  Re: She Stole My BABY NAME!!!!! Mark as Not AnswerMark as Answer... Reply Contact DONT CHANGE THE NAME. and she can just explain if anyone asks that your mom thought up that beautiful name to name her after he mother, and it was such a beautiful name that when her aunt heard it she decided to name her cousin that as well! (you dont have to say where she heard it from but im sure she heard it from you and just doesnt remember or is being evil!)

  Re: She Stole My BABY NAME!!!!! Reply Contact I wouldn't change her name.  It's the name you chose and love for a very good reason.  What your cousin is naming her baby doesn't matter...if people ask later, you can just tell them you named your daughter after your mother and your cousin can explain why she named her daughter the same name. I understand though, why you are having second thoughts.  I wouldn't want my kids having the same names as their cousins, but sometimes that just happens!  If you aren't close to your cousin and won't be seeing her or her daughter much, it won't really matter anyway.

  Re: She Stole My BABY NAME!!!!! Reply Contact I can understand you not changing it if you can deal with someone else so close to you and so close to your baby's age having the same name.  I personally feel like you I want a unique name and if I was 100%sure that she would not change her name I would have to change mine.  If I didn't it would bother me for the rest of my life and you will have to explain all the time.

  Re: She Stole My BABY NAME!!!!! Reply Contact It depends on how strongly you feel about the issue even though I must admit that that is terrible. If a tribute to your mom is more important to you then name her that name. Perhaps you can spell it differently or hyphenate it with something else. If uniqueness is more important then start thinking up other names and if you do then keep them to yourself. people will know your children's names when you have your children.

  Re: She Stole My BABY NAME!!!!! Reply Contact I would confront her again and Tell her that she needs to change her baby name because that you had picked it out and these are very special names and I had a heard time naming my two babies since, I am having Twins.  Ask her, If she has any respect for other people baby names in the family and she needs to name her own baby not usingsome one else baby name in the family because her baby is unique just like yours.   Dr. do not know if , I am having twins or just one but we jusy told very body the names last week.  I do not tell my familywhat names we are using until after 34 weeks and hopefully everybody else has there baby names picked by then. I am due Feb. 11.                                                           GOOD LUCK ON THIS ONE !                                                                        MELINDA

She has nothing but "oh its a name i heard and thought it was cute." hopefully you have your baby first!!! good luck!!

  Re: She Stole My BABY NAME!!!!! Reply Contact Glad you stuck it out and kept the name and they are changing theirs! Though I have to say it's really not horrible to have the same name as a cousin. I have a cousin who was born the day before me and her parent's stole my parents name for me, even used almost the same middle name they'd chosen. I was supposed to be Kara Lynnette, and they named her Kara Lynn. So my parents were angry but still named me Kara but gave me a different middle name (Thank Heavens! no offense to anyone named Lynnette but I hate that name!). But we were good friends growing up and thought it was cool we had the same name.
