I am currently loving the name Sam for our baby boy who is due in July. However, a really good friend of mine had a little Sam last September.
Do you think this means we can't consider Sam? I have been thinking that I can't use it, although it gets so hard as so many lovely names have already been used by friends and family!
Also, it's not like it's an unusual name and personally I don't think I'd mind if it were the other way around...
If we were to use it, I would of course ask her first, but I don't think she'd say she minded, even if she did (if that makes sense!) - hence asking everyone here for their opinion.
What do you think?!!
