So my sil had a baby in april (a girl) and kept names quite until delivery. I am now 24 almost 25 weeks pregnant and my husband and I love the name Mason since we found out we are having a boy. I found out randomly thru my other sil that she had guessed the boy name for my sil and she told me our niece would have been Mason had sil #1 had a boy. So i figured well sil #1 never told names so it is by complete coincidence I name my son Mason... well we had a gender reveal party and shared with everyone that we are expecting a BOY! Through all the excitment they all asked about names which we said we were keeping quite and then my sil decides to tell me right there had she had a boy his name would have been Mason! UGHHHH!! Now she is going to think I purposely stole her name?!? My husband and I have searched and searched for a different name b/c I don`t want drama, but i feel in my heart this is his name....what to do?

nrosselit13@yahoo.com - 319 days ago Thanks for all the support girls! We are definately naming him Mason! I know it seems silly to worry about such a thing, but past conflicts with that side of the family just had me worried b/c it is something THEY would blow up while I find it silly. Thanks again tho! Sometimes just feeling support from others and having others validate what you feel is right makes it easier if there would be a conflict. So thanks again! :)

We figured that since you didn't have a boy and you love the name so much at least you could have a nephew with that name!" And when she says that she might have a boy later, just say, "ohhhh, we didn't think of that" lol

lil.pigz - 322 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) and like someone else said, chances are if she ever had a boy, she would not name him that anyway. We have 5 girls, and we never chose the same boy name for either one when we were waiting to find out gender. Carrying our 1st boy now and we arent using any of the boy names we had our hearts set on with the others,lol.

lil.pigz - 322 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) If she holds a grudge against you and your son because you named him Mason...then she has serious issues,lol.I think if anything she would be flattered that you both like the name. You don't sound like a vindictive person who would name your son just to spite her, surely she can see that:-)

lilmissesmum- - 323 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I think she was just rude to do what she did, at your gender party telling you you cant use the name (because to me thats what is seems she did), plain rude. I would do it any way, if she says something to you then you go well I thought you were telling me the name so I could use it since you had a girl. Whats she going to do you son will be born well before she has one.

ILEXalways - 323 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i think mason gabriel is a nice name :) just because she likes the name does not mean she owns it.

tto - 323 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Keep Mason and tell her what a coincidence it was that you both like Mason. Who cares what she thinks. You don't owe her anything.

skydivedoc - 323 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I'd spend my time coming up with a middle name that you'd love to put after Mason. :)

2babiesforme - 323 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I'm sure she will be happy your using it :) your prob making more of this then it is! Fact is they didn't have a boy and you are so mason it is! Simple :)

hannahe - 323 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) use it, like bcalove said, mason is a common name, she didnt make it up. plus by the time she does have a boy (if and when) she probably wouldnt want to use it anyways

overjoyedmommy2 - 323 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) if you & your husband love the name Mason name him that your having a boy now she may never have a boy & you would have compromised for what if's.

bcalove82 - 323 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Seriously...she can just get over it. My twin is naming her girl my would be second daughter's name and point blank told me she stole it. Oh well. I may never have another girl. I might be a boy baby maker forever from now on. I don't know. Saving a name for a maybe never kid is kind of silly imo Plus, Mason is fairly common and it's not like she created it. My neighbor is naming her son Mason. No big.

FarisMama - 323 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Name him Mason.. YOU are the one having the boy not anyone else. If u honestly feel your baby is a Mason then do not change it! I was discussing baby names with my cousin and picked one of her names she picked out to name her potential son (without knowing of course). She was a lil bummed but she also knows she does not own the name and may not ever have a boy so she was fine with it. I say go for it!!
