Baby Name Hijacker

From the day that baby-daddy and I started talking about baby names....boy names and girl names, we agreed to keep the baby name a secret until the birth. By doing this, we thought we would skip out on judgements, un-asked-for opinions and suggestions, and baby name hijacking.
It's a boy! Ryker is the name we picked and the only name we had agreed on the day we found out the sex which was the beginning of December. We bought the cute name letters, paint, fabric, and I was going to work on crafty things for our baby (actually the baby's room). I painted and mounted the letters...R-Y-K-E-R. I love it (even if you don't, it's ok). A couple months later, I was texting a friend of mine. She told me she was naming her baby Evan or Parker. (I thought I was safe to tell her our cool name.) I caved and told her we were naming our baby Ryker. Bad idea! Well, she went into labor a couple months early and sent me a picture of her new baby...and our name was hijacked!! I said to her "Funny we have the same name picked for our baby. His name is already hanging on my wall so Im not changing it. Lol Congrats." I was so so sooooo mad. Isn't this in the pregnancy rules? Okay, so I don't 'own' the name but it was clearly stolen! {pout} I was sad because I wanted it to be unique and ours. But I am glad it was cool enough to steal.
