Bec, I know a girl about your DD's age with the same name! She's so gorgeous though. DH vetoed that name, which is a shame, but he has NO taste in names LMAO - he rejected some gorgeous ones.

This is why we didn't discuss names with anyone. Even though DS is named after a brewery LOL (cheers Google). But I just didn't want to think his name had been "stolen" when in fact I don't own the name nor have I patented it.

If DH re-married and had a girl and used the name we had spent months picking... no big. He really didn't like that many names, there were others I like too. Even if he used the middle names, which are for my family! I can still use the middle names if I wanted and go back to my original girl name list and pick a better name.

I am avoiding a name that's nice that my best friend wants to use at some point... but that's not just because she's my best friend, it's also because it's not in my top 1000 list. Nice name, just not for me IYKWIM.
