Am I being insensitive?

Hello
We are expecting DD1 after 3DS this summer so have never had to choose a female name before!
A very close friend lost her daughter 4 years ago and I know she wanted to have another child but this never happened sadly and is highly unlikely to now. Once, a couple of years ago, we were discussing names for girls and she came out with a name that I have always loved. I would so like to call our new baby this name but am worried that I am going to hurt her enormously if I do this, it might have been her name for her baby if she had got pregnant again. DH thinks I am being ridiculous, am I being hormonal or should I just ask her?
Thanks

normally i would say that no-one owns a name and you should call your baby whatever you like

however, this is a bit different, and i think i definitely would talk to her first and see what she says.
