Re: Would this bother you?
I would not change. People will think she is silly for using the same name as her best friend, IMHO. PLUS she is in NC, I don't see it being a big deal

Either way, I wouldn't change it.

Re: Would this bother you?
I would not change it. I never realized what a big deal people make out of names until LIF. Maybe it is because I am Greek and everyone in my family has the same name it just doesn't phase me in the slightest.
All my friends know this about me, I will use any name I like, so don't tell me "your" name of you are protective over it.

Re: Would this bother you?
I wouldn't change it - especially since it may be a moot point if neither of you know if you're having a girl.
And she's not in your daily life so it wouldn't bother me if her daughter was walking around with the same name - you didn't plan it, and she didn't "copy" you, so no biggie.
So, no, wouldn't bother me.

Re: Would this bother you?
she lives out of state, I wouldn't be upset at all!!!
if she picked it after you told her how much you loved that name that would be an issue

Re: Would this bother you?
I wouldbe fine with that-it's not your sibling so it won't cause confusion in the family. Plus, you don't see them all the time so I don't thikn it's an issue.

Re: Would this bother you?
would not bother me at all. I love the name my best friend named her son and told her I'd love to use if for my second (first's is already set in stone) but only if she didn't care.... and she definitely doesn't.
I think it's kind of cool, esp since you are so close.

Re: Would this bother you?
Allison is not exactly a unique name.
Your DC will possibly have Allisons in her class at school, never mind the kid of a parent's friend in NC.

Re: Would this bother you?
I actually think its kind of cute. People will know their first names, not their middle names (Allison is on my list as well, for my brother  ), and if they become great friends like you and your friend, they'll be known as the Allison's or the Alis  And they'll love it too!

Re: Would this bother you?
Yes, it would bother me a bit BUT I would still use the name if I really loved it. Especially since you don't see eachother often and live so far away, I don't see the need to change it. What a funny coincidence though!

It wouldn't bother me -- yes, you are BFF's, but you live in different states. if she was your sister or someone you saw often and it could be confusing then I might rethink it...
