So my closest friend at work has a best friend who is almost the exact same weeks pregnant as me. I've met her on a few occasions and constantly hear updates on her pregnancy through my friend. Anyways, I just saw on Facebook that she has the same name picked out for her boy as I do. I'm not finding out the sex, so there is a chance my baby won't share the name, but what if he does? It shouldn't bother me, we aren't friends ourselves. But I'm annoyed that my co-worker/friend hasn't mentioned it. She has known my name choices that I picked out in month 1. I just hope she wasn't the one to suggest this to her bestie. What do you ladies think... Should this bother me?
I would be bummed, but i went wayyyy out of my way to find names that aren't popular at all. I watch babycenter.com on the regular, just to make sure the name I have picked out isn't in the top 200 for the year 2015. If it's a popular name right now, then I would try and let it slide, but if it's something super unpopular then I'd be wondering if my friend gave her the idea for the name..
If you aren't actually in a hangout spend tons of time your kids are going to grow up being bestows level with her I wouldn't worry it's irritating and more so if your other for end mentioned the name and that's where she got t from but other then that who's cares. It's a semi popular name anyways so he's likely to have at least a few people in school that share the name. My freshman year ceramics class there were 6 different Haley's just in that one class.
I will have the same name as two people I know and had it picked out before them. I didn't tell them it's just a popular name now.
Thanks ladies. I wasn't sure what was bothering me. I know it's kind of popular, but we liked it and I still think my little boy, (if it is a boy) will be named Parker. :)
