To be annoyed a friend called her baby the same as mine?

[tottryornottotry]

So a girl I worked with for 3 years (in a small team), who I've kept in touch with and we have mutual friends has called her baby the exact same name as mine. Both first and middle name. They are 9 months apart. It's quite an unusual name too. I feel really annoyed that my daughter had lost her originality somehow?!

probably get flamed for this but personally I think YANBU - unusual names, both first and middle?? nawww, if she knew that's what your DD is called then that would make my shit itch.
but don't worry - your daughter's name is still beautiful and special and it shouldnt be an issue if you move in different circles to the other lady.
when your DD's older you can laugh about this anyway.
