Baby Name Debate: Would you...?

Question

So here is my dilemma.

My husband and I have had baby girl named picked since before our first daughter was born, so her name was set in stone. Now we are having our second baby and it's still a 50/50 chance here that we could have either gender. Once again we have a girl name picked out but no boy name.

Now we love the name Logan but I have a former close friend and now more acquaintance (we remain friends on Facebook and regularly interact through social media but have not been face to face in years) with a son named Logan. 
I've told my husband this and that we should consider other names because I don't want to step on someone else's toes and "steal" their name.

Would you use the name your son/daughter regardless? I'm just interested in some feedback on why or why not?

Answer

Use the name

Answer

I'd still use it. No name belongs to anyone. Plus isn't like she's your best friend. It's a super cute name

Answer

If you never see this person it's likely your kids won't even meet lol. I'd use the name

Answer

If you like it, then use it.

She doesn't own the name 😂😊

Answer

Use the name Logan; don't be silly. It's not like someone super close to you or your husband used the name. You deserve to really love he name you choose and you've had this name in mind for some time now.

Answer

i'd still use it. if there's no chance of her kid being around yours often or at all.

Answer

I really like the name Logan! But personally I wouldn't use it in your situation.

Answer

If it's a concern of yours, you can always just ask your friend if she minds. But if you aren't close anymore, you may not even need to do that,

Answer

I have stayed away from using the names of anyone's children on my fb. But I think maybe consider your mutual friends? Basically, even if your babies won't ever interact in person, do you know anyone else who would be interacting with both babies? If not, I think it's perfectly fine.
