Hi
Me and my hubby been trying for a baby for a while now , and we were talking names but this morning on way to work he said we can’t use his dads name as his sister has used it and she said no it could be a shorter version of it .
As a family there is no love lost between us but this has really annoyed me .
The name has always been my choice for a boy even before I met my hubby and I’m angry that she thinks she can dictate to me what I the baby .

My family have loads of people with the same name/middle names. It’s never bothered anyone. There’s 2 David’s and a Maria, Marie and a Marina all born within 5 years of eachother. Just go for th name you love

Use Jamie. Or does the existing James get that too?

For what it's worth, I always thought I would want to name my DS after my late father. When I was pregnant however, I realised that I wanted him to have his 'own' name so we used my dad's name as a middle name and I'm so glad we did. He looks like my dad and I think him having the same first name would feel weird.
