FIRST TIME POSTER
I have two lovely, lovely friends. Let's call them Asha and Anna. Now, both women are sweet and kind with the loveliest personalities. However, Asha and Anna have been best friends since infant school and have always been fiercely competitive. They were friends for one of their high school years before breaking apart completely to make other friends and reuniting in their last year of high school. They went to different colleges which made things easier in their friendship before returning to the same uni where they met me. I became a sort of obstacle against their competitiveness and we all have a good friendship. Asha has four kids and is expecting her fifth. Anna has two girls and is expecting her third child. Asha and Anna have both become ridiculously infatuated with the name Elena for this pregnancy. This driven a huge rift between them and is causing them to fight and argue constantly! Asha claims that her children's names fit better whilst Anna says that Asha has had her chances to use Elena. Asha's kids are called Maya Claire, Leela Rose, Indira Jane and Kiran Xavier. Anna's little girls are called Hope Finley and Estelle Kiernan. There was annoyance about Estelle's middle name being Kiernan as Asha has Kiran but not as much as this battle over Elena! They have both turned to me and have asked me to choose who will use the name! Would it be wrong of me to tell them to sod off and go home in peace? Blush I have a son called Levi Haley Prince.
Who would you give the name to and do you think IABU to not want to choose?

Well MY friends Brenda and Breeda are rowing as well.

They both want to call their DS Haydn.

Brenda already has boys called Jayden, Kayden and Brayden and says it will go well with her names.

Breeda only has girls, called Bach and Mozart. She says Brenda has had her chance to use Haydn.

What do I advise? MY kids are called Ptolomy and Henrietta.

By the way all these names are lies anyway.

Why did you add so many names if they're all fake? Surely it adds nothing to this (stupid) story.

Bloody hell, get a life and find a new hobby will you? Like get a pen pal?

Jessbow · 28/06/2016 19:31

Both should use the name, and everyone will feel mighty sorry for the boys when they start school

RebootYourEngine · 28/06/2016 19:33

I would tell them none of them can use it.

My child is called Howden Ramsey McStuffi Wink

My name is Eileen Brenda Darlene. My son is called Dylan Disney Ryder. Note the 'y'. My friend Elena Francesca Madonna and I fought over it for her entire pregnancy - she wanted to call her baby Dillon Dizznayy Rider - but then she had twin girls called Addison Summer Leigh and Betsy Shaznay Rosetta, so, like, WIN!

FledglingFridge · 28/06/2016 19:36

Dance off or a knife fight, depending on how posh or not the name is. It's the only way.
