I saw someone I met through Rollercoaster breast feeding stuff, has had another baby since we met. She and her husband were sweetie pies, in their early twenties, lovely wee people. We share a last name.
She told me today her husband was so enamoured of Bodhi, the 'boy with the cool hair' that he decided to name him Bodhi too.
I don't know. It's flattering. And I did get the name from a film... it's not like it's mine.
But some part of me feels a little robbed. I went for names no one else had, you see. I've never met another Olivia or Bodhi, as it were, and now there's another one, same last name and all. I told him, and he was having none of it. 'No! I am Bodhi', he insisted. Yup, I feel a little like that too!
Well, I do and I don't. They're a gorgeous little family, it's nice that we have something shared as well.
My son is a trend setter!
UPDATE: ah, ok, the boys do NOT share a last name, our name's her name, not her husband's... so... slight overreaction above? Axel was unimpressed when I told him, too, though...

You trendsetter, you.
I'm the same, I heard another little guy with a certain beatley name and was really annoyed.. even though this little boy is ten and so technically I am the name robber...
Well, at least they wont be in the same class at school..
thanks for the clarification re: same last names. I thought for sure she was going to get plastic surgery to look like you too!!!
Aw, that's maybe a wee bit harsh!
That's a bit weird alright.
There are some lines you don't cross with names isn't there? I think it's a bloody great name too, but as I 'know' you, we couldn't possibly use it.
Weird.
ah..most people dont get how rude baby name stealing is!!
so never never never show or tell anyone your list of possible kids names...or lie when you get asked and say some names u never would youse...when you named your baby hid ethe list and pass it on to oyu kids when they are old enough for own babies...yes!
I can completely understand that. If you pick a very original name, you do it because you want one that's just yours.
Jo, I would feel exactly the same. My kids' names are as unusual as I meant to name them when I was dreaming about them in my single life. But I have a younger brother named, Rhys. Lovely Welsh name. There weren't many around when we were growing up. No Adens either. Then my cousin had a baby girl and named her "Victoria TeRhys". If that isn't the weirdest thing. My brother was not at all pleased.
