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?
