Hey Ladies,

I hope you are all well? I have just posted a thread in Pregnancy Club but wondered if I could get your opinions too? I am not sure if I am over-reacting

Sooooo ... My sister and her Husband announced last week that they are looking to purchase a labrador puppy, and I got a text this morning to say they have chosen a pup and that "Bonnie" will be with them in a few weeks.

As you may know OH and I have a short list of names that we have agonised over ALOT and which all of my family have seen and studied (it is a literal list normally stuck on the fridge ) ... and Bonnie is one of them ...

Granted OH and I were not absolutely, definitely going to use the name for our little girl - but I find myself seriously miffed that of the trillion or so names available they have chosen one from the handful we have picked out

Am I being unreasonable?

As ever your advice and wisdom would be very much appreciated

OMG, to be honest it i were u i would be really pissed off!!!!! why would you chose a name that someone from your family is thinking about naming their child??? even if you didnt end up chosing it at the end, they dont know what you guys gonna do and they do know that you are considering it!!!

theres soooooo many names int he world!!!

also if they really wanted to use it, they could have just said to you something, like - oh we really like the name bonnie, u guys still thinking of using it etc etc. just so when they send this text over you guys dont end up feeling well like you are now!!!!!

i would probs mention it to them, why they decided to use that name? no point in arguing but def ask them about it to see what they say. but i would be soo annoyed!!!!!! im not one to argue with people and confront them in a horrible way so i wouldnt argue about it, but like i said would def question it and tell them maybe u feel a bit weird that they decided to go with a name you had shortlisted!!!

Cliqmo I'd be really pissed as well! Maybe just tell them how you feel about it.

HellBunny welcome! Added you to the front page. How are you feeling?

 

[chloe11]

ive just noticed, the 3 twins mummy we have at the front (including myself) are all having two boys!!!! hehehehe!!

Cliqmo...ummm I can't comment too much on the name front as if we have a little girl she will be named Lola and from my mum's latest litter of Devon Rex kittens she kept a girl and named her Lola...I spend a lot of time at my mum's so it will be amusing if we do have a girl and both the cat and baby respond to the name lol! To be honest how many times will you all be together with the dog and child? I wouldn't worry too much and if you like that name then stick with it. My OH's nephew is called Sam and so is their parents dog and that hasn't caused any problems.

Wow Waves your bump is growing!! Mine is really low but not very big really, I think it is the way baby is laying.

Zephyr sounds like you need to rest up so you don't hurt your pelvis anymore hun.

I am sooo tired today, woke up last night to use the toilet and just couldn't get back to sleep and the alarm still goes off for OH so I couldn't get back to sleep this morning urgh. However hopefully it means I will sleep really well tonight because i'm off to Crufts tomorrow yay! I go every year (have done since I was 18 months old) and quite often we show our own dogs there but not this year. We are taking friends and just going to look around

I've got my first antenatal class at lunchtime today so will let you know how it goes.

Have a good day girls

 

[chloe11]

I LOVE CRUFTS!!!!!!! so jealous ur going!!! my friend also always goes! i havent ever been though!!!

good luck with your first antenatal!!! i cant wait for mine!! still have 3 weeks to go though - booohooo!!

To be honest part of my agitation is that the same sister already has a cat called "Poppy" and when she saw that name was on our list of names she said she thought it was "a bit weird" we might call our child after her cat - which is why Poppy got chopped from our list (we didn't think it would be that weird for the reasons you mention, but she clearly did) ... but now she does this

Hope your well girls, I'm finding it hard to keep up with using my iPhone, so sorry I don't update much.

Cliqmo: I'd be pissed of to say the least, would you feel ok dropping into conversation that the name is on your list of possible baby name to name your LO?
OH's sister found out she's having a girl and is namIng her Olivia, we picked that for a middle name if we have a girl, so now we arnt using the name which I can't get over tbh x

 

[wavescrash]

Wow Waves your bump is growing!! Mine is really low but not very big really, I think it is the way baby is laying.

I know!!! I think it's bigger already today even though i took my recent bump picture yesterday. But I think it's the way she's laying. Her movements feel a bit different from the last few days so I think she changed position.

wavecrash - beautiful bump hunni!!!! and the room is stunning!!!!! love it

Thanks so much


AHHHH! I just noticed my ticker moved over one more again! I've only got one more to go!

 

[yazzy]

Cliqmo ahh so your sister saw your name list before she named the puppy??? That is a bit off really. If you decide to name your child the same then that is different - the dog or cat knows no different but if she knew you might want that name she shouldn't have used it.

I've had a busy afternoon and am now firmly planted on my sofa lol. Antenatal was fine, didn't really do a lot apart from go through the normal aches and pains etc. My OH won't be able to go next week because he is on his stag do but I will get him to go on the 3rd lesson.

Right a lazy night ahead for me...dinner then maltesers yum lol!!

 

[Ems77]

AHHHH! I just noticed my ticker moved over one more again! I've only got one more to go!

Hey me too!! LMFAO!

 

[Ems77]

No but really my back is killing me and my hips they ache so bad. I cleaned my daughters room this morning and I was on the floor picking up her dolls cos I cant bend over and I got stuck

I have back issues normally (when not pregnant) and I have gotten stuck before. You need to start being really careful now... if you keep up it may get worse or eek, lead to permanent issues. Let your OH know he's going to have to start kicking in even more help... and tell that man he better not make me fly to NZ and pull his beard out!

 

[rjsmam]

Thanks so much I'm pretty happy with it. I can't wait to get her dresser in there so I can get things properly put away though.

 

[zephyr]

Chloe - My heart skips a beat and I get butterflies every time someone mentions how many weeks I have left till full term. My son and I did have alot of fun with the bike, the only trouble was the getting up off the floor part afterwards haha

cliqmo - not at all, I would be pissed. What if that was the name you had chosen and then you had to re pick another because your sister named her dog that? For all she knows that could of been the name. I think its rude. I was going to say maybe she liked the name and forgot it was one of yours but then I scrolled down and read about the Poppy thing and omg......no wonder you are annoyed!
I'd put Poppy back on the list, even if I wasn't going to use it

Youngnimum - That sucks Its really hard when people announce the names they will be using early and some people choose to wait and then all of a sudden they have picked out your name by conicidence and you feel like you have to re pick it.
Could you still use it as a middle name? Maybe you could talk to her about it, she may not mind at all if she knows you already picked it out and its not the first name so.....

Vaurissa - Thanks I will try rest more, it seems all I do is sit all day long though. I mean I get up and do what needs to be done but thats it and usually I do so much. I hate to ask him to help more, he does so much already! I feel bad But my daughter did cook dinner and do the dishes for me last night and she was happy to do it which is unlike her

rjsmam - YES! I still have two whole boxes of cadbury dairymilk and caramello bars. I have not touched them Theres 24 in a box and last year we sold about 10 boxes I think for fundraising for the school, she was one of the top sellers and is every year. But this year unfortunately I cannot take her out cos of the pregnancy and OH is working long hours. I would buy (and eat) some but one bar costs the same as a block from the supermarket and no matter how much I want chocolate I cannot justify opening a box and spending that amount on it. Its very hard though

Omigosh - someone wrote something about Maltesers in here and I have not been able to stop thinking about them since! So now I have to get some.

 

[zephyr]

Yazzy! haha I just read it was you who said something about Maltesers!!

 

[Ems77]

I had to google Maltesers, to find out what they were. Our most common form of malted milk balls are Whoppers.
