[quote=Anonymous]I would feel pretty weird about using the exact name of the child of a really close friend or family member, even if it was a common name, absent a family connection or something. Now, if your best friend's son is named Andrew after his grandfather and you want to honor your son's grandfather, also named Andrew, that is less weird to me. That said, I really loved the name Grace but when DD was born, I worked with a really awful woman named Grace, and the last thing I wanted was for this woman (who was already behaving uncomfortably familiar with me before I even went on leave) to think that we were honoring her with our name choice. DH had similar issues with other girls' names, so we chose something that didn't have negative connotations for either of us.[/quote]
