When we had DS2 I really liked Cooper as a name but we decieded on Lachlan instead!! A few months later we became friends with people who have a cooper!! We are now expecting our fourth and this friend has said to me that if we still like the name then we can use it, as it does not worry them in the slightest!! Really a TRUE friend would NEVER steal your name if they knew you wanted to use it, and i consider my friend to be so precious to say that to me even thought i dont think we will use the name cooper if this bubs is a boy!!!!

I feel really sorry for you its horrible for her to do this even though she knew you wanted to use this name!!!! Honestly stuff her just use it and just explain to people who you both know that she used the name even thoughyou had already told her that you were going to use the name!!!!

GOODLUCK
