Q: Help, Friend Wants to Steal My Babys Name!

I nanny for a friend. She has 3 kids and 1 due in febuary. I'm due in may. I told everyone, before we both got pregnant that i'm naming my baby olivia frances. Frances is a family name. When I told her the name she said, "i really like that name". Now, she's telling mutual friends she wants to use the name alivia frances. I'm upset & hurt by this. Should I say something? What should I do. I'm with her kids everyday, and take great care of them. I treat her family like my own. Help me!

If it were me I would ask her if she remembered me having said what I wanted to name my baby. Ask her if it would be weird to her to have your babies have the same name. Also ask her why she would steal your idea, its rediculous.

Yea that's terrible....I don't know what i'd do...I'd be really pissed though...I like the other girl's idea...That might work. Sounds like the girl might be jealous of you and she's probably doing this to get at you. Ask her how she'd like it if u named your kid the same as one of hers.

baby names...
My best friend is due to give birth in a couple of weeks. Her and her husband know what they're having but haven't told anyone. They had also agreed on names (for both a boy and girl, just in case!), but recently changed their mind on a girls name.

The girl's name that they now want to use is Scarlett. I have always adored the name Scarlett for a girl (I am mildly obsessed with Gone with the Wind & Scarlett O'Hara) and everyone that knows me (including mother to be) knows how much I adore this name and want to use the name if I ever have a girl.

It has a bit of sentiment to it as well because I always used to watch Gone with the Wind with my late grannie when I was a child. Vivien Leigh was one of her favourite actresses, so now every time I watch Scralett in Gone with the Wind, it actually gives me nice memories of my Grannie.

I am really upset, but don't know if I am being unreasonable? Do I say something? Do I just wait until the baby is born? Hey, it may even be a boy and then I have nothing to worry about? Do I point out that you just don't do that to your best friend? Or do I just let it slide and deal with it?
