Am i over reacting??
close [x]
I'm due January 17th, My Boyfriends sister is due jan 24th or something. We found out that we were both pregnant days apart, are due dates are a couple days apart and we are both having girls. and let me add that we dont get along at all. We are naming our daughter Kylei Nicole, and their naming theirs Kaleigh Raenne. We picked our name 1st and it really pisses me off that there names are so close. we already pretty much dont have our own pregnancies, and i seriously feel like were having twins if that makes sence. There was even talk about us having a joined baby shower. I feel like theres nothing unique about this pregnancy because everything is being shared. even their names! so am i over reacting??

The name thing wouldn't bother me. My brother and I had boys 4 months apart; he has an Alan and we have an Alex. It's not a big deal. It would bother me more if it was the exact same name with different spellings.I wouldn't be wild about a shared baby shower either, but if that's what everyone wants to do, I'd just be thankful I'm getting a shower at all.
I was pregnant at the same time as my sister (my first and second kids; her fourth) and honeslty, I loved it. We lived many states apart so we couldn't do anything together in person, but I thought it was fun going through it all with her and having kids so close in age.

yea, i think you're over reacting too. why shouldnt she get to name her child what she wants b/c it kind of sounds like what you want to name your baby? do you honestly think she's using her child's name just to spite you? if you want your own baby shower for your friends ect,then throw a seperate one but for people who are related to you both it just makes a lot of sense to do them together.

I think you are overreacting. Yes the names are similar but it's not like they are both named Kylie but with 2 different spellings or what ever. I don't think the joint baby shower is such a big deal either. Then again, I've always been pregnant at the same time with someone in my family or my husband's family. I think it'd be weird not to share everything. Our children's names aren't similar, but everything else was joint. Then again I get along amazingly well with my family and we are extremely close, so maybe that's why I didn't mind.

That would annoy me that their names were so close but I don't think there is much you can do about it. However there is no way I would want a joint baby shower. I would talk to your boyfriend and let him know how you feel
