'I think my daughter has the coolest name ever - strangers love it and say it's so unique'

A man has proudly shared that he's given his newborn daughter the 'coolest name' ever - though reactions have been mixed. He named her Estuary, often shortening it to Esty, and has reported numerous praises from strangers.

However, this choice has stirred up a 'name war' within his family, particularly with his sister, who feels outdone. Posting on Reddit, he stated: "I named my daughter Estuary (nickname Esty) and my whole family loved it and said it was so cool and unique! Even strangers on social media were saying it's the best name ever."

"My sister named her son Bartholomew Kingston which is really old man and boring and no one likes it nearly as much as my daughter's name, and she's holding a grudge against me! It's not my fault I don't like old people names!"

Hoping for some feedback, he took to social media asking if he was in the wrong for choosing a more 'outstanding' name than his sister. The online community gave him mixed comments: "Well, it seems that your sister took all the intelligence from your parents."

remarked one user while another suggested: "Now listen, maybe your sister was jealous of your creativity and was copying you because there's a town in Washington called Kingston and it's on an estuary! "

Another voiced: "If everyone tells you it's cool or unique, it means none of them are being honest, they just don't have the heart. I will guess this is only scratching the surface of your unique quirkiness."

An additional user chimed in with: "Unpopular opinion but Estuary is such a horrendous name."
