"Stealing" a baby name?
Okay so here's the situation.
Husband and I had been trying for 2 1/2 years. When we first started we were driving around and saw a road named Arabella. We LOVED IT. And then and there chose it for whenever we had a girl.
Fast forward to a year ago. A mutual Facebook friend had her first baby and named her Arabella. They call her Bella for the most part. Baby is 11months and she is pregnant again. Now that I'm pregnant I want this name.
How close are we? Well, we both have known her and her family for a long time but we were not close. We saw each other maybe once a year at church events. She lives thousands of miles away but her family do still live in our state. We did attend her open invite wedding but regretted it for unrelated reasons (basically we were complete outsiders and it was very awkward) Like I said, we see them once a year. But combined we do have several mutual friends. We don't contact each other on Facebook besides the occasional like.
Is it stealing? Should I just pass? What would you do?
