Choosing your childs name is a VERY difficult decision. They'll have it for the rest of their lives, you'll have to say their name forever and for some people they decide quickly and easy but for others it can take a bit of time.

Some people don't mind if there child has the same name as someone else they know. Kristina Rihanoff admitted she copied her best friend's child's name when she named her daughter Mila. However, other people aren't keen on the idea.
