relative used our baby name, help!

river · Nov 17th, 2009, 14:40 PM

Yesterday my brother and his wife had a new baby boy, which I am very happy about. However they named him the same name as we were going to use for our baby boy (due in March). We have only ever had one baby boy name (the same one for nine years actually). My brother didn't know, we just have the same taste I guess. Anyway we are now totally stuck as to what to call our baby. We wanted a hispanic name to reflect my husband's latino background, however we live in a country where there are hardly any latino's so it needs to be pronouncable to people who can't speak spanish. Some ideas?

How about Gabriel, Angelo, Rico? They are Hispanic names yet mainstream and easy to pronounce!

When i was preggo with my son i was planning to name him Tyler and then my cousin gave her son the middle name Tyler 3 months before my son was born! It was so upsetting to me! Now my brother's OH is preggo and i'm so worried they will (unknowingly) use one of my fav names! It's nerve wracking! Lol

Good luck... i hope you guys fall in love with another name.

What was the name your brother used???

I made the mistake of telling a girl, who I cannot stand for other reasons and now to include this one, who was pregnant what we were going to name our daughter... Ava Makenzie... She STOLE THE ENTIRE NAME!!! I was PISSED! My husband was too and he said something to her! She giggled! Stupid girl! It still makes me mad! LOL I LOVED the name Ava and now I can't use it!

What a cow to do that to you! I also loved the name Ava but a so called celeb in the UK called Mylenne Class called her daughter Ava and I just can't use it now as Mylenne is such a smug know all, look at me kind of person, especially about motherhood-like she is the only person who has ever had a child. Grrrr I feel for you.

Yeah She is a Cow! A B word too, LOL! I still can't stand her and when I hear someone say her name, I cringe!! LOL

I got the name from Ava Gardner and she totally ruined it!

I'm still mad about it, lol.

The name we had was Ruben, my brother has used for my nephews middle name, spelt 'Reuben'. Would it still be alright to use it as a first name if they have it for a middle name? MommyTammy, I have the name Gabriel on my new list, I liked Rico but my husband is from Puerto Rico, so I don't know if that would be weird. The ones I have come up with in the last 24 hours are;
Sebastian
Alejandro (this was our original middle name)
Nico
Javier or Xavier
I really like Rafael but think it might sound a bit too prissy (not male enough).

Seity · Nov 18th, 2009, 15:23 PM

I would definitely still use it for a first name if it was only used as a middle name. I also love Alejandro and I think Rafael is nice too and definitely manly.

(((hugs))) - hope you find another name soon. GL x

Alejandro, Sebastian and Gabriel are all really great. If there is something that you don't want to use as first name, maybe would work as second name?
