia’s name or lose the chance to be a part of her life. While her brother agreed, her sister lashed out, claiming the mom is being insensitive.
