AITA for telling my sister to focus on her own kid's names and worry less about mine?

While one embraces a name steeped in tradition, the other clings fiercely to a name that sings uniquely to her soul, sparking an emotional rift that echoes far beyond mere letters on a birth certificate.
In the quiet storm of shared excitement and clashing dreams, the younger sister stands resolute, defending her choice against waves of unso***ited advice and judgment.

The original poster (OP) is facing a conflict stemming from her sister's strong disapproval and public criticism of the chosen name for the OP's unborn daughter, Oceana.
The OP feels justified in defending her personal choice against her sister's persistent attempts to influence her decision, leading to tension and a breakdown in mutual respect regarding personal decisions.
