Ditto for me, too! I''d do exactly what Tgal said and I''d be sure to let everyone know I told her it was my kid to be''s name first. Mature? Probably not. But, I think that''s ok sometimes. Fight a little fire with fire. Honestly, I''d be willing to bet she won''t pick your name in the end.Date: 7/24/2009 11:34:53 AM

Yup me too. Tell her, ''I''m glad you love the name I told you about! Because now BOTH our kids will share the exact same name, isn''t that cool?'' See how she likes that!Date: 7/24/2009 10:51:06 AM

I don''t think you''re being childish at all. That''s seriously RIDICULOUS that she is naming her child all three names! Wow. I am really blown away that someone would do something like that! And they''re YOUR family names!
This is a very good lesson in keeping baby names to yourself, though. But I''m sorry you had to learn it the hard way! I would still name a future son your original name, though. Don''t let her spoil that special name for you. And if she makes any comments about it, I would say something like ''Well since that''s the name I had been planning on for years before I stupidly told you and you stole it, I decided to stick with it.''

I have no idea whether your step sis is clueless, shameless, woefully unimaginative, spiteful, or a scheming gold digger, but I agree that the best approach is to continue with your current dreams and plans for that kiddie-to-be. I wouldn''t talk to her about it, however, in the event she''s looking forward to rubbing your nose in the fact that there''s nothing you can do about it. Just mention it to other family members whenever you get the chance: ''Katty and Bubba have decided to use same names we''re planning to give our son, so one of these days (hopefully) we''ll have two Hunter Lindsey Thomases running around! Won''t that be fun??? Yeah, it seems a dear great grandmother''s uncle on her step-father''s side was also named Lindsey! What are the odds!...'' Your family will have fun with that one, and I''m willing to bet that when the time comes, your son will be the only boy in the family named Hunter Lindsey Thomas!
BTW, I looooove that combination! Would you mind if....

When I saw the thread title, I thought, oh this is what we were talking about in the other thread..and then I clicked in and read and thought, ohh this is NOT what we were talking about! All 3 names?? Gah that is so ridiculous! When you guys have kids, if you still like the name, I echo the others in using it! I like that the 2 middle names honor your family members especially. You could always keep the 2 middle names and do a different first name, as someone else mentioned.
It amazes me how low people go, to upstage family!
Slight threadjack, but a similar one: Shortly after I got pg w/our first, Mom and I were at my aunt''s house, and my aunt fawned over me, and her eldest daughter was jealous-this aunt never had 2 nice words to say to me up until I got pg, and then she was super nice and sweet. I told mom, JD and my grandparents, my cousin is jealous of the attention I''m getting and I guarantee she''ll be pg w/in 6 months. Her first is 3 months younger than ours, so I was close!! And my aunt barely said a nice word to me after her daughter got pg. When London was not quite 1, at a gathering, I asked my cousin if they were having any more kids-she said absolutely not, too much work blah blah. She asked me, I said yes, hopefully soon. However, she didn''t know that later, after talking about it, we decided to wait a while...and then my cousin ended up pg again..and they all expected a big announcement from us..and it didn''t come. And, neener neener, not only did we have the first grandchild, we had the first grandson, so while they''re having kids to try and compete with us, we went about our business and ''won'' their imaginary competitions. Pbbbt.

at first I was going to gell you the no one owns a name..since I thought it was just the same first name...but now I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND why you''re upset..it''s the entire name... and it''s not like it''s a common combination.
She sucks
Hang on. So this stepsister is using all three of the names you picked out that are not only from a family that isn't hers, but from a family that she's been connected to through marriage for only 3 months?!Date: 7/25/2009 5:56:47 AM

This thread made me feel so much betterThank you all..
icekid- My Dad and stepmum have a very weird relationship. She is constantly getting angry at him and they get to the point where they are breaking up, but as soon as he goes to leave she throws herself on the car cryingHe has said he is divorcing her twice and they have only been married 3 months.. so we will see how long I actually have a stepsister for..
