Monica said if she ever had a baby girl she'd name it Emma. Rachael promptly stole it and used it, and Monica was upset but gave her permission.<br /><br />I personally would not tell until the baby was born and officially named so others would not use it. But when names are common, pretty much all of them, no one's got the right to tell you what you can and can't name your baby anyway, so if your friend has a baby with the name you want, go ahead and use it anyway. It's not your firend's business what you name your baby.<br /><br />People are always so scared to do something. I'd rather lose an idiot control freak friend than name my baby something else because she had already used it.Jewel Divas Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12320080899578242346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-419354252042668055.post-79501632198867598502012-05-07T15:22:53.404+10:002012-05-07T15:22:53.404+10:00I like it!

Perhaps a good thing she told you years later...<br /><br />Some people like to say the name prior so they themselves can bond, which is nice :)<br /><br />For us, I did love the idea of not knowing the genders, nor announce the names. One of the few surprises left in life.Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993284110948167183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-419354252042668055.post-7451452914355016072012-05-07T14:21:59.911+10:002012-05-07T14:21:59.911+10:00I was accused of taking someone else's baby af...I was accused of taking someone else's baby after many years after she was born. Little did they know I had looked for a meaning and up popped the name on the Internet. I think people should keep it to themselves that way you can't accuse people of stealing your baby name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
