What is the baby name that you LOVE, but could never use it because a friend or family member named their baby this name??
Has anyone every told you, "we named the baby ****" and you fell in love with the name even if you never thought of naming your baby the same name until that moment...Tell us the name.

I've loved the name Donovan for a boy since I was pregnant with my son. At that time, I decided not to use it because I didn't want him called Don. But, then it started to not matter. Then, I met a friend who's son had this name only he spells it Donavan. Just recently I found out an old friend from Church when I was growing up, his son is also Donovan. So, I probably won't ever use it. Some others that I've loved first, but then met someone with a child with this name or they had a baby since with the name are:

Abby & Abigail
Sophia (though I prefer Sofia)
Ava
Isabelle (I prefer Isabella)
Paityn (girl, I prefer Payton for a boy)
Alex & Alexander (a cousin & a friend's child)
Alexis/Lexi (a friend's child and another young cousin, although I prefer Alexandria)
Tristan
Dawson
Victoria/Tori
Luke & Lucas
Jake & Jacob
Clayton
Mason
Ryan
Shaelynn
Collin (I prefer Colin)
Jackson & Jack
Logan

some names I've loved after I met a child with the name are:

Delaney/Dylanie
Lainie/Lanie
Raina
Dae (actually an adult, but I love this for a middle name!)
Lacey (my cousin)
Larissa (my cousin)
Austin
Braden
Garret (I prefer Garrett)

The name we had chosen had our daughter been a boy was Zachary Isaac....that is now the name of my nephew (first and middle). NOt sure Zachary is still one I totally love, but Isaac definitely is. Guess the fact that my daugther is probably going to be an only will eliminate that from being an issue.

Teagan! I love it. And this little girl is so precious. But I live in a small town and that would not be a nice or accepted thing to do. Plus I need an M name. Jules

Kendra and Braden


Well actually, I had a good friend in high school named Kendra, so it'd be weird for me to use that name. Braden is the name of my best friend's little boy, but I'd definitely consider it if she hadn't used it!
