My BFF stole my baby name – it was so significant to me for a very important reason & after her reaction we don’t speak

AN UPSET woman shared that her good friend used her ideal baby name without asking for permission.

The anonymous woman explained how she had been planning to use her father's unique name since she was 14.

Explaining the situation on , she said "at about 14 i decided that if/when I had a son I would name him my dad's name."

She said that she shared this information with a close friend who she met when they were both 19.

She later found out that her friend was pregnant when the two were 24.

"I was a supportive friend, went to the baby shower, brought chocolate ice cream at 11pm, made myself available for anything she needed," the anonymous poster explained.

"A week before the baby was due I asked her what her name plans were. she said she had a name in mind but was not telling people yet."

She did not say anything about keeping the name anonymous as she figured many people do this before a baby has been born.

"The next week, her babies birth announcement is on Facebook. you guessed it, she used my dads name."

"My heart stopped when i read the announcement. I knew that she knew i would object to the name, because I wanted it, thus why she didn't tell me at the time."

The anonymous poster said that she did not speak to her friend again.

Although the friend reached out a couple times, she decided to not see her as she could not believe "the audacity of using a name she knew was near and dear to my heart."

The Redditor felt frustrated that her friend "couldn't even get the courage to tell me."

Many users in the thread sided with the poster, saying that she acted accordingly.

"The name has special meaning to you, and she took it without mentioning it in the hopes that you wouldn't kick up a stink once the baby was born," one user said.

"No, you do not 'own' a future potential baby's name. But the fact that the friend deliberately hid this from you meant that she knew it would upset you," they concluded.

The original poster said, "right! had she told me I guess i would have had to accept it."

"But being that she hid the info, it felt extra back stabby."

This comes as a different mother wants to change her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter's name as she may get bullied for the name's other meaning.

And this mom loved the name she picked for her boy until people said it sounded like a pet dog or someone from Mamma Mia.
