Found out this morning that our chosen name that we are dead set on has already been taken by a friend who has just had her baby.
It's not an overly popular name. Our friend didn't know we had it in mind it's just a total coincidence, she doesn't live in the same city but has lots of mutal friends with us and is hoping to move back here soon.
Our baby is due in a month so they will be very close in age.
so do you think we can still use the name??
thanks!
