Niece 'stealing' my son's name!

[FreddyJohn]

I see similar situations on here a could of times lately and figured I'd post as there doesn't seem to be any that's exact to this and it often borderlines on U or not on these threads so just wondering.

My son is Frederick Jonathan. He goes by Freddie and is 5.

My niece is naming her little boy (due in 3 days) Freddy John.

A lot of our family is still very close and see each other once a month. AIBU to think this is a bit copy cat? No family names either.

I think that your Freddie is 5, is relevant. If your Freddie was an adult uncle/grandparent etc it would be less of an issue. We also have a situation of a same name (different spelling) and the girls born seven months apart and it is a PITA

but in mumsnet this was deemed fine and not at all annoying
