Annoyed at my sister's 'friend' . . .
75 Answers
My sister's best friend's sister (who my sister has socialised with in the past) has just had a baby. She saw my sister and her baby about a month ago and now she's just had her own baby . She has copied the name my sister has given to her daughter (and the middle name too!!!). As you can imagine, my sister is livid and my sister's friend is really embarrassed about it. It's not her fault and she told her sister not to copy the name. Copying the name would have been bad enough but to use the same middle name takes the biscuit.
Anyway, I want to think of something I can say on Facebook which basically says it's out of order, I want a good quote about imitation or just something good I could write.
My sister wants me to do this so it gets back. I know this might sound really silly but I'd be seething too if someone did this to me!!
Thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Why is it out of order? I really can't understand why "my sister is livid" - I;d be flattered. People can (and do) call their children whatever they like - and in future years, your sister probably won't live anywhere near this friend. Many people don't have the initiative to be original so do copycat things - after all, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" ,so it's a tribute to your sister that the other woman likes the baby's names so much.
Don't *** on FB, it's not a pretty sight - and she's done nothing wrong. If your sister wants to do, tell her to do it herself - don't get drawn into it, IMO it really isn't anything to do with you.

I'd suggest one of two things...
Your sister should take it as compliment that she liked her taste in names.
OR
She may have already had those names in mind herself, particularly if they are common names at the moment.
It's just life I'm afraid... there would be a number one popular name if no one copied one another.
One of my friends has copied my hairstyle and colour, my dress sense, lifestyle choices, even is having a tattoo identical to my own and choice of babynames.
It annoys me that she copies me that much, but what can I do?
If I accuse her she'll claim that it was her plan before I even mentioned it.
