AIBU- Someone has used my unusual baby name

[MmmmDonuts]

I wanted my baby to have a one of a kind unique name.
I made up a name that I love. It's definetly never been used before.
(I realise this sounds dodgy already)

Anyway, my baby is 7 months old and someone in my town has just given birth and used the name.
I actually feel really gutted about it.

I realise I am about to be flamed in the comments.
BUt how can I feel less gutted about this? Meh

[PurpleDaisies]

What's the babe?

[ineedmorethanthis]

Is the name Donuts?

[PurpleDaisies]

That should say name!

[NorksAreMessy]

You know you are going to tell us the name, don't you?

[Passmethecrisps]

Be flattered that you have obviously started a fabulous new trend

[Taylor22]

You don't own the name unless you copyrighted it.

What is the name?

[NapQueen]

I suppose you could be a bit flattered?

And also unless you or someone has told her of the name it cant be that unique otherwise someone else wouldnt have used it.

Yabu to start a thread about a name and not share the name.

[NeedsAsockamnesty]

Someone you know?

[Crunchymum]

You know this is going to be like 8 pages asking you to give the name right?

[carjacker1985]

Did you tell them the name? If you didn't, then it can't actually be a made up name, that both of you just happened to make up, surely.

[Celticlassie]

Have you told anyone? Cos it can't be that unique if you haven't...?

[JanuaryJuniper]

Does this person know you...is it just a coincidence or did they get the idea from you?

I would be pretty pissed off tbh, whether that is rational or not I wouldn't care 😉

[Crunchymum]

Jonquil? Jagwa?

Ballonz?

[DjangoUnchained]

Guarantee if you say the name someone on here will have taught one.

[MonkeyJumping]

Her baby is 7 months old so I imagine the OP has toldnpeople the name, yes.

OP, try to be flattered.

[PurpleDaisies]

Jonquil is a real name crunchy.

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

That's a risk when you take when you chose an unusual name.
Its not copying as No one owns a name.

[TittyGolightly]

Jonquil

That's an actual name.

[carjacker1985]

Oh well done MonkeyJumping, I misunderstood the OP.

Well in that case, you can't get too upset about it, unless you took out a copyright you don't own the name!

[AccrualIntentions]

"Someone in your town"? Seriously, unless your town is Emmerdale, no one will give a shit. If it was a friend or relative I could understand your thinking.

[LineysRun]

It was me.

I melded into your thoughts and got 'Spocketta'.

Or it was just a coincidence.

[GodIsDead]

Brilliant. Now tell us the name OP.

[AdalindSchade]

What's the name?

[PelvicFloorClenchReminder]

It's too difficult to ascertain whether you are unreasonable or otherwise without knowig the name. Please do tell, before the thread gets to 1000 posts. We're nosy, and we never give up.

[GriefLeavesItsMark]

Yes but if you spell it Johnkwill that will make it unique (probably).
