Ever get that 'she stole my name!!!!' feeling?

It hasn’t happened to me, since I think all of the reproductive-age members of our family have dissimilar (though nice) taste. We have ‘marked our territory’ with each other though and told each other which names are reserved. [name_f]My[/name_f] siblings, in-laws and cousins have reserved:

[name_f]Gloria[/name_f]
[name_m]Hayes[/name_m]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_f]Katharine[/name_f]
[name_f]Anya[/name_f]
[name_f]Thais[/name_f]
[name_m]Fernando[/name_m]
Sayeed

So, I feel quite safe to proceed. :slight_smile:

I’m not married and still quite young so children aren’t on the cards for me any time soon but through talking with my close friends, we all have quite different tastes when it comes to names which is very fortunate and all my favourites took them by surprise and usually followed with the statement ‘thats nice but not quite my style’ so I feel my favourites are safe.
