If you loved a name BUT you knew someone who had a puppy the same name?

I have been in love with the name Ivy for a wee girl for yearrrrs

Due in 11 weeks and ivy has always been the front runner.

One of my friends has recently got a puppy and sods law named her ivy.

Would it out you off naming your baby if someone had a dog named it too?

No it wouldn’t put me off, but as with a friend having a baby, when the name was announced I’d have said ‘Oh that’s the name we have chosen too, it looks like there’ll be two of them!’

No it wouldn’t put me off if I liked the name.

No way and Ivy is a beautiful name

I wouldn't let that put you off. It's a lovely name and not like they will go to school together or anything Grin

No. Ivy is primarily a human name. You may lose touch with your friend. If you love it, use it. (It's a great choice.)
