| 0:00.0 | Am I the jerk for still using the baby name I told my sister I was going to use, despite her using a variation of it first. |
| 0:07.7 | I am a 35-year-old woman, and I had my first daughter in September. While I was pregnant, my sister, who was 38, was also pregnant with a boy. |
| 0:16.3 | In reality, she was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, but thought it would be a fun surprise for everyone. |
| 0:22.2 | During that time, I told her that I planned to name this baby after our mum, Colette, and my husband's mother, Coral. |

| 1:10.2 | Despite me telling her my entire pregnancy, |
| 1:12.9 | this was the name I planned to use. I even had stuff made with the name. She though ensures |
| 1:18.4 | everyone knows her babies were born first. Honestly, if she told me months ago that she planned to |
| 1:23.9 | use Cole and Lettie, I probably would have pivoted, but she never said anything. |
| 1:29.1 | Heck, even if she told me she was using coal, I would have re-evaluated. I'm currently debating, |
