It just clicked that this is a perpetual aggression/superiority thing for the parents - for years and years, they get to create friction by just telling people their child's name, and then getting to play the "you're so stupid" card if there's the slightest reaction or misunderstanding.
"Stupid" can easily be overlaid with "biased" "racist" "old-fashioned" or whatever negative pit most suits the parental need for superiority.
I've known too many people who walk around with this kind of chip on their shoulder, just looking for endless pushback so they can push back harder, because. Unfortunately, the tactic here involves an innocent with no say in the matter.
I wonder if this kid has a middle name... Hopefully she does, and it's not as ridiculous as her first name.
Plenty people go through life using their middle names.

Which is where bizarre, unique names belong if you must gift your child with one.
Six kids, all with carefully-chosen names from family history; only two have comparable middle names. The other four have elegant, unusual (but not weird) middle names. One has already decided her fine old Celtic first name is blah and uses her middle name instead. But none of them had to go through years of crap in school spelling, teaching pronunciation of or being teased for having a string of gibberish for a name.
What your niece's name? And what prompted your sis to change it?
I won't give her name since the internet can be creepy (especially for younger women). My sister changed it because she finally realized that it was stupid and my niece was starting pre-school and if she was going to change it she needed to do it before she started school.
I'm guessing this is sarcasm... But care to tell why you think Terdell is such a bad name, especially comparing it with a name that is literally just the first 5 letters of the alphabet?
It could have been worse. The child could have been named Password.
Or maybe the child is named after a parent's favorite password... Her middle name could be 12345, for those times a website requires both letters and numbers in your password.
I once had a student named Orangello. He told me it was his mom’s favorite flavor of gelatin dessert.
Look at the bright side. She could've named the kid Wild Strawberry.
