People who "claim" baby names

ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU AREN'T EVEN PREGNANT... This is so stupid.

When I announced our potential baby names I did it for one reason.

A heads up.

I could care less if someone I knew named their kid a completely identical name as the one I liked. I just didn't know how THEY would feel about it and didn't want to look like a copy cat. I truly don't care.

But if you aren't even pregnant, and you are threatening others not to name their kid a name you picked, I think you are childish and immature.

A month ago, you didn't even want children... EVER. Now you're telling me that you "claim" certain names? Screw that.

When I have a baby, the name will be picked based on what my husband and I want. I'm not taking anyone's feelings, current children's names, or "what I might want to name my kid in the future assuming I even want kids next week"  in account.

Sorry. World doesn't revolve around you or the kid you may or may not have years from now.

Baby Names!

I'm releasing these names for a reason. Lots of friends getting pregnant and I want to, I guess "claim" these names. That's not to say one of my friends couldn't name their child this (I think I already have a friend with of one name with an older kid) but I want it known in case someone picks these names that I've had them for a while and didn't steal them from anyone.

*ahem* announcing the names:

Boy's Name:  Jackson Alexander Young
Why Jackson? Because I love the name "Jack". I ALWAYS have. My husband LOVES the name Jack. We are both in love with the name. It's CLASSIC, masculine, and just wonderful. But I didn't want to name him just Jack, so that's why we have decided "Jackson". The middle name of Alexander? Well, that's an easy one ;-)
Girl's name:  Avery Lucille Young
"Avery" is a beautiful name. I wanted my daughter's name to start with an "A" but it was a close call between this and "Emma". I"m a fan of both names, but Avery is just so gosh darn gorgeous! I recently found out that it meant "Ruler of Elves" which is even cooler. :-) "Lucille" is a family name. Both of our great grandmother's share this name!

:-)

So, like I said, anyone can name their baby this, but I want it known (just in case someone that's already pregnant picks these names before I get pregnant) that I will be using these names even if you choose them as well. And I didn't steal them from you. I don't want any trouble, I just want these names! :-) Don't care if you take them or use them. I also don't care if you already thought of them. I'm still naming my son/daughter these no matter what.
