stole my name

[purpledahlia]

my friend stole my boy name.......... i know ive been told its probably a girl but i still feel let down she used the name i chose for a boy.. she knew i ahd chosen it and she said dont worry i wont use it... then did.. and hes here and hes called ethan and if i turn out to have a boy it will look like i copied her.. its making me sad. i hope i am def on team pink!!!

what do people think of the name savannah??

 

[DizzyMoo]

yep i like it hun xx
replied on ur thread about the name thing , don't let it bother you xxxxx

 

[lili24]

Ahhh, I would not be happy about that either. That's the reason I have not told anyone the names I like. I think Savannah is gorgeous x

 

[lyndsey3010]

That's bang out of line.

Savannah is lovely, just don't tell anyone in case someone else steals it!

 

[purpledahlia]

well i dont know anyone who is gonna be pregnant after me, im the last one... actually one girl just announced shes preg and due in feb, but im just upset this girl did that, she didnt even have it on her list at all...... i wonder if she will say anything to me!? i hope i have a girl now or ill be really upset - if its a boy i will say something but we'll see. It just makes it worse cos i LOVE LOVE LOVE Ethan and i dont have a girls name chosen, its hard! its making me not be so happy about her baby.. i know it sounds harsh but its a barrier.
i need to find a perfect name! ill see my babys face at the scan i booked but cant afford... hopefully find a perfect name..

 

[Baby2ontheway]

dont let it get to you! I love the name Savannah my cousins little girls are named Savannah and MaKennah

 

[Kirstin]

Does she know your having a girl?

 

[purpledahlia]

i told her the sonographer said probably but i wasnt sure cos she didnt show me what she was looking at, so i was gonna get a 4d scan when i was like 32 weeks. i know its like me being dumb she can call him anything she wants, i just wish she hadnt.. if i turn out to be having a boy ill be so gutted. but if it is infact a girl i will get over it... just one of those things that make u take a step back like say whaaaaa ?? eh..

It hardly matters. This is the name someone will have for the rest of their lives, which is more important than what some friend you have is doing. It shouldnt be an issue if both boys are called Ethan. I hardly think he'll be bothered about some other kid who had the same name when he's older As for it looking like copying, if your friend really thinks you're THAT uncreative she surely doesn't know you so well!

 

[MoonMuffin]

Hun, if you LOVE the name, then if its a boy name him Ethan anyways! She's the one who copied you, and if she gets upset just say that you'd said all along that if it was a boy he'd be Ethan, and your not changing your plans because she decided to use the same name.

Oh and I think that Savannah is lovely hun. It was on our short list when I was PG with Kathryn.

 

[purpledahlia]

i know, in the long run it doesnt matter but i just feel like because she knew it was my no1 and she hadnt even thought of it and we have so many mutual friends they wud think ' well her ethan was born first ' or ' didnt so and so call her baby that in aug - theyr good friends ' type thing. its just annoying. just really annoying.
well i hope idef have a girl, ive started a new list and theres a few names on it, its harder than choosing a boy name tho, hpoefully somethig sticks out soon, i seem to like the same sort of names... violet scarlett ruby savannah etc..

 

[dali]

how rude , i would be really annoyed. some pople just have no imagination of therie own

savannah is very sweet. i you have a boy and she hasnt used your boy name then feel free to use it anyway dont let her stop you, if anyone says "thats what ____ was going to call her baby if it was a boy" you can just tell them that she actually knew that you had already decided on it , then she looks like the name steler she is , lol.

good luck with baby

Thats why we didnt tell anyone our top 3s... Ethans really nice, i had that on a list for next time But Robin refused it anyways

Make a list of like 5 names and just dont make a definate desision and then closer to the date i bet you just know which one you like. We had our top few and we dropped a few out as we didnt like them closer to due date
Also dont tell anyone... NEVER tell people who you know your fav names spesh if they're kinda unusual!!!

 

[Blob]

Scarlett and Ruby were on our fav list V cute.

 

[purpledahlia]

sarah you know how i am struggling with choosing a girls name, and even tho im glad its a girl and i know what to do with girls etc... i cant help but feel rubbish about not getting to use the ONE name i LOVED. Ethan was just.... perfect. even told my family.

if it is a boy i will still use it, and if she gets annoyed ill say quite clearly, '' well you knew i had chosen it from day1.... im not gonna not use it cos u copied!!! '' i know her top names and ethan wasnt on it. i shouldnt of told her.

i have one unusual girls name i kinda really like, im too scared to say it now!! :S ... but i know ONE person in my entire life called it and shes BEAUTIFUL. i need to find out what it means and find a middle name that 'flows' with my surname... Ruby's been on my list since day1 too... but now its so popular.. but i do like it a lot. and scarlett. we'll see. im gonnna fork out for a private scan.. i NEED 100% confirmation its a girl.

least i dont have to argue with the FOB over names... haha! i can choose all by myself!

Its fine to share our wish lists or names we want to give our future babies online. Who cares if our babies have same names anyway? But if it happens between two friends and they hang out often, i think having your babies share names would be weird and crazy. I think you just understand your friend and think that you helped her make up a good name for her baby.

 

[purpledahlia]

i would like her to at least say to me '' i really loved it when i heard it.. '' or something, just cos she didnt sayanything. yeah i agree i dont care the fact the names cud be the same, that doesnt bother me, its the fact she didnt even have it on her list till i said it then she didnt talk to me about it, just used it and i got a shock, i felt kinda betrayed.. we were keeping our names a secret but shared it with each other then she used the one i said not either of her choices. i dont care at all if the kids have the same name... its more the fact i feel a bit betrayed.

oh well, im focussing on girls names now, gonna make another list and pin it on the wall, see what sticks out each day!

 

[MummaBump]

My friend did the same to me when i was pregnant with my daughter, I wanted to call her Bailey she even said she wasn't keen on the name, she gave birth a few weeks before me and named her daughter Bailey.... so when i got my Boxer Puppy i called it Bailey!! To be fair she did me a favour i actually don't like the name now.

Savannah is a lovely name!

 

[jackiea85]

Savannah is lovely hun. I had the exact same problem with someone when I was pregnant. We had told everyone we were calling LO Joshua and then 1 week before he was born someone I knew had her baby and called him Joshua! So we had to find a new name at the last minute, finding that one had been hard enough! Next time I would never tell anyone the name I had picked, people can't be trusted xx

 

[jadesh101]
