Now my ex-husband has gone and used that name for his baby. I suppose he was first-in-time, so he gets to use whatever name he wants, but now I'm annoyed because if I ever use that name it will look as if I am copying him.
Oh well. He seems very happy so I don't want to be petty right now. That's why I'm venting to you and not to him.

If you aren't planning on having kids, it is annoying but I don't see why it is a big deal. And if the situation arises where you do have one, assuming it is the same sex, then you can certainly reserve the right to name them the same thing. I would move past that and be happy for him. It is a happy time.
