Redditor Accuses His Sister Of Being 'Sh*tty Parent' For Naming Her Baby Girl Krxstxl Instead Of Crystal

Leona Martinez

In this story, things get pretty intense as the Redditor (OP) deals with his sister's unusual pick for her upcoming baby girl. Growing up with hippie parents who loved going against the norm, the OP's own experience of having a non-traditional name brings up some strong feelings about his sister's decision.

When the sister revealed that she intended to name her baby Krxstxl (pronounced Crystal), the OP quickly criticized that idea and accused her of being selfish and stupid. And a heated argument ensued.

The argument got intense, and the OP ended up calling his sister and her husband "sh*tty parents" for what he saw as using their child's name to make a weird statement. This creates a big mess in the family, leaving the OP wondering if he went too far with his words.
