| My DH and I like a common name (think Grace or Anna). I just realized my dad’s stepsister’s daughter (a teenager) has the same name. We see them maybe once every ten years, but we are friends on social media. Is the name off limits? |

| …huh? Who cares? If it takes you that many words to explain who this woman is to you, just stop being so dramatic. |

| Your dad’s stepsister’s daughter? Is this a joke? |

So they are step-first cousins?
You sound like you don't have much of a relationship. I don't think it matters. |

| I wouldn't name my kid after a cousin unless we were very close. |

| This connection is so remote as to be irrelevant |

| It is not an issue to have the same common name as your step-cousin once removed whom you may see once a decade. |
