The name which keeps coming out at the top of our list for DD2 is a fairly common name around here but was unfortunately also the name of one of the two girls who picked on my sister in school. I didn't think my sister would have an issue with it, as it's such a common name that lots of people have and school was such a long time ago, but when I brought it up with her she said she would be "a bit bothered" by us using the name. Unfortunately it seems to be the only name which both DH and I can agree on, after talking to my sister I searched around again but didn't find anything we liked better. I know it's ultimately our choice but I really don't want to upset my sister. I also wonder if once the baby arrived the association with the school bully would fade? I just don't know what to do and would like some opinions - would you use the name/not? Is there anything else you think we could try?
