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

👏

You’re not reading the tone

I've noticed so many people clearly don't bother to read longer ops and just say whatever they think even when it's not relevant. But come on, this post is 4 sentences and people still can't be bothered to read it properly!

Did you just not bother to read the OP or do you have the comprehension skills of a 7 year old?

Ahh that's so lovely! 🥰

Big Henry must be buzzing

Awwww, that's really sweet. So lovely that your son is excited about it.

I had one of my cousin's names on my shortlist for a girl and a different one for a boy. We didn't go with either in the end but I hope we would have had a similar reaction (and I would have discussed it with them first).

I'm part of a big and a little with my niece.

I love it.

We still get called 'big sweet' and 'little sweet'. I'm nearly 50 and she's nearly 30 🤣🤣.

Or to read the post and the room. It's a tongue in cheek thread and OP os thrilled

Omg your Mom stole EVERYONES name?? Chill Type, ops clearly posted a tongue in cheek happy post.

I’m actually wishing I had done this…!

Aw that's nice! My daughter has almost exactly the same name as her cousin (my sister's daughter) and no one minds at all. We copied them as we literally could not think of another name we both liked.

Brilliant!! Big Henry should quite rightly be proud 😁😁

My partner and my nephew have the same name and no one would call them "big" and "little". Cringing just thinking about it tbh. It's like calling him Trevor Junior.

I think little Henry has a friend for life with big Henry! How lovely 😊

Snore.

How refreshing!

You have clearly missed the thousands of threads on here where people kick off over their names being 'stolen'

The OP is having a bit of fun

<groan>

Hope you get sleep tonight

@BirthdayRainbow you obviously didn't read the next comment I made .. which was also less than 50 words

I pressed post instead of what I meant and have corrected myself

Big Henry and Little Henry.

What if Henry the 1st (Big Henry) ends up being 4-6" shorter and much smaller than 'Little Henry?' He will be Little Henry then and it will just cause so much confusion! 😖

Did you even stop to think this through? OMG @catin8oots Wot R U like?!

😆

#Kidding Cute names, Nice thread.

Nice that your son likes it and yes, no one owns a name, but I hated it when someone across the family reused my name so I get where you're coming from. My cousin has used Thomas; I don't want to use it at all now because of that.

Or the words.

Excellent news! I love cheerful stuff ❤

My eldest dc has a family name too, he was "wee jack" until puberty hit, he grew like a weed and he overnight became jack the tank 🤣
