I don't really consider it name stealing actually but we are planning to name our next DC the same name as one of my friend's DS.
We see said friend around once a year and this was always the name we liked for a DS (we already have a DD) and it has got a family connection for us and it is top 10 so hardly unique.
Anyway, we know the sex of our DC but we aren't announcing it until the birth so the first my friend will know is when DP contacts everyone to let them know the baby has arrived. Would it be better if I forewarned her as I know people get funny about these things? Or just let her receive the blanket text that everyone will get?
And no, we don't like any other name half as much so we aren't prepared to change it!
