it was bound to happen

DH and I are barely talking names yet and will not share our choices in real life once we have made them.  I happen to have a million friends due between now and June who are also not sharing their names - so at least one of the names i love for a boy, Owen, was just taken by a good friend.  Clearly, I do not begrudge her the name but - darn it!  If someone takes Lucy I will scream.

    Eh, I wouldn't mark it off the list if you and DH really love it.

    I know, it sucks! I feel like everyone who got pg before me is now stealing all the good names! I hate to be a copycat, so I probably wont use any of them even if I really love it, which sucks. Back to the drawing board...

    Aww, bummer!  Technically, you could still use the name, but it's just not the same!

    My husband has two best friends, the 3 of them have been the 3 amigos since junior high.

    They both had babies last year, one in Dec and one in Feb. And they're both named Caleb! It hasn't caused any problems, it's been kind of fun to refer to our sweet Calebs. :)

    Aww sorry!  I guess this might be an incentive to actually tell your names - we haven't told folks the names we're thinking of, except I have a friend who is pregnant so I shared them with her (so she wouldn't use them, haha).  We also shared names we liked with bro and SIL last year before they had their little one, because they knew we had a couple of names we REALLY wanted to use and they wanted to be sure to avoid them.

    Yeah, that is frustrating!  I'd say if it was just an acquaintance than keep the name on your list, but if it's a good friend it's probably best to choose something else!

    oh dear. My two favorite names that i've loved for a while were taken in the last two years. The boys name by a not super close friends sister so not a big deal (though the hubs wasn't as in love with it as I was so its still off the board) and the girls name was stolen by a cousin!!! (not knowingly I'd never mentioned liking the name to anyone, just coincidence) but that means its DEFINITELY off the table. two calebs at a barbecue of friends is one thing... but two reaghans at every family gathering? probbaly not.

    We've moved on and have a couple new names and who knows? my parents didn't even use the names they had picked out for all of us!
