Is it really okay to name child same name as someone you know?

[Ginger]

i think it's fine.
have you talked to her about it at all?

[Willow]

I wouldn't do, that's just a personal preference but if YOU are feeling OK about it then go for it!

[Rouge]

I wouldn't do it either, and I wouldn't want someone to do it to me LOL! But I am VERY funny about names. But if you're fine with it, and the other mother is fine with it I wouldn't worry. Everyone is different so its about what you feel most comfortable with.

i'm another that prefers not to "share" names - not that anyone "owns" them - but i would prefer for my kids to have unique names - especially if you already share one name with the other person, having a "family" of the same names just doesn't do it for me.

I wouldn't if it was family or close friends but if not go for it !
