use a name that you loved but revealed to someone else who has now stolen it and is due before me?? my own fault for saying really, but she had already chosen her names for her little boy (spencer, jayden) and now has announced to everyone that she is going to call her little boy finlay...which is what i told her i was calling my baby boy....would u still use the name? im a bit annoyed esp as spencer and jayden are nowhere near similar to finlay imo...

Who is she to you? Are you still likely to have much to do with her? It could be a bit odd if you still see a lot of eachother. But if you are also ditching her as a friend then I see no reason not to go for it. I like Finlay BTW and it's nothing like Jayden for sure!

driven its her first boy, spencer and jayden were the names she had narrowed down herself and then announced to everyone he was actually definitely going to be finlay after id told her what id chosen....im not after opinions on the name, i know its popular and some people wont like it, what i want to know is would u still use a name and risk being seen as a copycat even tho u thought of the name first?

I wouldn't use.

IMO Spencer and Jayden and Finlay are a good sibling set. I don't like any of them...

i would use it. Stuff her if she hasn't got the brains to think up a name all by herself

I would still use it.
