A woman described her difficult situation online and asked if she had been the “worst person”. Because she had a falling out with her friends.

“I thought the spelling was a joke until she told me she was serious,” the friend said.
“I told her that the simple but beautiful spelling of her name would only ruin that girl's life.”
“When my friend reacted, he got furious and said, 'Stop being mad,' and I said, 'You're being mean,'” the woman explained.
“To be completely honest, why would you ruin such a beautiful name by including letters that don't belong there, when it's just misspelled and there's no other explanation? ?”
The woman went on to say that she texted a friend yesterday and “told her that she was going to change her name or at least go by her middle name because it's 'normal' for her to do so.”
She said the text messages upset her friend and the new mom told her to stop texting her, telling her she was a bad friend and that she was an idiot for making fun of her name.
“I don't think so. When I explained that I just thought the spelling was bad, she got furious and said I was her worst friend and that I would never see her daughter again,” she said. .
The woman said her best friend's husband also texted her to tell her to stop being so rude, telling her that “I think her spelling is cute and makes her unique.''
“It's certainly unique,” the woman explained, “but it only makes it harder for the girl, who will probably be bullied because of the spelling.”
The woman went on to say that she hadn't responded to her friend's recent messages and honestly said, “I don't think she's the worst here.”
She ended her Reddit post with the question, “So am I a terrible person for telling my friend that the name I gave my daughter was bad and would ruin her life?”
Many people were divided in the comments, with some agreeing with her and others supporting her best friend.
“I'm a high school teacher, and I'll say up front that you're right. Children with names spelled like that are almost always miserable. That child becomes 'Juliet Maria' as soon as possible.” Probably. ” one commenter said.
Another agreed, writing, “I came here prepared to call you an asshole, because in fact, you don't care about anything other than 'Juliet,' Our Lady of God, so I'm going to call Child Protective Services. Have you ever thought about it?”
A third said: “No, no, you can't. Does she know there's a reason we spell things a certain way?”
However, some thought she was out of line and argued that she went too far.
“You shared your opinion and should have left it at that,” one commenter criticized.
“You were told your child's name and then you started voicing your concerns, which is understandable, but when asked to stop commenting on their decisions, you continued, you fucking Bastard,” said another.
A third woman said: “You're right but you're still an asshole. The baby is here so why would you tell her to change the baby's name? New moms have enough stress. I'm holding it.''
The woman later updated her post to say, “Okay, I'm a terrible person for chasing that name over and over again. I'm sorry.”
She went on to explain that she texted her best friend an apology, but also sent him some screenshots of the comment section, including one to say, “I need to look at it from a different perspective.”
“I was supposed to be the godmother, so it was my fault for worrying so much,” she said.
