I love Harvey but have a Harry.
Would be afraid of a Richard getting shortened to Dick meaning I would have a Tom, Dick and Harry!

What can't you use?

FIL is Harry, but we already have a William.

William is in fact called Billy. Love meaning of Benedict for a boy, but then we'd have Bill and Ben.

Love Betsy... but Billy and Betsy...

I have an Eliza so can't really have any other variation of Elizabeth, even though I seem to love them all (e.g. Elsie, Elsbeth and definitely not Beth).

A friend has Emily and Amelia - which I find quite odd as they must be from the same root.

I love Kit for a boy, but have a Kate...would not sound good in the supermarket

Yeah, Rufus and Ruby sounds a bit like a childrens book!

I would have liked to call ds Rufus but we have a Ruby and I thought that would be a bit much!

I love the name Isabelle and I always have but it is DSDs middle name so that is out. Shame though as we haven't found a girl's name for this bump yet!

Not really a clash but a name I can't use!

Dannie for a girl. Have Danny, a boy.

That would be mental (but I really like the name!).
