Me and DH have always found it hard to agree on names, he is muslim and I am Christian, we are expecting our third boy and have a list of names we both like (which is amazing for us) but the only problem is one of the names that we both really like is the name of a 4 month old baby brother of a boy in our oldest DS class (there are only 7 of them in the class!...Its a special needs school).
So I am wondering would it be really weird or wrong of us to use that name? I talk to the boys mum a lot and we both attend parent workshops so its not like I can pretend I didn't know her baby's name!
I know it sounds like we are stealing the name but it is actually a name that I liked and suggested for DS2 but DH vetoed it at the time and he is now starting to really like the name!
What would you do in this situation? What would you think/how would you feel if you were the other boys mum?
Thanks in advance!
