I am not really stealing a name, but I know what I want to call my DC. I feel very strongly this is the right name, I felt the same with DS so I know it's right.
Anyway, in the interim, someone else has used the name. It's not a family member and it's not an close pre baby friend either. I would say it's a toddler group, "see in the street and say hi" friend, not much more (although she is lovely!).
It's not a popular name, but it's well known. I've had a couple of mums to be say "Just so you know we're considering insert DS's name" and I really don't mind and I like that they have warned me. But they were better friends.
Should I warn her? Tell her?
