Baby name dispute! Please help!?

ok...so my hubby and i had pretty much decided that we were going to name our daughter Brianna Nicole(Nicole is my first name and we wanted to tie our names into our child boy his name as a middle, girl my name as a middle,)anyway there is a girl that just started to work with me about 3 weeks ago and she is really nice and we get along good...but she has a a baby that she just had a few months ago and named her daughter Brianna Nicole......So now i dont want to use it!...I dont want the same name for my daughter that someone i work with has named thier daughter so close in age to mine....Am i wrong for not wanting to use this name anymore?





My hubby thinks i am over-reacting but i dont think i am....ever since she told me that was her daughters name i have just not wanted to use it.....Just kinda killed it for me! ya know!





But i have a list of other names and he wont pick anything else besides Brianna Nicole.....

Baby name dispute! Please help!?
I don't blame you, it would kind of upset me too. Did she know you were planning on naming your daughter this before she named hers such? If your heart is set on Brianna Nicole, name her that, its a beautiful name. Otherwise... try Brianna Noelle, or Brianna Michelle (both are adorable) ... What about the name Brinn Nicole? Or possibly: Madison Nicole; Skylar Nicole [sounds very pretty], Kaylee Jayde [I was going to name my daughter this] ... or even Kaylee Lynn? Good Luck! Like I said, if you love Brianna Nicole -- name her that! It's your daughter, name her what you want =] Congrats Mommy.To.Be!
Reply:Brianna is a beautiful name. I think you should just keep it. One day you won't work with this girl anymore. Chances are the girls won't be friends.





Brianna Nicole is a beautiful choice.


KEEP IT, KEEP IT, KEEP IT!!!!





I just had a thought while cleaning...how about Briella or Brielle Nicole.
Reply:I don't blame you, I'm the same way...If we're having a boy, I'm REALLY stuck for names! Lol, all my fav's are taken by someone we closely know :(





I think Arianna Nicole is pretty..I didn't see that on your list, but it's a suggestion...
Reply:I would have the exact same reaction as you..........!





Of your list I like


Alyssa Nicole


Kennedy Nicole %26amp;

Brooklyn Nicole
Reply:I wouldn't want to use the exact same name either. Out of your list I like Alyssa and Brielle. Do you like the name Brenna? Its kind of like Brianna with being the same. Brenna Nicole would be cute too.

Reply:Brooke Skyler is my fav! I also like Chloe Madison!
Reply:I would use it anyways.
Reply:Well regardless of if your husband or anyone else in the world thinks you overreacted, it doesnt matter. You cant change the way you feel and if you dont like the name anymore than you certainly should not name her that. You will have to start over and come to a new agreement. If his only reason to not pick any of the other names is because he thinks you overreacted than he needs to get over that. If he truly does not like any of the other names then you will have to keep looking till you find something to agree on...
Reply:I couldnt use it either!





I dont intend to share my name choices with any of my 6 pregnant friends/colleagues just in case they happen to really like them! We're trying for a baby at the moment so they'd defo beat me to using the names.





I dont mind sharing them with strangers on here though lol





I LOVE skylar. Skylar Nicole would be gorgeous. Wouldnt matter about the same middle as your friends daughter with it also being named after yourself.





Men dont understand these things... show him all the answers you've got and he might see things a bit more from a female point of view!
Reply:Oh, I totally agree with you about not wanting to use that name anymore. I was set up to name my daughter Abigail when my cousin had a baby a couple months before me and named hers that. As mothers we want our children to stand apart from everyone else and be special, so naturally we don't want to give them a name someone else already has. I think Brianna Nicole is a pretty name, and it sucks that your co-worker decided to name her daughter that when you had already decided on it for your daughter. Brianna and has many variations, and maybe you could try one of those. My daughter is Aubreanna (normally Aubriana or Aubrianna). I know how hard it is to think of something completely new when you were settled on another name. Maybe your husband will be more willing to agree on a variation of Brianna rather than a totally new name. Here are some suggestions:





Brionna


Breeann (Breann)


Bria


Brie


Brienne


Brionne


Breauna


Breawna





Or, if you like the 'anna' part the best, you can try:


Kiana


Leanna


Luana


Audriana





I really hope this helped you. Good luck.
Reply:You and your husband chose Her name before your new coworker came along and your daughter will have her name long after you stop working together. i would keep the name you chose. Any name you choose there will be someone out there with that same name.


I love the first name so much I named my baby girl Breanna. her middle name is a little more unique, it is Nevaeh (Heaven spelled backwards) I also like the idea of putting your name in there. My oldest daughter, Regginette's middle name is Christine (my first name).


My middle Daughter is named after my mother in law and her middle name is my mother, grandmother and my own middle name Sarah Marie


We also have three boys, Rory, Michael and David
Reply:I think that he following are adorable:


Kiersten Nicole


Audrina Nicole


Addison Nicole


Chloe Nicole


Alyssa Nicole


Kennedy Nicole


Gabriella Nicole





I understand you completely! you don't want your daughter to have the exact same name as someone else you know.


On the other hand, who knows if you'll even keep touch with this woman or her daughter. if you truly love the name, then use it anyhow, but if you're over it now, then change it to Gabriella Nicole or Chloe Nicole or Alyssa Nicole--- all of which are gorgeous.





Also, consider Arianna Nicole--- almost the same except for an A instead of a B.
Reply:No you're not over-reacting to it, I was the same way.. It took forever to finalize names (we also tied our names into our children's as well) each time we picked one, someone would pop up out of nowhere with the same thing, or pretty close to it. Take an evening, order some food, veg out on the floor w/ your husband and go back through the baby name books for the millionth time, make a game of it and see what else you can come up with - so both of you can agree on it!


Of your list, I'd go with Addison Nicole - call her Addi!!!


Good Luck!
