It's an old friend from college days. We meet up in a group of housemates perhaps twice a year? We all lived together for three years so were very close. We would always invite each other to big events (weddings etc) but we're not in each other's everyday lives as in she lives in a totally diff part of the country and I'd maybe text her once every 6 months or so.
Last week she had a baby Emma - i'm due shortly. I appreciate this isn't exactly the most original, but it's not really list topping at mo. Anyway, we have had the name chosen since finding out we're having a girl - but have only told a few friends. We already have a DD and I just know I'd have been quite upset (irrationally?) if the other person had gone ahead with the name with it being our PFB.
Rightly or wrongly we're going ahead with it as we've always called the baby Emma, have sorted her room with name on wall etc etc
I just don't know how to do the right thing here in terms of telling her? She's so, so lovely and I want to handle this right. Please help me!

Calling baby the same as a friend's baby. Don't know how to handle.
