A 27-year-old woman and her husband happily welcomed their daughter, naming her Lucy in honor of both their grandmothers. The woman’s family had a tradition of celebrating newborns, but when they revealed the name during a virtual gathering, the woman’s grandmother, who had changed her name from Lucille to Barbara in her childhood, reacted strongly. Offended and feeling mocked, she hung up, refusing to attend the baby’s party or provide the customary quilt unless they apologized and changed the baby’s name. The woman, shocked and seeking advice on Reddit, realized her grandmother had unresolved issues. Supportive responses emphasized it wasn’t her fault, understanding the grandmother’s perspective.
