My sister gave birth 2 weeks ago and wouldn’t let anyone know the name of the baby until it was born which is fine. But, she posted the name on Facebook with a picture of the baby before telling me, am I right to be annoyed as we are a close family, I thought.

Don't be annoyed. It is beautiful time, just enjoy it with your sister.

She probably thought putting it on Facebook was telling everybody at the same time so that she hadn’t chosen to tell anybody before anybody else.
I understand that you would have hoped to have been told personally because of being her sister and being really close. I expect she didn’t mean to hurt you and was just super excited making her special announcement. 

I think I would let it go and enjoy the happy time. She will be sharing all the loads of other lovely moments with you and you’ll be far more important in her and her baby’s life than all those Facebook friends I’m sure.

Hello @hallac

Just to echo what everyone has been saying, she may have done it so it didn't cause argument? I can imagine being so close because you are sisters but her partner may have similar relationships and those people may then be funny because they weren't told first. 
She's just had a baby, she is more than likely exhausted and just probably wants some peace. In saying that I don't mean specifically from you, a new baby brings a lot of joy but also a lot of messages, well wishers, questions, peoples giving unwanted advice....etc. She probably just thought, stick it on Facebook and mute my phone. It's a route I've seen my family members take!
