Name stealing?

my brother's best friend has just named his newborn the same name as my brother's son- who is four years old. Now I know that it is a compliment, but it's the way in which he conducted himself. He didn't consult with my brother, didn't even tell him his baby had been born a week ago. My brother heard from a friend. When he rang to congratulate him, and asked the baby's name, he commented it was nice that he had named him after his son: but his best friend had the audacity to say he didn't like the name at all, it was his girlfriend's choice, also he wasn't aware that my brother's son had that name, although he had an inkling! He said they consulted baby name books, etc. My brother is understandably upset and feels betrayed. We, as a family, feel my brother's pain. But are we being terribly unreasonable, or are we justified in our emotions?

Kungfu, im a bit skint until i sign on, trade you a burberry cap, crop top and a spliff?

TandB · 01/09/2011 10:07

I don't think we are taking the OP seriously enough.

Perhaps if we all cry a bit about being called slags and chavs she might come back and do us again.

I haven't had sex for AGES - can I fuck someone's husband now please?

TandB · 01/09/2011 10:07

What make of crop top?

It's not Primark is it? I don't like all that posh stuff me.

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 01/09/2011 10:08

Do we have to fuck each others husbands? It's just I'm a bit knackered from all the scrounging.

Kayano · 01/09/2011 10:08

I dismissed this thread as pathetic based upon OPs post and have not been back since....

Until now.

LMFAO - best thread ever!!!!

TandB · 01/09/2011 10:09

Have mine! Have mine! He might stop getting all amorous at me then.

I have a massive baby's head sitting right on my bladder so no sex happening here for a good long while.

[puts wig back on]

Yes you can, Stewie. I shall add you to the group action against the OP.

That will be £200 please.

ShirleyKnot · 01/09/2011 10:11

Hmm, SGM - I'm not sure - ASK A SOLICITOR!

kungfu - I'll only take him if you can reassure me that it won't be imaginary sex. Because I've had that imaginary sex before and to be honest? It was a bit scary.

Witchofthenorth · 01/09/2011 10:11

Chickens why don you crawl back to your scum ridden whore house and ignore your chavvy, fruit shoot guzzling brat children, then go shag your cheesy smelling excuse for a man. And at least my burberry is real you slaaaaaaag!

Is that ok or too much?

Kayano · 01/09/2011 10:12

We'll have to be wary of Blue waffle with all this husband fucking going
On!!!

[worries]

I don't think it is imaginary sex. I am pretty sure this isn't am imaginary baby making me wee all the time.

And I am damn sure the toddler currently trying to sit on my face isn't imaginary either.

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 01/09/2011 10:14

Oh, Witch, that gave me shivers of joy

TandB · 01/09/2011 10:14

Ooh, get you with your limited edition ponciness. It's barely a step down from Boden.

Too posh for the likes of me.

Witchofthenorth · 01/09/2011 10:14
