It depends how close I was to colleague I suppose. If I socialised with them outside of work (so more friends) then no. If I worked somewhere very big and didn't have much to do with my colleague then I wouldn't be bothered UNLESS it was a very unusual name.

Rosalind
Evangeline
Genevieve
Juliet
Aurelia

No it definitely would not.

Anna
Rose
Amy
Lara
Emily

Apart from my daughter's name:

I don't think there's anything wrong with using a name a colleague chooses. You probably won't be colleagues forever. I'd probably have mentioned when the name was announced that it was one of your top choices too, what a coincidence. I think the popularity of the name influences my decision somewhat.If the name is Olivia, you can't be surprised that there are dozens of them; if the name is Artemisia then that might be more of an issue.

There are very few people whose baby names would affect my choices though (though I will admit when someone announces a name I often think 'good, that's not one of mine'!).

Apart from my own daughters:

Jemima
Polly
Elizabeth
Lydia
Clare

The colleague thing wouldn’t bother me, I don’t think.
