First off, I just want to start off by saying that I’m not pregnant yet but my husband and I have already started to think about names we like.

Here’s the story: My husbands cousin and his wife just had a baby boy which already makes me sad enough but to top it off they used the ONE name that my husband and I loved for a boy.. Noah. When I found this out I was so annoyed and a little pissed off. It just feels like a stab to the heart really. Now I know we don’t have any control over which names people can use I get that, but that name was just really special to us and now I feel like we can’t use it. So my question is, do I get over my bitterness and choose a different name, or do we still use the name? Part of me wants to say screw it and not care what other people think but then everyone will accuse us of stealing their name. It’s hard enough for me that she got pregnant first and I had to go to her baby shower.
