When I hear Asher I am hopeful that we will have another son and I'll be able to use the name some day.

It my maiden name and I love it. Maybe one of my sisters will get to use it YouGotMe on "Do you get sad when you hear a name you wanted to use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-sad-when-you-hear-a-name-you-wanted-to-use#post-2414695 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 06:26:23 +0000 YouGotMe 2414695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm secretly hoping that someone will use our top boy name so I "can't" but I sadly don't think it will happen.

I would love to use it for DD2 but.... still vetoed. If anyone I knew used it, I might be sad. littleblessings on "Do you get sad when you hear a name you wanted to use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-sad-when-you-hear-a-name-you-wanted-to-use#post-2414671 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 03:27:54 +0000 littleblessings 2414671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I had Nova and Aurora on my list. My friend named her dog Aurora and my Aunt named her cat Nova after I told her it was on my list. It frustrates me a little about my Aunts cat but whatever. wrkbrk on "Do you get sad when you hear a name you wanted to use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-sad-when-you-hear-a-name-you-wanted-to-use#post-2414636 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 23:51:36 +0000 wrkbrk 2414636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @ModernDayJibarita: Same. 90% one and done and we had a great girls' name!!

I'm glad to see someone else use it if it's a name I like that just didn't work (too close to another LO, doesn't go with our last name, etc). sera_87 on "Do you get sad when you hear a name you wanted to use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-sad-when-you-hear-a-name-you-wanted-to-use#post-2414605 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 23:02:51 +0000 sera_87 2414605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I get sad when I think of how I might never be able to use my girl name.

Like I love the name but it was never even an option. Names that we just didn't go with not as much because we actively chose not to use them.

I hear a mom call her little boy by our boy name the other day at the store. It helped that he was adorable and well behaved! We are not done having kids, so it just brightened my day.

We got a kitten and named him our top choice boy name so we sorta got to use it :silly: bloved on "Do you get sad when you hear a name you wanted to use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-sad-when-you-hear-a-name-you-wanted-to-use#post-2414464 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 20:13:27 +0000 bloved 2414464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes definitely. My husband and I wanted to use the name grace. We are done after this pregnancy and I am a little sad that we will never have our Gracie. catgirl on "Do you get sad when you hear a name you wanted to use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-sad-when-you-hear-a-name-you-wanted-to-use#post-2414458 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 20:09:58 +0000 catgirl 2414458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Kind of. DH and I were never going to completely agree on a name so at the end I caved and gave up my first choice for his. We are not sure if we will have a second but even if we do and it's another girl I'm not sure I could ever convince him to use it. It's the name I always imagined using so I do get a little sad when I hear it.

But, we had a front runner name for the whole pregnancy and switched towards the end, so I get a tiny bit wistful or something when I hear other babies with it.

I'm not sad about her using it (we haven't even really told many people about the name) but more sad because I know we are done having kids and will never get to use it. Have you ever felt bummed about a name someone else has used?
