Was talking to my best friend on Sunday, who is about 15 weeks pregnant with her second child, about names. Me and my OH had chosen names right at the beginning of our pregnancy and decided that we wouldn't tell anyone our decisions until the birth. Both the names we've chosen (girl and boy) are names that mean a lot to us, due to certain family members that they are in honour/memory of. Anyways, it turns out that my friend has chosen the same boys name as us, and got really funny when she found out that we had the same name. She's since text me saying she's not budging on the name, and if we both have boys, either I've gotta change or we get used to both having the same (which would be strange as we spend a lot of time together). I didn't wanna worry about it until if and when we have to cross that bridge, after all, we might both be having girls! But its being turned into this massive issue now and I'm finding it quite upsetting - I don't wanna fall out with my best friend all because we both have good taste in names lol
She keeps going on about how much the name means to them and how theyve already gotten used to it and that theyve told family members already - they already have a boy so if it means that much, surely they wouldve named their first boy it?
Sorry about the long rant, and I don't wanna seem unreasonable, but the whole situation is just getting me down now and I don't know what to say to her. Ive already said I don't wana think about it until the time comes, but she keeps bringing it up. Any suggestions ladies??
