That was selfish.
And egocentric...
Let me add, narcissistic? Next person to find a relatable word!

Show it anyway45, you ruined the trend! I believe the problem isn't that she decided to hand her name down. It's that she handed it down to both of them after splitting it in two. It'd be just as bad if a man did it.
Yeah, and no one brought the "stupid words that don't exist" card until you said "brang". Brang? Seriously?
45 I was thinking it too.
45, oh stop it already, no one brought up anything even slightly sexist until you. And no, it is just as dumb when men do it.
EGOTISTICAL~

Show it anywayIf a guy named Fredrick had called his sons Fred and Rick? Yeah, no, I'd definitely call him a genius. But this woman, she's just crazy! Can you see how you're not making any sense?
You can't call my post sexist. I may not be right but i'm most definitely not being sexist.
I don't get why this FML is so bad... It's not like she named them Batman and Robin or Squirrelflight and Leafpool. I don't see how it's selfish either... People pass down their names all the time, just being known as senior and junior, so why is this any different?
97- So if you're not sexist, then are you an extreme feminist or something? Because you're taking this a little too personal, thinking that only guys can use their names to name their kid. I know plenty of women who name their daughters after themselves, so what are you trying to get at?
132, technically extreme feminists are sexist. (In the same way that the black panthers were originally racist.)
97- just go back to Walmart, and stop posting.
45: Nothing to do with gender. It's narcissistic in general.
97- I think your idea of the meaning to sexist is way off. This FML isn't sexist in any way. The only issue here is she named both her daughters after herself. It's also wrong to really assume it is an issue. Her daughters may not care when they're older and OP can also try to convince the mother to change one or both the children's names or make the name a middle name for them. She has a year after their birth to do so. At least I was told that you have 1 year during the childs first year of life you can change their name before it is permanent. If i am wrong about that my apologies.
She has 30 days to change their names. And I really hope she does!
188, you didn't say a word. Mine is vainglorious.
Conceded.
203: That's conCEITed. Hear at fml wee tri too manetane an nise, intelexual atmosfere.
203- conceited*
Self- Absorbed
Double standard. As 224 wisely said, men name there children after them ALL THE TIME?
their*
*shut the **** up
Ugly *****
Why....
Maybe she was thinking that when she's too tired to say both of their names, she can just yell Julianne! I dunno. It's better than my what my friend said. She said she was going to name her children Katniss and Peeta, and when she didn't feel like saying both their names, she would just yell "Peeniss!" Obviously she was kidding but there are some idiots out there who would actually do that.
Reminds me of the girl who sued her parents for the name. On news. "Talula does the Hula from Hawaii" -first name
Id her my mom if that crap was pulled on me. Good thing I am not a twin.
191/206 You've got to be kidding...
Robert and Barbara maybe? It's either that or Ricky Bobby.
Actually it was just Tula does the Hula. -first name. From Hawaii.
Ooh nooo! People really should realize that their children aren't pets...
So I can't name my child Loveless? D:
^you are no-one
Could have at least called them Juliet and Annie, just SOME sort of variation
or Julia and Annette or Jule and Annika or or haha. I do agree, she could have been at least a bit more creative and that way it wouldn't be a bit "much." Plus I find your name ideas and mine prettier than the latter.
Sit, fetch the remote, lay down, go to bed...

No, just general assery.
62- I believe 6 meant that they could go by their middle names, or, just somehow get a random yet cute nickname that stuck.
Was still a stupid comment
I didn't even like it when my parents named me after my dad, but it'd be worse of they'd named me AND my brother after my dad. I do not envy those girls one bit. Congrats on becoming a grandmother though, OP!
*if I thought I caught all the spelling errors. Mea culpa.
It'd be worse if you were a George Foreman, then.
My poor neighbors growing up: They were two boys, Danny and Chris. Danny, the older brother, was named for their father. Chris, the younger brother, was named for their mother. I'm the biggest dork on Earth and even I made fun of Chris for that.
I would think it was pretty cool! I mean, until I turned 12, but that's a long time.
You are 12+ a lot longer then 11- I feel bad for the kids.
Well I'm gonna name my kid "Dammit", so I can't judge.
I'm naming mine Jesus Christ. "Dammit! Get in here! And Jesus Christ! PUT THAT DOWN!!!""
Lol 29 "But Daaad, I'm not 'Dammit' I'm Jesus Christ!" I love Bill Cosby.
I can't judge either because I was gonna name my kid Dick
TBH I want to name my kid "********" or "Fucknugget" although I think my future partner may disagree.
Why are they going to hate her? Because she named them after herself? How is that any worse than a man hypothetically naming his son "Doc Bastard III"? Sounds like you have some unresolved mommy issues.
One is a tradition in certain families; this, on the otherhand, will only end in a new tradition of severe irritation.
If she named one daughter Juliann it wouldn't be so bad, it's because she decided to split them. At least that's what I got from it. Still doesn't seem that bad though.
Doc: It would be twins. The smaller of which would be affectionately known as "Little bastard." "Get over here, little bastard!"
Haha nice one
