There is only one name that I really love and want to name my new baby. The problem is that my husbands step brother, that by the way, we only see once maybe twice a year and has a different last name has a daughter with this name! My husband and his family keep telling me that I can't choose that name because it will make people mad! I don't think that it is fair. I want to name my baby this name. And it's not to copy anbody, I've loved this name for a long time! What should I do? Is really that terrible to share this name?!

Okay so my cousin named his baby the same name I named my first daughter, actually his daughter name is Skyler Marie and my daughters names are Skyler Jean and Chloe Marie so he used two names that I have used, both of my girls born first but we don't see each other at all hardly and it isn't really that big of a deal, in the end don't let someone else name your baby for you... it's your baby... And who cares anyway it's just a name alot of people share the same name wouldn't it be better if atleast you knew the person you shared the name with... You can't make everyone happy so focus on making yourself happy and don't worry about the rest

I think it's perfectly fine to name your baby the same name! If you feel really bad or uncertain, though, you could give the baby that name with a hypen and then another name or the other way round. I have a friend called Hallie-Nell and her parents wanted to call her Nell but they had an aunt called Nell and so they added Hallie to the front, which I think is a very nice combination.

I say you should go for it and name your baby whatever you want. It's not like the children are likely to be around each other very much and get confused. Maybe you could make sure they have different nicknames. My biggest concern would be that you and your husband agree on a name.

Name the baby what you want it to be named. Why should you have to settle for a name that is 2nd best for you just because someone else has used the one you really want. Go for it!

You are absolutely free to name your child whatever you want to!
If anyone in your family is bothered by that, tell them to get over it!
Life is too short too worry if about things like that. Enjoy your baby, with a name that YOU choose!

You would have to call her by her first and middle or last names every moment, if you don't the other girl will answer too. Bothersome. If you remember that, it will be ok because thet is the only problem.

yes, its terrible to share the name. u may not see your brother in law often, but its pretty close family. find another name.
i have several cousins and friends with names i love, but i would never use it.
