Cousin stole my baby's name

[catin8oots]

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

No one owns a name.

If "Henry" is cool with it then what's the issue?

That's so cute.
Big Henry sounds like he's gonna be a fab big cousin!

Sorry ignore my comment I read it completely wrong, sleep deprived!

It's very cute

Did you read my OP?

Oh sleep deprivation is a killer. Good luck to Little Henry's new parents 😜

I LOVE this!!! 💖💖💖

So happy the little man is joining such an awesome family.

Weird to start an AIBU when nothing U has happened 🤷‍♀️

Such a lovely post, good work OP. Henry is a fantastic name.

Agree.

DH and I both have family members with the same name and know who is being referred to easily.

We have lots of Bigs* *and Littles on my Mum'side of the family usually uncles and nephews, but also cousins and one dad and son which they now regret. My son was named after my grandad and I was named after my Nana as was another cousin and a second cousin.

There's a twist I didn't expect! Hurrah for your happy family 🤗

Lovely. I have a Little cousin - we have different official names but both go by the same shortening. I like the connection!

Love this...big harry and little Harry ..great bonding for that. Great idea of your sister.

OK, your post really confused me for a minute. I couldn't work out if you didn't know what over the moon actually meant, or if you mean to say you weren't over the moon. The title knocked me off from the start.

Sorry for the confusion. Just wanted a positive name post for once about shared/'stolen' names as so often seen on here!

That's so sweet!

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

It's lovely for both of the Henrys. 😃

I love this, it has made me smile

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

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.

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.

I love it too. Brill 🥳

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!

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.
