we do love the name and thats the problem out of all the other names in the world dh and I could not agree !!!!!! he isnt worried about what anyone else thinks, its our baby he says and its for us and she will have the name for life.
Im one of these people that dont like using other peoples kids name....but once im attatched to a name its hard to ditch it.
My DS on the way, his name has part of a friends sons name....but then her DD has a part of my DD's name too...and we think it means we are good with name choices!
My best friend of 20 years had a babe last week and her husband had the name Tobias (shortened to Toby) high on his list. Toby is my son's name. I was honoured that they liked it enough to think about naming their son that - not bothered AT ALL!
And I fully expect to be friends with them for another 20 years...at least
I think that it's fine to use that name If you're worried, maybe you could talk to the other mother about it just to give her a heads up...
Also, if you are after a similar name, I quite like Amaleia (the "leia" part pronounced like Princess Leia in starwars, lol). Unfortunately my DH is not a fan of the name so it's off the cards for us if our bubs is a girl.
I'd be rapped if someone thought my son or daughters name was so wonderful that they used it for thier own child. Plus you probably won't end up life long friends if you don't see her much anyway. I wouldn't be worried at all, go for it In say !
