Katherine Olivia vs. Alessandra Sophia

My husband and I love Katherine and Alessandra. We even discussed using the runner up name as the middle name. However, I would like to reserve the runner up name for a potenial second baby girl name. The problem is that an acquaintance has announced her name as Katherine Olivia on Facebook already after going to dinner several times with me and hearing which names I like. She had wanted Peyton and Elizabeth and then all of a sudden she picked Katherine Olivia. Should I go ahead with Katherine Olivia even though I am due after her or respect her name choice even though I feel she got the name from me and she is really the one in the wrong. Katherine is my middle name, my mother’s name, my grandmother’s name and my husband’s grandmother’s name. Pick the name based on this back story. We will call Katherine "Kate" or "Katie" and Alessandra "Ale" or "Aless".

Katherine Olivia is a beautiful name and I hate that this person used the name. Regardless you wanted the name first and I love how your family keeps the name Katherine in the running!

I really like both names but based on the back story I voted for Katherine Olivia. There is nothing wrong with both of your children having the same name. It is not about "getting even" on your part, rather you are simply using the name you were planning to use all along. If this woman was your sister I would feel differently, but even if she is a close friend it should not be a problem.

If Katherine has such meaning to you and your family then I would use it. You had told her your name choices and she should have respected that. I don’t think that there is any problem though of your children having the same name, especially since this person is only an acquaintance and not a close friend. GL
