Stealing a Friend’s Baby Name

[@ourhomeiscool]

A “friend” and I were both going through infertility. I mentioned what I would name a little boy, I explained the meaning of the name and everything. She got pregnant not too long after that and named her child Benjamin, the name I have shared with her. I told her that it made me sad because I was waiting and praying to name my baby, I asked her if she had other names on her list. She went on to say “You don’t even know if you will ever get pregnant”. That wrecked me! She was not a good person, and we are not friends anymore. I have waited and prayed another 3 years to get pregnant, now I have 2 babies to name!!! 🤰🏻 #Godisgood #twins

Seriously, not just baby names, my step sister got married a few months before I did and I didn't really get along with her or her mom, but trying to be nice I talked to my step mom about what my plans were, every single thing I told her ended up being at my step sisters wedding including the father daughter dance song that she danced to with my dad (I loved her first) he didnt even become her step dad until we were both 18 and out of the house. I changed my song and my step mom and her kids didn't even show up at my wedding...

khristina lmao what are you talking about. Ross exposes Monica for knowing her baby names. Then when she says the boys name Rachel asks “and if it’s a girl” and Monica straight up says “I don’t wanna say”. And thennnnn Monica offers it after Rachel so obviously falls in love with it. You need to rewatch the scene. And just because Monica gives it to her she’s a good friend. Rachel shouldn’t have taken it and just said no.

[@auzrielle]

Formay Youtuv the point is is that Monica gave her permission too and Rachel made sure to confirm with her. So none of that really matters. If there’s permission there shouldn’t be an issue.

Maya Clery Right. And do people know how hard it is to pick a baby name? So much research and thought put into it. Imagine scouring the internet looking for the perfect name, looking up meanings and origins, everything and finally finding the one that’s special to you just for someone to take it and beat you to the punch. 😒 Lol I’m mad just thinking about it.

[@ruruvarela]

This day in age are obsessed with having unique names. And famcy spellings to traditional names. Its soo wack and over rated. I work at a call center and i hear thousands of names duplicate names. Ppl getade when you try to spell it and thier information dnt pop up because they wanted to put a spin on the spelling. But guess what even with the correct spelling you can find duplicats... Dnt ever think its unique. It my have segnificance to the person so chose it or has it but its still just a name. Myabe i look at it differently becuase of the call center. And it also gets on my nerves to think ppl are special because of thier name. When hour rude on the phone...... Your special ass is going to get hung up on regardless. Thats a different topic. But yes back to what i was saying... A name is a name is a name. In mexico is more of an aha moment when you know someone yas your name. You call them tocayos or tocayas. Its actually forms a unique bond at times

[@boojank]

voflbcr numnumnum people are going a bit overboard trying to be unique. I think my children have pretty plain names and have the traditional spelling of those names and I did that on purpose. I was thinking ahead to graduation and when they get old enough to apply for jobs. That being said, people still butcher their names sometimes. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@ruruvarela]

@Baby Dollz i got my message across

[@personalpersonal9356]

Honestly ! If I ever have a child(s) myself I want to give them a very special name .. I care so much and love them so much so I want their makes to be special and what I think defines them. If I choose an ild name that's rarely even used then so be it and it's unique as well . By the way I actually knew a girl naked Unique cause she is unique in her own way . She have such a lovely freaking name . The fact people do that crap is honestly freaking upsetting ... They should go find and take time for their own special name to find for THEIR child .. Not steal someone else's .

My senior year of high school I told the girl I was sitting next to that my first son would be name Harrison James as I love the Beatles and the name James has always sounded so nice to me. I had that name in my mind for nearly 10 years at that point. She got pregnant right at the end of senior year and when her baby was born she made this big announcement of her son and his name: Harrison James. I was shocked. I’d only had one class with this girl and she was nice enough but I never would have expected she’d steal my baby name that I briefly mentioned ONCE. Someone asked her what made her think of his name and her response was “oh it just came to me one day” 😂😂😂 sure sweaty.

I feel if you don't want people 'copying' you then don't tell people personal stuff because unfortunately there are a lot of jealous people out there. Slightly off subject but I feel it's the same with weddings not just baby names. When I got married, apart from close family, I never told anyone details about my dress, flowers, music etc because I knew quite a few women who were getting married around about the same time, and to be honest, I know how some women have tendencies to be petty and 'steal' ideas. When it comes to baby names I don't even discuss with people whether I have plans to have babies in future. I honestly just see that as being me and my husband's business. The only other person I talk about that stuff with is my mom.

I had never thought about this until it happened to me. One of my husband’s cousins came out for a family event when both I and his wife were pregnant. Literally a month different in due dates. The wife said the name they had for boy and girl. This was over thirty years ago. After she did that, I said we had decided on Andrew, and to call him Drew, if it was a boy. She has her baby a few months later, and it’s a boy, and lo and behold they named him Andrew, and said he would be called Drew. We have the same last name, which makes a bigger difference. I was FLABBERGASTED because these were pastors as well, which to me made it even worse. So underhanded to do this! We scrambled to figure out a different name for our son, as I didn’t want to name him the same name as his cousin. Everyone was complimenting the cute name and they acted like it just came to them one day. I’ve never forgotten how mean spirited and underhanded that woman was to do that.

[@shelocsher2396]

Happened to me in high school. My friends were expecting a daughter, they already had a name picked out. A bunch of us were sharing names we liked for our future children. Fast forward a few months they ditched the name they originally had and took mine 😤. I wasn’t having a baby anytime soon, so I felt a little silly being upset, but from that moment I decided to never share baby names with ANYBODY. Not even with my s/o until we’re expecting!

[@kayd8925]

There are so many envious snakes pretending to be true friends these days, which is exactly why I would just say idk yet and keep the name to myself until after the baby is born.

[@keepingupwithchanellll]

They still will STEAL IT EVEN AFTER THE BABY IS BORN

[@jessess6810]

I was meant to be called Charlotte, after my granddad Charles. My cousin then named her daughter Charlotte after our Granddad passed away. I was always a twin & my twin brother, Nathan, passed away. My family all know that Nathan is MY name if I ever have a son.

[@racheltaitano]

I think the best way for people to not steal your baby names is don’t tell them the names at all.

[@aliciap8583]

I was in love with the name Camden since I was 10 years old. But then right out of high school my step sister decided she'd name her child my baby name and ever since then I have not spoken to her. I've had 2 miscarriages and struggle with fertility.

[@LovelyMsPretty]

This is exactly why I don’t tell anyone what I will name my children. That would blow my mind 😒

[@jst_jordan]

I had a friend in high school that was a pathological liar; another friend of ours mentioned that she wanted to name her twins Zane and Zariah; the pathological liar brought a fake obituary for her mother one day, and in the part that listed surviving relatives, low and behold was: Zane and Zariah ..... people can be insane.

[@jessess6810]

If anyone “stole” my baby name I wouldn’t give a crap. I’d still name my kids whatever the hell I want!!

[@carmencitadavis3751]

No one in this world owns the rights to a name, because if they did, there wouldn't be so many people with the same name in the world.

That happen to me. I actually chose the name Adrian for a boy when I was pregnant the first time. I had a girl.so when I had my son everyone knew from the beginning. Me and my friends were pregnant at the same time her son came 3 weeks before mine. Everyone who went to the hospital was like isn’t that yaya’s son name. Lol and now we both have Adrian’s mind you she said she was naming him Matthew. Never once mentioned it the whole 9 months. 🙄

I am surprised that the girls are the ones in these comments not understanding the point of this which is the name isn't the issue of the situation which is the way that the friend who was lying about small things like if you are willing to lie to me about the small things then what else are you willing to lie to me about. Also the covering up the fact that you did it in the first place.

Me & my sister in law had the same babygirl name. I misscarried & she stayed with the name without carrying about my feelings. & she hated that everyone in the family would tell her that i had the same chosen aswell & she made a big scene about it while i would just stay quiet about it.

She's very selfish. So sorry about your loss. 🙏

[@kaylaellisor6619]

My brother in law did this, we mentioned the name that we loved for our second child and his gf gave birth that month and they named their child the name I had mentioned,, i was furious but they thought I was crazy because I'm not even pregnant yet. But now I know not to ever mention anything to anyone

[@DrHen-xd3rv]

Ive had a friend like this for almost 10 years. My mom always told me in the beginning of our friendship that we were not friends. Long story short it took me years to realize that she really wasn't my friend. We never had issues with baby names bc i didn't have a baby until after i stopped taking to her but she would literally copy EVERYTHING i said i would do and did do. In the end she was a real life hater. Glad shes out my life for good!

[@JasColeWood]

This happened with my cousins. My one cousin was pregnant and her and my other cousin started talking about names. Cousin B goes, "I love the name Ava Marie. Thats what I want my daughters name to be." Cousin A goes "Oh thats cute." 9 months later Cousin A popped out Ava Marie and my other cousin was furious.

[@noone8662]

I have a friend who had only boys and then got pregnant with her baby girl. She asked me if she could call her like my daughter who was 2 I think at the time. In her case, it was because she liked it and out of admiration for me as a friend she looked up to... I had no objection, but she ended up picking another name along the way cause ppl were being anoying about it.

[@Ash-ud3fy]

Just give everybody a fake name you hate so that they stop bothering you about a name and don't steel the one you actually love. I had to learn this the hard way when my friend stole the name I wanted to name my baby girl. She had told me she was going to name her Skyler so I thought it was safe to say the name I wanted my kid to have and told her I wanted to name my baby Charlotte. I wasn't pregnant at the time though. Anyways cut to her having the baby, and her announcing the name for the first time after the birth I was shocked. She named her Charlotte Skyler!

[@charlynegouveia8110]

I thought it was normal to NOT tell the babys name until its born...

[@naturallyanna153]

My sister and I were pregnant at the same time I told her the name I wanted if it were a girl. I ended up having a boy but I still wanted to keep the girl name for the future. We’ll when she had her daughter she named her the girl name I told her. She didn’t ask or anything just gave her the name. I was pissed and I felt betrayed. I’ll never forget. She’s shady af.

[@KEZIAHAMIRRA]

That hapnd to my mom and me. My name was suppose to be keisha, My mom friend had her daughter the day befor i was born and she took keisha, So my mom named me, Keziah-Amirra. I love that way better then keisha, So thank u shay.

This happened to an old friend of mine. She wanted to name her future daughter a variation of her own name. Her supposed friend got pregnant and named her daughter my friend's made up name. As with most people's story, the friend didn't discuss it prior nor did she apologize. So messed up...

[@austincruz9651]

Friends stealing your child’s name.completely SHADY

[@mistyisntded91]

Ugh I had this happpen to me. My "best friend" and I grew up with eachother from Kindergarten all the way to adulthood. She and I found out we were pregnant at the same time, her with her 3rd child, me with my 2nd. We worked at a daycare together. Her, a couple coworkers and I were at lunch and she was just like, "Do you guys have names picked out?" I was like, "Yeah, I think so." She kept begging me to tell everyone. We were going to keep it secret but I was like, Screw it...its not like she's going to steal it or anything. My husband and I were together since we were 15 & 16 and had our names picked out since then. So I said, "Well, we know for sure if it's a boy we are naming him Kolton Terry (after my husband's dad that had passed away)." She's like, "Yeah...we have no idea yet." Everyone at the table heard our conversation and 2 days later at work another coworker that wasn't at our lunch asked what we are naming our babies...she quickly said, "Oh, my boyfriend and I agreed on Kolton Terry." I was furious. And she ended up using the name and I had a girl. We are no longer friends after this...I'm now pregnant with baby #3 and no one will know our name for her. Whether it's sentimental or not.

[@moonchild708]

imagine being so jealous and stupid that you're willing to steal a name that has no sentimental value to you. i'm sure your kids have really awesome and special names!

[@sarahcha7029]

This is why you don't tell anyone your dream kids' names! LOL

[@tinytoma25]

This happened to my husband and I too, but it happened with my husband's brother. We mentioned we were trying to get pregnant (btw hubby suffers from male infertility) his brother had just had a baby boy about 4 months prior. He was upset because his girlfriend named the baby boy and he didn't like the name that she had chosen for their first born. We somehow mentioned (BIG MISTAKE) that if WE ever had a baby boy what WE would name him and then all of a sudden 2 months later they announced they were pregnant AGAIN!!!? For their entire pregnancy they didn't let us know what they were planning on naming the baby boy that they were going to have, which was odd because with the first they did announce the first baby's chosen name that the girlfriend picked out. So when their 2nd baby boy was born, guess what name they gave him??? YOU GUESSED IT!!!! They named him the name WE had previously told hubby's brother what name we would give our baby for if we had a baby boy in the future!!!!!!! 🤔😠 NEVER AGAIN!!! WILL I EVER MENTION SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!!! SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST PLAIN SCANLESS!!! Anyway, years later we finally had our first baby and it was a boy!!! We decided NOT to tell anyone our chosen baby NAME'S for both genders because we didn't want anyone's opinions to affect our chosen names because some people will always have something negative to say 😒 We decided ALSO to not know our baby's gender until the actual due date!! And we looooove our baby's chosen name even more than the first one we had originally thought of lol! 😅 So I guess it worked out for the best, but still it was messed up that your own family members are capable of doing this type of crap also! 🤔

[@imjusthereorthere]

Y’all I would be PPPPPPPPIIIIIIISSSSSSED!!!!! If my best friend did that to me knowing it toke 5 months, long conversations with my hubby and research behind each names (unique/other language) for you to take it like that *snaps

[@dantoinettem6825]

People who steal baby names are unimaginative and can't think for themselves. They like (and stole) the name because you said you liked it. Its because they needed someone else's approval before they could like it enough to use the name.

[@cynthiagriffin152]

It could be that the friend that stole the names doesn’t consider herself to be as close to the OG mom as the OG mom thinks. Ever been in a situation where an acquaintance introduces you as their best friend? Maybe it’s like that

[@jaymesigler6402]

My ex husband threw a tantrum because I didn't name him what he wanted... but he's not even involved and we hadn't even talked for like 2 months when I chose a different name. And he made fun of me for saying that God gave me the name.
