Everything makes sense when you see your new baby for the first time. Whether you chose their name before they were born or let your emotions decide for you in the moment, that's your prerogative. All I know for sure is that most parents don't play when it comes to baby names. Many new moms and dads want their child to be unique in their own way, name included, and having a cool, low-key name to start their living experience seems pretty rad. My opinion (that you didn't ask for)? It's not that big of a deal…

In this next story, two best friends start the idea of calling 'dibs' on certain names they might use for their future children. One of them, however, refuses to share this dibs name, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of that structure. Being that this friend has taken an oath of silence regarding this particular name, the woman who posted the story couldn't stay away from the name, and the thing they tried to avoid happened. Yep, the woman chose her best friend's dibs name. Now, her friend wants her to change the name, even though the same friend isn't even pregnant… and the other woman is eight months into her pregnancy. Scroll below to read the full story.
