Is it OK to give our baby the same name as DH's cousin?
If it was my cousin, it'd be fine as I have 26 first cousins and we're always recycling names in my family, so it's no big deal
But DH's family is small (only 3 cousins) and the cousin in question is only 7 yrs old...not 30 like DH. So even though it's technically the next generation, it doesn't feel like it.
We only see DH's aunt, uncle and cousins 2-3 times a year, which is why I am considering it as a yes - although DH's Mum and sisters see them more frequently..
Do you think DH's aunt and uncle will be unhappy we've 'copied' their DD's name, and will the 7 yr old be annoyed or indifferent?
Opinions/experiences welcome
