    have people used/stolen your baby names?

    Oh I forgot to add after her comment on the names sounding very me, she screwed her nose up and said nah don't really like any of them!!
    My other besties and I do like a couple of the same names, but since we all married our surnames are different and we have 'swapped'.

    They're all very popular names at the moment so perhaps it's not surprising that she's chosen one.

    I dont like the term best in best dressed. I'm a bit protective of my names, as I have had them picked for so long, had I used them when I wanted to (10years ago) it wouldn't be problem, but things out of my control meant that I can't use them until now, so everytime i see someone else has used one of the names I feel cheated, because it's not my fault I didn't get in there first itms.

    I do worry that a book or something will come out and ruin the names for me, infact one of the characters in Twilight has a very simular name to my girls name, and I am so thankful its not the same name, cause I dont want the name assossiated with pop culture etc.. as though I'm copying, even though I'm not.

    Depsite this, I'm still using them, even though one of the names is increasing in popularity, I dont care because I picked them before that. so =P
