We live in an age where uniqueness is a virtue in baby naming. It makes sense that you would want to name a child something that you have no preconceived negative opinions about; who wants their kid to have the same name as that one kid in Elementary school who lobbed spitballs at your head or the girl at your first job who always asked you to cover her shift, but never agreed to cover yours. All classic names like John, George, Paul, and Randy are probably associated with someone you've already met, and it's normal to want a clean slate with your kids.
While it seems like every new parent is naming their kid something unique, just as many people criticize these wacky names, deeming them "Tragedies." The mother and daughter-in-law in this story are some of those people, and their willingness to harass their daughter/sister-in-law for her unique name knows no bounds.
