OT: She gave her child my DD's name!

My best friend of 25+ years had a baby and gave her my daughter's name. Granted, we live in different countries, but that is temporary. I am very annoyed. It is a very unusual name, so it is plain silly to have two of the same when we hang out together (every summer). We have a million common friends, so when they mention one of our kids by name, they need to specify which child they are talking about. I know she didn't do it to hurt my feelings. She is not like that. She is so laid-back, not the jealous type, but she was just thoughtless. Just because she wasn't bothered by it, she thought I wouldn't be either. For her defense, she also said something to the effect of "I always wanted a great kid like yours" or something, but I think that was just lip service because she was feeling guilty. But I can't help it. I am annoyed. I know I don't own the name, but why? I think I am upset because her behavior seemed to tell me that she doesn't feel as close to me as i do to her. After all, you wouldn't give your daughter your niece's name, right? It is painful, I really did think we were like sisters.
Please provide me with some perspective. I don't want to be mad at her, and I want to love the baby, too.
