That's a bit weird. I reckon you should tell them how you feel... after all, they've done the right thing and asked so *hopefully* they'll take it well.

Friends of mine have a little girl named Lexi (Alexandra). Their friends had a baby not long after them and named their daughter Alexandra with Lexi for short too!! She was peeeeeeved!

I don't think I'd like close friends to copy my kid's names... unless the kids were 10-15 years apart...then it might not matter so much??
