Would you use a name you know your friend LOVES and has been 'saving' ....

for when she has a girl?

When I say friend, the last time I saw her was about a month ago and before that Christmas. We do talk occasionally and I do class her as a friend, but not the 'see everyday or two and do loads of stuff together' sort.

Plus She has 3 boys, I have 2 boys (she is desperate for a girl) and I'm having a girl first.

??

probbaly not, always thought rachel was off to do so

I probably wouldn't.
If you had said you wanted it too the first time she brought it up that might make it easier.

That said, you do have the right to do this if you want to.

Ask her. She may never have a girl, or not mind sharing. I know she doesn't own the name as such, but it isn't very nice to use the name without considering the feelings of your friend.

What is the name, btw?

It's not Lydia is it?

No, sorry. Not worth the hassle IMO. Hope you find another name you like.
