The baby girl was named after the woman's mother. The couple picked the name because the woman's mother passed away suddenly. The death was a traumatic experience for the woman.
The couple had picked out a different name for the baby initially. They had to make that into the baby's middle name in order to keep her mother's name. The woman's child is now four years old.
The general sentiment is that the sister-in-law is a terrible person.

The sister-in-law demanded that the woman start calling her daughter by her middle name. This would allow the sister-in-law to use the name without worrying about two bearers in the same family.
