‘My best friend stole my baby name – but she doesn’t know hilarious double meaning’

City: Reddit

So, there’s this woman who’s totally bummed out because her best friend decided to use the same baby name she had picked. The name? Zadie. It’s a cute name, but it turns out it has a funny twist to it that her friend doesn’t even know about.

Choosing baby names can be super tricky. Everyone has their own taste, and it can feel like a ton of pressure, especially with family and friends throwing in their two cents.

This couple had their hearts set on Zadie for their little girl. They thought it was perfect. But then, surprise! Their friend, who’s also pregnant, picked the same name. Talk about a mix-up!

Not wanting to stir the pot, the couple is now thinking about changing the name altogether. They took to Reddit to vent a little, posting under “Help, they stole our name!” They’re feeling stuck and need a new name fast.

The mom-to-be explained that she loved Zadie because it felt classy and unique, but not too out there. Plus, they have to be careful since their last name is a noun, which could lead to some awkward combos.

For instance, they liked the name Iona, but with their last name, it would sound like “I Own A” followed by their last name. Yikes! So, they asked for suggestions, and the comments section blew up with ideas and thoughts on Zadie’s meaning.

One commenter pointed out that Zadie means “grandpa” in Yiddish, which made everyone chuckle. Another person mentioned a girl named Zadie at their kid’s school and found it hilarious that people are naming girls “Grandpa.”

Some folks were all for the name, saying it’s hard to find a name that doesn’t have some weird meaning in another language. Others joked that Zadie sounds like a “Sadie wanting to be spicy.”

Then there were those who felt the name’s cultural significance was important. One person shared that they called their great-grandfather Zadie, and it brought back memories.

But not everyone agreed with the criticism. Someone pointed out that names can mean different things in different cultures, and it’s wild to think you can’t see a name outside your own context.
