All other names are fair play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-names-3#post-1287719 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 21:23:36 +0000 lemondrop 1287719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Co-workers come and go, they would be the least of my concerns of using the same names. Every child is different and unique, same/similar names or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-names-3#post-1287703 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 21:16:46 +0000 Springtime 1287703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't feel like you can't use it still! I can relate though, we have a few names we like for our DD and it seems like they are coming up everywhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-names-3#post-1287691 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 21:13:33 +0000 FaithFertility 1287691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I HAVE NO IDEA WHY MY PHONE IS DOING ALL CAPS :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-names-3#post-1287690 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 21:13:08 +0000 FaithFertility 1287690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've thought about it, but our boy name is going to be after DH SO NO WORRYING THERE, BUT OUR GIRL NAME SEEMS TO BE COMING UP MORE AND MORE, BUT WHEN THE DAY COMES AND WE ARE BLESSED WITH A CHILD IT WILL BE OUR KIDDOS AND THE NAME WILL COME! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-names-3#post-1287639 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 20:50:06 +0000 MrsTal 1287639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: @LindsayInNY:.@Vegmama: I know I shouldn't care but there is part of me that does, I think it's because I have a super common name and the names we like/picked aren't common because I hated being 1 of 5.</p> <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I know names can be used more than once I just had this idea in my head that my kid wouldn't know anyone close with the same name. But I guess co workers aren't close necessarily.</p> <p>@Sapphiresun: I know I probably won't be around my coworkers forever but I probably will be until I get pregnant. I shouldn't worry about it but I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-names-3#post-1287629 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 20:46:19 +0000 pui 1287629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really worry about it... We've picked some pretty obscure names that I don't think they are the style of my relatives who are having kids... But I would be very upset if one of them somehow chose my boy name... </p> <p>I agree with PPs, I don't think coworkers count. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-names-3#post-1287587 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 20:19:24 +0000 Sapphiresun 1287587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really worry about it because unless it was like, a sibling of one of ours, I would totally still use a name. Coworkers will come and go and often don't travel in your social circle so that was no big deal. </p> <p>That said, I was perfectly happy when people named their children names I disliked in the three years it took us to actually have our team green baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-names-3#post-1287567 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 20:08:42 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1287567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why do you feel like you can't use the name? Names can be used more than once..</p> <p>Our daughter shares the same name with my brothers best friends dog. It doesn't bother me at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-names-3#post-1287536 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 19:40:34 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1287536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use to worry about this a lot. I've decided to not to worry anymore and use the names we love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-names-3#post-1287526 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 19:34:32 +0000 Vegmama 1287526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're 9 months pregnant now, and team green. My partner's cousin just had twins &amp; named their baby something REALLY close to our boy name ... I was really sad. But, at the end of the day, we decided that we'd still go with it. We already connected with the name, and that's what mattered to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-names-3#post-1287495 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 19:17:04 +0000 LindsayInNY 1287495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto what @Crystal: said! Don't eliminate the names because of that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-names-3#post-1287489 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 19:09:54 +0000 Crystal 1287489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTal: Don't feel like you can't use it! Who cares if they used them? That just goes to show how awesome the names you like are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-names-3#post-1287488 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 19:09:10 +0000 MrsTal 1287488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone worry about their favorite baby names being used by friends/co-workers/family? I'm starting to freak out because two of our favorite boys names are being used by co-workers. It sucks because we've had these picked out since we started trying but obviously haven't had a baby yet. I know there are no dibs on names but it just makes me sad because I feel like we can't use these names anymore. </p>
