It finally got to me and I asked her if she had to be so annoying. I told her her how tiring it is to always hear her dumb jokes, which aren’t even really jokes like she claims, but insults directed at me. She called me sensitive and I told her she’s the person who hasn’t given up on my name in over a decade. I told her everyone gets it, she sees Skye as a girl’s name, but she’s not funny. SIL got mad. My wife told her she was about to become a mom and needed to listen to us and grow up.

People stood on his side.
“The same joke was lame as hell over a dozen years ago and didn’t improve with age.” Kris82868 / Reddit
“But you are doing this wrong, start going hard on that the baby girl will have a boy’s name since she going to be named after you. When the kid is born, make sure everyone knows the kid is named after you.” CakePhool / Reddit
“I know two men with the name Skye and 0 women.”
“For someone who dislikes the name so much, I find it amusing that out of all the names in the world that she could name her child, she chose yours.” Worth-Season3645
“Your sister-in-law has been like an annoying, childish dog with a bone for over a decade. It was way past time to put her in her place over her rude behavior.”

“My favorite tactic for dealing with people like her is simply asking to explain the joke. ’I don’t get it, why is that funny?’ She won’t be able to provide a real answer. Ask again after she answers, and again every time she ‘jokes’. The looks of confusion on everyone’s faces will make her shut up.”

Sometimes, the best way to handle a persistent tease is with a clever answer that leaves no room for refutation. Now, their family gatherings are free of those tiresome jokes, and he has proven that standing up for oneself can be both satisfying and effective.
