Is this inappropriate or am I too sensitive?

DP and his ex Jayne split up about 2 years ago but stayed friends (fwb while not in relationship). I have always been uncomfortable with how close they are as they talk a lot.

She recently tagged him in a stupid social media thing. "2nd person in your @ list is pregnant". Fine. Not fine, imo, her comment: "If it's a girl maybe you can call it Jayne?"

I told DP that was really inappropriate and to me constitutes flirting. He insists it was innocent and people often name kids after close friends (not that we would name a child that anyway, just a general statement). I think it's highly inappropriate from an ex to say that, even in jest.

Thoughts?

I say that to everyone if you have a girl call her (my name) it means nothing

Wouldn't be too bothered at them being friends on FB but regular messages would be a no no. Staying at his? Absolutely no way would I allow that. Totally inappropriate and would be a deal breaker for me, wouldn't give a toss she lives far away. If she's visiting there must be someone else she can stay with. Most men would see this is inappropriate, I'd be concerned he seems to think it's fine 🙄🙄
It's never happened though, purely hypothetical.
