Due in a few days and we have a list of names picked out but one is definitely at the top of the list.
Today my OH mentions that he just remembered that his cousins daughter is named that so we can't have it.
I've never met these cousins and have only heard them mentioned once in 3 years!
Would you still go for that name or name her something else?

My family is full of family names. It seems fine to me :)

It really doesn't matter. My child has the same as my cousin who we see regularly. There are other same-names between uncles and nephews/ aunts nieces in my family too. See each other regularly. Not an issue.

My family is full of family names. I think it's fine.

I'd still go for it. That's a really tenuous link. In fact, I've only just noticed since I started typing this that my nephew (my brother's son) has the same name as our cousin's son. It's never been an issue. They've never met.
