"Stolen" Baby Names

[briggsy's girl]

with some of my online friends, it would be about the perception - but mostly i'd not like to be in a position where my child was named the same as one of my besties kidlets! it's not fair to them - in the situation where you DO get together, i'd not like having to use the kidlets FULL name just to get their attention...

it's not the same, but i was one of three in my class with the same name from grade one through to year 12 (damn the small town!) and it frustrated me - i imagine it would be worse if you went to school PLUS your parents were friends and you were together outside of school all your life kwim?

and Bx, i had a fair idea any pg wouldn't be very secret (better not be!!) - you can't be trying yet anyway - we have to ttc #2 together and i ain't even popped out number one! and if we DO get pg same time, i'll be telling you the names we have picked reeeeeeeeeeeal early! lol

In our Sept 2006 thread, there are a few people who have named their second baby after someone in the Sept thread's first child. I think I would take it as a compliment.

See to me, that wouldn't be a compliment, I'd see that as a lack of creativity...no offence to those girls! It obviously works for everyone concerned but I'd hate it, four of us having a child with the same name...meh.

That's just me though, I'm like this with everything. I HATE it when people go out and buy the same dress, handbag, jewellery etc that they've seen me with. I had a friend in high school that would do it CONSTANTLY...in the end I felt like a twin and started lying to her about where I got my stuff or telling her 'I dunno, my mum got it for me'
