I know this is petty

My DH's cousin's wife just found out she is having b/g twins in March and planning to name her son the name I wanted to use for a future son.  I know that no one owns or can stake a claim to a name, but it bothers me.   Who knows if I will ever have a son and they he is also being named in memory of J's grandmother, but another reminder that everyone else on both sides of the family has a child except for us. 

TTC since 3-08 IVF # 1 Dec 2011 BFP DD born at 31 weeks 6-24-12

FET #1 Dec 2013 BFN

FET # 2 Feb 2014 BFN

No more frosties

IVF #2. September 2014

PGD yielded 2 perfect 5d blasts

SET November 9, 2014
Nov 23, 2014. Another BFN

Not sure where to go from here.

Re: I know this is petty

  • It's not petty.  Every time someone in my family announces a pregnancy, I immediately start praying that they don't use one of "my" names.  I have been very open with our names and have told people that I don't care if they use our names, but I'm still going to use them.  I completely understand how you feel.  Huge ((hugs)), hang in there.

  • I don't think it's petty.  It's human nature to feel that way when someone else gets to have something you want so much.  I've done this for as long as I can remember (long before TTC).  I'm always happy when people pick names I don't like.  LOL.
