Coinkydink? I think not

Today, my husband and I ran into his high school girlfriend at the mall. We were catching up and my husband told her that we have a daughter. She asked what our daughter's name, but my husband hesitated and tried to change the subject, so I told her it was Juniper. That was her name. FML

Today, while out with my family, I happened to run into "the one who got away." She smilingly introduced herself to my wife, who definitely noticed that she and our daughter share the same name. FML

Looking good

Today, I was in the bank with my seven year-old daughter, when I saw an old high school friend of mine with his wife. I said hello, and he commented on how beautiful my little girl was. I thanked him, and as I turned away, I heard his wife say, "I guess the father must be the good looking one." FML

Today, I ran into an old high school friend while out with my husband. When she inquired who I was married to, I pointed to my husband, who was looking at shirts. She laughed and said, "No really?", insinuating that I couldn't get anyone that good looking. FML

Today, my ex-husband came to pick up our two kids for his weekend with them. Seeing his new girlfriend was in the car, and desperate for conversation, I asked her name. My kids unhesitatingly blurted out, "Mom". FML

Thanks for the memories

Today, while shopping, I bumped into a guy I knew in high school. He went on about he heard I'd got married, looked like I'd had a baby, and that, "she looks just like you!" The kid was my niece, and my husband broke up with me 2 years ago. Thanks for bringing that up. FML

Judgmental much?

Today, at a supermarket, I ran into a girl I knew in high school. She had two kids with her and they were buying school supplies. My cart was full of beer and snacks. After a chat, she left, not before saying, "I hope things get better for you." I have a job and a girlfriend. FML

Oh, that's a very common name. Probably just a coincidence. I grew up with a class of about 20 and I was the only one NOT named Juniper.

Yeah not gonna lie.. naming your little girl after a past girlfriend.. um.. yeah that is pretty gross if that is why the daughter got that name. I cannot, for the life of me, imagine naming my son after someone I used to sleep with. If the kid is a JR like after their dad, that I get but this? Just eww.

If you originally offered up the name, then he may still feel guilty, but will be fine. If he offered up the name... hmmm .. maybe he just likes the name. I have a few names I always likes and only 1 was the name of an old flame. Depends on motives behind the name more than anything.
