STOLEN BABY vs. NAME vs. HELP
I have planned on naming my baby girl Laurel for 6 months now, but my brothers wife named her baby Laurel yesterday, She kept saying how the babies name would be Gemma, even the day before the babies birth and all of a sudden she "changed her mind". I’m at a complete lose! I don’t know what to do !Laurel was the only name I really loved and I really can’t name my daughter Laurel since my brother and his wife live right next door to us. Please help, What can I do in this situation??!! - Stephanie

I don’t know what to tell you in that situation. I would name my daughter Laurel anyway. If that’s the name you love then that’s the name you love.
I know that you’ll feel foolish doing that now... but be insistant. They can call their Laurel by her middle name if they don’t like it. You love the name first and as far as I’m concenred, it was your daughter’s name before it was theirs.

O my gosh, i would be FURIOUS!!!!! Your sister in law is WRONG!!!! I am sooo sorry this has happened to you. I would not use Laurel now because even though you had picked out the name you having a Laurel too would put you in the same bracket as your sister in law goes into now. SORRY!!! Maybe you should name your daughter Gemma! I am afraid this is going to become an on going problem that will never end. Maybe you should start by putting your home up for sale !!! Good Luck on finding YOUR perfect name, guess what, now she cant steal this name cause her baby is already born.

I’m so sorry to hear this news. What were you thinking for middle name options? Did you have any other names you liked at all? I hear you on the loving a choice, but maybe we can help get some more ideas flowing from your other options? Maybe there’s a name you somehow overlooked or hadn’t heard and you’ll fall in love and she’ll be totally jealous she didn’t steal this one from you! :)

I have a question. I’ve always heard these stories where people steal family member’s names. I think it’s an absolutely terrible thing to do!!! I was wondering, assuming you had told your family about your name choice already, what did the rest of your family say? I’m sure they knew yall were both pregnant and knew the names you both had chosen. Don’t they think it’s ridiculous too? Didn’t someone tell her that was such a terrible thing to do? I’m just wondering if the rest of the family is outraged too. I would be!

Names are prettier than Laurel. And if this is true, what did your family members say?
