it just happened to me today - my bestie just used my choice for a boy's middle name for her own boy's middle name.... now what do ya do about that hey? you cant exactly turn around and say.. 'hey that was my name' - all you can do is use it still if you like it and hope that she remembers it was you who spoke about it first and hope that she doesnt get offended if your son ends up having the same name..
