If you want to talk about drama for baby mamas, bring up names. From name changing to name stealing, monikers have become a big to do. Emotions often run high when couples finally come up with a name they can agree on only to have it swiped by a friend, family member or acquaintance.
Where do you stand on this issue?















I would never use a name I knew a close friend or family member had chosen with asking how they felt about it. I think that's rude.
If a friend of mine "stole" my name, it wouldn't be a huge issue, even though I wouldn't do it to them. A family member, that'd probably cause a huge rift. We're considering using the same nickname my sister uses for her son, and she and I had a discussion about it. If she had ANY objections, I wouldn't even consider it. As it is, we're unlikely to use it just because of confusion.
Ask first. Your friend/sister may not care at all if you use it. Or she and the father may have put a huge amount of effort into choosing the name, had a hard time agreeing, and would be upset to find out that you plan to snag it.
