AIBU to be over the moon? My DS2 14 is Henry (not real name) Cousin had first much longed for baby this morning and they have named him Henry. Henry is delighted and can't wait for them to be known as Big Henry and Little Henry

There was some nutjob on a thread a while ago who was pissed off her SIL had stolen her baby name - and she wasn't even pregnant yet 😀

On here? Yes people absolutely would. See the thread about the woman who's sister or friend or someone got engaged as a suprise with a ring vaguely like her own and OP was NOT happy. Everyone should have noted the ring and henceforth avoided such a style.

It's cute OP and nice to hear you're not screaming about how your son feels objectified and is it too little to go NC 🤣

You really need to spell shit out these days.

So if you are being lighthearted you need to say 😀(I got it though!!)

She hasn't stolen a name . Ffs I've got three cousins with the same name as me and various other relatives with the same names !

Would it kill people to read the first post?

Honestly it's not like it's an essay and it will prevent you looking like a bit of a muppet.

It always confuses me when people say someone has stolen ‘their’ baby name. You don’t own a trademark over the name! 😂 would you say someone had stolen your shoes if they went and got the same ones from M&S? Would you say someone has stolen your car if they chose the same one? Just use the bloody name!

likepebblesonabeach · 10/05/2024 14:24

Love this.
I have a friend who named her son the same as mine so not the same as a family member.
Not a really common name but not uncommon where we are from.
My son was proper chuffed and as I love the name anyway I thought she had great taste

Mischance · 10/05/2024 14:00

We have the same in our family - my oldest GC has the same name as the youngest - there are 12 years between them so it is very definitely Big and Little! - one is at primary school and the other is a beanpole of a uni student in his final year.

RoseBucket · 10/05/2024 13:59

So sweet! Irish family here lots of recycling of the same names.

Vitriolinsanity · 10/05/2024 13:56

Big Hen, Little Hen (nn Chick)

JimberlyMcJimbleFace · 10/05/2024 13:52

No one has stolen mine...

...yet.

WaltzingWaters · 10/05/2024 13:48

So nice to see a positive look on this issue! Sounds like “Big Henry” will be a wonderful cousin to “Little Henry”.

I'm glad everyone's happy but unless Henry is a family name it's a weird thing for your cousin to do. Her poor kid should have got his own name!

He has his own name. His name is Henry. It's not like big Henry was the first person ever called Henry and they're very unlikely to have the same surname.

ConspiracyTheory · 10/05/2024 13:44

There are more than 482,000 people in the world named Henry.

RitaIncognita · 10/05/2024 13:43

We have a Big [Name] and a Little [Name] in our family too. It has always been lovely, except for the fact that Little [Name] grew up to be 6'5" and Big [Name] is quite a bit shorter, and we still call them Big and Little.

I love it too. Brill 🥳

ZipZapZoom · 10/05/2024 13:39

Oh that's lovely! I bet Little Henry will grow up desperate to be as awesome as Big Henry and I'm sure Big Henry will be bestotted with his small namesake.

Onetiredbeing · 10/05/2024 13:36

Ah precious. It's a good thing, it means that Big Henry is a lovely child that he has made an impression on the parents enough that they would love little Henry to be a bit like BH. I would take that as a huge compliment.

CurlewKate · 10/05/2024 13:34

My DS was named after his grandfather. They were Big Pat and Little Pat.they both loved it.

ForensicFlossy · 10/05/2024 13:33

I love this, it has made me smile

Topseyt123 · 10/05/2024 13:32

It's lovely for both of the Henrys. 😃

Mousielane · 10/05/2024 13:26

So sweet OP. I'd be very flattered if someone used my DC's name for sure.
