Dd is Amalie, cousin is she’s naming her daughter Amelia.
DC are close and see each other regularly.

AIBU to think that’s basically the same name? Im not going to say anything and so will have to get over it but just think it’s really weird.

It’s fine and not even the same name. I had cousins with the actual same name growing up and nobody cared.

We had Big Tom and Little Tom cousins when I were a nipper, we still call them that now, in our 40s and 50s, lol.

You mean you didn't trademark Amelia and all variations of it when you named her?

Rookie mistake

No it isn't the same name. YABU.

They are different names, imo.

It’s a different name. People are so bloody precious.
