When my son was born we gave him an unusual middle name. Most people were very complimentary but one friend put a public comment on facebook saying what was I thinking and had I had my brain removed rather than having a baby. At the time (the day after I had my baby) I was very hurt and removed this comment. I thought of contacting my friend and letting them know how much they had upset me even though I think it was an ill judged joke. The friend also has a child with a rather odd name that I dont personally like and in my opinion very unsuitable for a girl, but would never dream of telling them that. A name is personal choice. In the end I didnt take it further and let it go.
However, another friend has recently had a baby and has given them a very unusual (but fabulous name) and they were congratulated on the name by the friend who criticised my name choice. I now feel it was a personal attack. Should I contact them and clear this up or should I just forget it/ cull the friend
