Rhyming cousins?

[WearingPinkPyjamas]

Dsis has a Holly. Is it allowed to call our dd Polly? Always liked it. But kids have no other cousins as dh is only child so is it weird if their name rhymes with their only cousin? (Holly has other cousins)

I would see no problem at all with it. It's not like taking the same name.

You could ask your sister to think about how she feels and tell you.

I think it's fine.

I don't think it's an issue at all. It's rare their names are going to be said together.

Hmm. I think I'd avoid it. I have a neice called Evie, and although I like Ivy, I'd probably not use it as too close, just seems weird for the grandparents. However, if it was the one name that I really loved I'd probably go for it anyway.

Don't be silly. If you like it go for it.

The chances of these girls being close friends or interacting a lot as adults I probably low or at best uncertain.

I can't stand it when people take decisions like this based on what other people have already done! Other people wouldn't afford you that courtesy - so do what you want.

I know twins called Ronnie and Connie Which I find strange.

But I think for cousins it's ok, I guess you have to weigh up how much you like it. If it's your absolute favourite then I say go for it! If there are others you like equally maybe try to avoid.

3 of DC have rhyming names. Nobody but me ever notices.

I think with cousins its fine.

I think it's fine. I know siblings with rhyming names - now that is not acceptable in my opinion.

I wouldn't but............. if you have a low bar, it's ok. I'd feel for the grandparents talking about their gc, holly and polly

Depends how much you see of each other, I think. We have rhyming cousins - a Fred and Ted type thing - but they live in different countries and are very seldom together.
