Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker checks that the other person's name is Baby, then uses it in a sharp rebuke. The complaint is about being misunderstood: the listener knows nothing about these problems. Repeating the name makes the dismissal personal and gives the outburst an extra sting.
