Am I out of order or being a bitch. Me and h2b are expecting our first child in April. Me and my sister in law have always discussed names of babies. I always had a little boys name but was never sure on a girls name. Now we've found out we're having a girl we cannot decide/agree on a name all that's in my head is the name my sister in law wants.... Should I confront her or just try and find an alternative name? As I don't think i would be happy if she pinched my boys name?! I'm so torn but I cannot get this name out my head!

You might meet the kid and think she looks like someone completely different.

Do babies REALLY look like a name? Imo they all look the same!

@Grufallosfriends When it's your own they do. Especially with all the hormones ;)

I guess you could check that she still loves the name and hasn't changed her mind.

But you can't steal her name!

That. It's always possible that another name has become her favourite now. So is worth a check. But as in a lot of areas in life, treating people as you'd wish them to treat you, is always a good rule. If you wouldn't want her to use 'your' name, then don't use 'hers'.
