Maz your a classic LOL!
im the same as Bath i like more uncommon names and if it was used by a close friends id be devistated and probably voiced my opinion!

i think its only classed as stealing if u have had a convo about names and told ur friend what name you will have and THEN they have a bub first and use it. if its a strange co-incendance i think it would be quiet ironic and be a bit special....
