I have a question that has been bugging me...
Has anyone named their baby with a name of someone they know, whether family, friend or aquaintance and that person automatically assumed you named baby after them?
Reason I ask is a lot of the boys names I like but still not mad keen on are all the same as a lot of friends names, or my cousins! Also with girls names, one of the reasons I discounted Emma was I know about 8 through various channels!
So are people odd enough to say 'did you name baby after me/my dc', and you just say 'no, we like the name'! Or does anyone get annoyed if you give your dc the same name as someone else's dc? Is it ever awkward?
Apologies if this is rambling and non-sensical!
