[quote=Anonymous]No name is off limits and if you love the name go for it! I do think it’s probably best to avoid naming your kid the same name as a close family member’s kid, or a close friend’s kid, or your current pet. when I say “close” family member I mean any family member—sibling/cousin, etc—who is close to your age/has kids close to your kids’ ages and with whom you are close enough to see/talk to multiple times per year...if it’s for example a half sibling who is say 20 years older than you and whose kids are teens already or a cousin you never see/interact w or something I think using the same name is actually still fine! I know of families like this where adult siblings and cousins are very spread apart in age and geographically and use the same names for their kids. In fact in my own family there are 2 male first cousins (so siblings’ kids) w the same name. They even grew up seeing each other often and are close in age and it still wasn’t a big deal. [/quote]
