Re: Another Spinoff - TTC #2 - WWYD
That really stinks that she knows how much you like the name, but at the same time, I do think you're being a little selfish. What if your next child is a girl? Should everyone you know be expected not to use the name you like indefinitely? My son's name is Luca. He's almost a year and a half. My cousin, who I'm not very close with and haven't seen in quite some time, told me that his wife is pregnant. If they have a boy they're going to name him Luca. There are a million names out there they could have chosen but they chose one already in the family. I don't love that, but I would never ask him or expect him to change the name they like on my behalf.

Re: Another Spinoff - TTC #2 - WWYD
I would not say anything...what if you only have girls anyway?
If I loved a name I would use it no matter who else used it. would not bother me.

Re: Another Spinoff - TTC #2 - WWYD
Personally i come from an italian family and we have 6 "Anthonys" all related to eachother. I really wouldnt care if someone else picked my name or not. As long as i have a healthy baby with a name I love, i wouldnt mind. Too many other things in life to worry about. jmo.

Re: Another Spinoff - TTC #2 - WWYD
Well if she brings it up in front of you I would say I plan on using that name too when we have DC #2. If we both have boys I guess we will have 2 ____ running around

Re: Another Spinoff - TTC #2 - WWYD
If it were me I wouldn't say anything...but has she heard you two discuss that name before?? If she definitely knew that was "your" name for a boy I'd be pretty mad. I hate that!! If it is innocent then just bite your tongue and pray for a girl, lol.
OKAY...I just read that she knows it is your name. Ugh. That would just really really bother me...
When I was pg with Johnny, everyone knew he'd be "John" after my husband.
When my SIL became pg, she announced to everyone that she loved the name "Giani" (Johnny) and may use it for a boy. I was annoyed...DH didn't care as much but I'm thinking "all the names in the world and she wants the same as my son". It was odd to me...

This I agree with and the same with my family, my DD's has 4 uncle johns not counting her grandfather and great grandfather are johns :) and there's more johns down the line. My oldest is Gianna, same as john.
Use it if you love it...

Re: Another Spinoff - TTC #2 - WWYD
IMO I would name my child what I want to name my child. So what if it has a cousin with the same name.

I like this solution.  Hopefully she'll have a girl so you don't have to have 2 boys in the family with the same name. Or maybe she'll change her mind. I'd be annoyed though if she's picking this name after knowing how much you like it.

Same here. I don't really get why people get so upset over the name thing.

I agree. Put it right out there so there are no surprises when you have a boy & name it the same name.

Re: Another Spinoff - TTC #2 - WWYD
I do not think you are being selfish, and I would say something.
My SIL has stolen not one, but 2 of our favorite names, and they were names I said I liked and she said "they're okay".
There are so many other names out there, they should be able to find one that you guys didn't have dibs on first.

Re: Another Spinoff - TTC #2 - WWYD
Like the others said - tell her you like the name - and use it no matter what. You may end up having all girls - or she may end up having all girls. By the time you have another one you may not even like the name anymore. To me - this is so not a big deal - there are tons of people in my family with the same name.

I don't think it would bother me. I'm one of 3 Cathys in my family, my brother is one of 4 Michaels, and I think we have 5 or 6 Franks.
