A LOT of parents name their newborns after their favourite characters.

So when one Disney obsessed mum decided to give her daughter a name from her favourite film no one was too surprised.

She explained on Reddit she named her daughter Elsa, after the Disney princess from Frozen.

"I know it is a little dumb to name your kids after things like that but it is not an super unusual or ugly name, it is pretty and it means a lot to me," she wrote.

Since then, the mum and her husband split and he remarried and is now expecting a daughter with his new wife.

But it turns out his new wife loved the story behind the tot's name so much that decided to name their daughter Anna "so they could be sisters like in the movie."

But that didn't go down very well with the mum, who thought it was "totally unfair."

She fumed: "What if I have another daughter? It would have been perfect to name her Anna and now I wouldn't be able to do it without it looking like I am stealing from them.

"My husband doesn't even like Frozen that much. He always said his favourite Disney animated movie was Bolt.

"I don't know if the mother likes Frozen but I am totally sure she doesn't like it as much as me."

But when the mum "demanded" that her ex and his new wife picked a new name they refused.

"He thinks I am acting crazy," she confessed.

The mum even called her divorce lawyer to try and put an end to the name drama, but with no luck.

Feeling defeated, she decided to call her ex, "I told him that if they insisted with using that name, I would made everything I could to sabotage the relationship between our daughter and theirs, so they never were real sisters like Elsa and Anna," she revealed.

And although she ended up regretting being so harsh and admitted she would never really sabotage their relationship, it didn't change the way she felt about the name

The mum wrote: "I think that I am ultimately in the right about why they shouldn't use that name but I was wrong in saying what I said."

Fellow Reddit users couldn't believe how far the mum took things, one said: "You are a literal evil stepmother in a Disney film. That's what you are right now."

A second joked: "The part that killed me was her calling her divorce lawyer about it."

And another wrote: " I can’t imagine loving a movie so much that I threaten to sue other people trying to use a name from it. This is some next level insanity.
