[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this happened to me actually twice. I have twins with fairly unique names (they’re in a public high school and there are no others with either of their names in the entire school). When they were around 5, a friend named her baby a name super similar to one twin for the first name, and the other twin’s name for the middle. Think: Miles Holden and my twins were Milo and Holden. Creepy for sure but she wasn’t someone super close.

Then! A few years later, my own sibling named their kid Miles! We have no other siblings and Miles/Milo are not named after anyone, just names we evidently liked. My sibling’s spouse ironically has a name that rhymes with mine and my same middle name. So we are now Lara Beth and Milo and Mara Beth and Miles. (Not our real names). I can’t tell you how absolutely shocked and horrified I was when I initially found out. It’s ridiculous and quite frankly EVERY family member including my sibling has accidentally called my nephew my son’s name repeatedly. I’m mostly over it now but I thought it was so thoughtless at the time that my child meant so little to my sibling that the name wasn’t on the unavailable short list. I gave my twins uncommon names on purpose especially because they are twins and already have to share so many things (birthdays, etc.).  Oh well. It’s obvious to all that my kid came first. [/quote]

You are ridiculous.[/quote]

Thank you for your opinion. I was empathizing with the OP. You were rude, dismissive, and judgmental. [/quote]
