Agree, same here.

Was this last year, or 20 years ago?

If you’re hesitating, it makes it sound like the wound is still raw, which is a whole other issue. I’d use the name if you both love it.

And now you and your husband are having a little girl, and you love the name Astra, but you are thinking you can't name your daughter Astra?

FFS, OP. That's ridiculous.

I think it's more like while she dated John Astra interfered in the relationship and eventually caused the breakup

Well then Astra is partly responsible for OP and her DH getting together. A blessing in disguise.

OP here, that's a beautiful way to put it actually.

The other PP before that, it was 8 years ago, we were close friends for 5 years before dating for 1.

You seem hung up on your ex. Move on.

HA ha! She’s married and having a baby with someone else. How much “moved on” could she be?!

Such a typical parroted DCUM response but your use was so absurd it did make me laugh out loud. So thanks for the giggle.

Yep, the horrid employer, the mean girl in high school, the bully in third grade... off the table without debate.

However, that good-name woman didn’t break you up - your exboyfriend did. Use the name of you like it. She did nothing to you. Think about it.

This is simple. If you love the name, use it.

The ex seems to be living rent free in the head, no?

All ugly

All names terrible. Please move on and choose something else.

Ex will be thrilled when she finds out her ex named his child after her. That’s what she will think. Do you want to give her that?

“Living rent free in your head”?! Dear God, stop the parroting! Next you’re going to write about “boundaries” or how when “you point your finger at someone, you have three pointing back at you”.


OP is asking about naming a baby the same name as someone she feels hurt her.

To OP: if you truly weren’t over the past relationship, you wouldn’t consider the name.

Nope! Weird. There are a million other names to choose from.
