You can't 'steal' a name. I so often hear stories of some person who liked a name, told a friend and then that friend used it. If you really like a name for your child it shouldn't matter if your friend has used it too. If it makes you upset that is fine just try and get over it. Nothing is worse then hearing the story for the 100th time 10 years after it happened. I use my name as case in point. I was named Jeanette after my grandmother Jean. My aunty wanted to call her daughter Jeanette but had a boy. My whole life all I ever heard was how my cousin would have been Jeanette if he had been a girl. Arrrgh! Besides it is not as if people say "Hey I heard so an so likes the name 'X', lets use it just to **** them off". For all we know the person who used the name we liked put a lot of though and reason into picking the name, same way we did.
