Will I lose a friend for choosing a name?
My SO and I are expecting a baby in August. We’ve been trying for a while and my best friend has been through this journey with me. Well we fell in love with a boy name that both represents a passed relative of mine and one that has not been used in his family yet (he’s one of 11 siblings with 16 grandbabies). It also turns out my best friend-who is not currently trying to have kids- wants the same name (first name only) for her son if she has one some day. She chose the name because of a character in a book. She has talked about using this name since marrying her husband (it fits with their last name too match perfectly with the book character). I don’t want to lose a friend over this. But the name would mean so much to us! And we loveeee it! Opinions?
