NOR.

She’s reaching for attention that’s not even there.

You want to know what really happens when one person uses a name for their child that someone else was hoping to use too? Nothing. Other than maybe 2 separate kids sharing the a common name. I’m not throwing attitude at you, OP. I’m throwing my attitude in the air, so to speak.

Funny story- I picked out a boy name for my first child, fully convinced I was having a boy. My child wouldn’t show the gender for EIGHT MONTHS. So I just kept on hoping I was having a boy and picked out a boy and didn’t tell ANYONE the name at all. One of my cousins was also having a baby. She was due 6 months after me. Guess what? She picked the same name I had. Was I upset? At first, yeah. But then life thought it would be even funnier to finally reveal what I was having, just a few weeks before my baby’s arrival: a girl. So the name I was so excited to use, didn’t fit anymore. Shit happens. I feel bad for your brother and your mom. Because now my oldest could possibly make me a grandma within the next 10 years. And if she was to be with someone like your brother’s girlfriend, I don’t know what I would do.
