Hello!  I’ve decided to answer some of our reader questions on video! Today’s topic is baby name sniping: when you’ve planned to use a baby name and someone close to you decides to use it first! This is particularly frustrating if you’ve chosen a unique name.  Have you experienced name sniping?  What do you think about the subject? Comment me on YouTube or drop me a line. ~ Jennifer.
