The 30-year-old is reportedly a "movie buff" and fan of shows like Naruto, Game of Thrones and the YA sci-fi series I Am Number Four, and has landed on a unique name for her unborn child: Hinata Daenerys Six.
In the attached screenshot of a text conversation, the expecting mother explained the mashup name and even mentions considering "Aziraphale"—a character from Good Omens—as an additional middle name.
The original poster (OP), 15 years younger than her sister, has turned to the internet for help: "I genuinely wish I was joking. This kid will be bullied."
She laments that her sister dismisses her concerns, writing her off as "just being a judgmental teenager."
"I am frankly APPALLED by my sister and her choice of name for her future daughter," the OP wrote. "My parents are currently trying to talk her out of it."
At the time of writing, the post has received 10,000 upvotes and over 1,800 comments. Reddit users have slammed the mom-to-be for her "asinine" choice.
"Your sister is clearly not mature enough to have a child. He KNOWS the kid will be bullied, she's just putting her own selfish larping b******* above that because she has no respect or consideration for the child," one user wrote.
"This is the problem with people viewing a baby as an extension of their personality and not a living human being. I don't know if it's 'main character syndrome' or delusions of grandeur or what, but people naming their babies after weird sci fi or fantasy book characters is just cringey as hell to me," another wrote.
One user suggested her sister to try out using the name for a week or two in real-life situations.
For example, if she goes into a coffee shop, use that name for the order. If she meets a stranger, tell them Hinata Daenerys Six is her name.
"Have her try to make a dinner reservation as good old HD6. Make her live with the name until she realizes how impractical it is, and how horribly people will treat her kid," they wrote.
The OP provided more context in the comments and explained that she confronted her sister armed with the Reddit thread.
She reportedly called her manipulative, selfish and egotistical. Her husband is also aware of the name and "doing nothing" about it.
As it stands, the OP's parents are trying to talk her out of the name, but whether they'll succeed is yet to be seen.

Gen Z Woman Asks Internet How Old She Looks—Then Comes Shocking Response
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Gen Z woman's TikTok video has sparked a viral conversation about beauty standards and aging after she asked one simple question: How old do I look? Bella Falcone (@bellaaafalcone), a 27-year-old Pilates instructor from Arizona, took part in a popular trend on the platform where users invite strangers to guess their age based on appearance. But when the guesses came in, many placed her in her 30s or even 40s, leaving Falcone stunned. Her video garnered 3 million views and 92,400 likes on TikTok. "I honestly made the video because I saw a trend of people doing it. I honestly never could've predicted the negativity that came with it," Falcone told Newsweek. "At first, I was shocked. I think like a lot of people say they didn't expect to go viral with a certain [video] and I definitely felt that way. I definitely was hurt by some of the responses that just went straight to tearing apart my appearance since I never asked for the opinions. I just simply wanted to know what people thought of my age and I guess that gave people the feeling that they could pick apart my looks."

The comments section quickly filled up with a wide range of responses, some constructive and others far from kind. "Forty-two. It's the lips," said one user, while Erica Moyer wrote: "34-36." "You look 28-31, anyone saying differently is a bitter troll," chimed another. "Twenty-seven because you don't have other signs of aging. Your lip filler does make you look a bit older but not as old as people are saying in the comments," added another commenter. While many comments focused on perceived age indicators, Falcone said she appreciated the unexpected solidarity from other women. "I was surprised by some of the other women sticking up for me in the comments. I didn't think that would happen but it definitely made me feel good that I had strangers sticking up for me," she said. Falcone reflected that age remains a particularly charged issue for women. She said that women are often criticized whether they show signs of aging naturally or take steps like Botox or fillers to preserve a youthful appearance. According to her, society tends to scrutinize women's choices no matter what they do, and this double standard can be disheartening. "I think people love to pick apart women specifically because if a man did this he wouldn't have received as much negativity as I did," she added.

Arizona Man Moves to New York, Not Prepared for What's in Neighbor's Yard
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A man who made the move from Arizona to New York couldn't believe who turned out to be his next-door neighbor. Moving across the country can be stressful, especially when bringing pets along with you. Pets might feel overwhelmed and scared in their new environment. They have to adjust to their new surroundings. But when Kris, who is known on TikTok as @thatonedudekane, arrived in New York with his dog, all his worries faded away. He discovered his neighbor has the same exact dog as he does. Kris told Newsweek via TikTok that he couldn't believe how similar his neighbor's dog looked to his. "You don't really see those type of dogs that often," he said. "They are mixed with German [shepherd] and Rottweiler, so they are unique. It was crazy. My dog was an accident baby." In his April 19 TikTok video, he walked over to the neighbor's fence to say hello to the other dog and show his followers the similarities between the two canines. His dog was already at the fence, greeting his new friend. The two dogs sniffed each other through the fence with their tails wagging. It's as if they were long-lost siblings. His dog then looked up at him with an expression that screamed: "Can you believe this?" Screenshots from an April 19 TikTok video of a dog meeting the neighbor's canine through the fence after moving from Arizona to New York.

He wants to set up playdates for the dogs, but unfortunately, he said his neighbor will not let the dogs play. He's unsure of the reason why his new neighbor won't let the dogs play, but he's hopeful they'll have a change of heart. Until then, he explained in the caption that they are "friends for life but through the fence." Viewer Reactions The TikTok video amassed over 159,100 views, 25,000 likes and 278 comments as of Monday. Immediately noticing the similarities, many demanded "doggy DNA tests rn," but Kris confirmed they are not from the same litter. "The nose touch?? Oh, they're besties fr," commented a viewer. Another added: "He said: 'Twin where have you been??'" A third person wrote: "Universal way of letting you know you moved to the right spot."

Millennials' Parents Are SUPER Addicted To Their Phones
Recently, Reddit user Edyeahhh asked, "Are all of our parents addicted to their phones?" "My parents are in town visiting, and I am floored by their smartphone usage. My mom scrolls Facebook for HOURS, and my dad gets entranced by TikTok with the volume on full blast. It's become so unsettling that I've deleted my own TikTok. Are everyone else's parents addicted to their phones?" The topic really hit home for some people, and they had A LOT to say in the comments. Here are some of the best replies: "My father used to be such an interesting, intelligent guy with multiple hobbies — painting, playing instruments, tinkering around making weird robots. Now he just stares at his phone and shows me the cringiest, most unfunny memes. It's actually kind of sad how he's a shell of a person because he spends 90% of his time on Facebook." —suzeerbedrol "It kills me how their phone volume is always on FULL blast. Yet they say we are the addicted ones. 🙄" "My dad actually tries to Google things WHILE DRIVING because a random thought popped into his head." —Prestigious-Disk-246 "My mom isn't too bad, but my father is glued to Twitter. This was a man who would physically unplug our desktop computer when we were kids because we were spending too much time on it. Now, he barely acknowledges me when I talk to him." "My mom invited all the kids and grandkids over for her birthday weekend a couple of years ago, and she spent 95% of the time on her phone. It was ridiculous." "My dad uses his laptop instead of his phone, but at least he closes it when there are other things going on."—noyoujump "My dad endlessly texts in his family group chat with his sisters, just sharing pictures and memes. And my mother is a speakerphone boomer. I could be visiting from out of town and having a nice family dinner, and she'll answer her phone and have a whole ass conversation on speaker phone. These are the same people who would yell at me for leaving the table to answer the phone when I was in junior high. It's insanity." "My dad watches YouTube on autoplay for like 12 hours a day." —tytanium315 "I blocked my dad on all social media because I was getting a dozen dumb memes from him a day on Facebook and Instagram. It got too overwhelming." "I see my folks once every two years or so. I spend the whole week watching my stepdad watch YouTube and my mom play Candy Crush for hours while the the TV is on in the background." —Darmok-And-Jihad "Just wait until they start sending you AI slop they generate after discovering ChatGPT. An uncanny valley likeness of your kid flying around in a Superman costume that you'll never be able to unsee — great!" "My dad came to visit my family for a few days a little over a year ago. I think his phone was in his hand 90% of the time he was awake. Even when he was asleep in the guest room, I could hear his phone blasting videos until it died. It was really disappointing, especially since I thought he would want to do more with his grandchildren." —Telemachus826 "My mom never used to have a smartphone; she was the proud owner of a flip phone for the longest time. But she recently got a smartphone because her doctor recommended an app to monitor her diabetes and blood sugar levels. I've noticed her slowly becoming addicted to her phone now. Meanwhile, my dad is addicted to his iPad." "I think it makes sense that addiction finds a stronger root in brains that are either developing or declining. That's why this is a more pronounced problem for children and the elderly. I totally agree that we are ALL overly addicted to our phones though. It's such a bad problem." —LAM24601 Thankfully, not all parents are addicted to their phones: "Neither of my parents have social media. My dad uses his phone a lot, but it's mostly reading the news or sports." —TrickyOperation6115 "My mom still has a landline. Her cell is a flip phone that she only uses like once a month." And finally, this person found a good balance between phone usage and real life that we should all strive for: "It's weird. When I'm alone, my phone is like this everlasting crack pipe. But the moment I'm with friends or family, I really don't check it that much." —pwolf1771 H/T r/Millennials
