📝 AITAH for telling my sister that giving her son a French name is a bad idea?

She and her husband are planning on naming their unborn son after her husband’s dead French grandfather. The name is Antoine. It is supposedly a popular name in France, but we are not living in France. Literally no American will know how to say or spell that name correctly (unless they know French names) so not only is he’s going to have to spend his whole life explaining it to people how to say/spell it, but kids might also bully him for having an ethnic name. I told her that it’s a bad idea. Was I being an AH here? I think it’s best for them to give their son an English name, like Stephen or Jonathan.
