Someone used the girl name we have had our hearts set on for 6 years (since I was pregnant with #1). The same name my 5yo calls the next baby by even though I'm not pregnant yet. The name I hear when I imagine calling out to my daughter.
The person who used it is my best friend from middle school who lives an hour away. We don't really see each other or hang out more than once every couple of years, so it's likely it won't be a problem for us to still use the name. But, man, I didn't expect it to hurt so much. We don't know any other kids IRL who have the same names as our boys and I was trying to ignore that our girl name has been steadily climbing in popularity ever since we chose it.
(Sorry if this isn't the right place for a vent like this. I had a lot of trouble deciding where to put it. Didn't put it in Baby Names because that's a forum for pregnant ladies and I'm not.)
