Ok, my husband loves a baby boys name, totally loves it! He wants to call our 3rd child (due in 10 days) this name...problem? My best friend already has a 6 year old with the same name!
My friend and I have been friends for years and years, used to live together at uni and see each other regularly and live fairly close together.
However we don't all socialise as a 4-some (her husband and mine know each other through me and my friend not actually friends themselves) and our children don't go to the same school and only see each other on the odd weekend that we all get together or the summer holidays so it's my friend and I that are close rather than our families (if that makes sense!)
I really love the name too and would be very pleased to call our son the name (which is a fairly common top 15 name!) but I really don't want to upset my friend, I have asked her and she said she is fine if we use it but I wanted to know if anyone had a similar experience?!
Sorry for the long(ish) post!
Thanks in advance xxxx
