[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How, exactly, does this hurt you, in any way?  I'm genuinely curious.  You are annoyed that she is using one of the two common nicknames for Theodore, which is a perfectly normal name, which happens to be the much more convoluted nickname for your kid, whose name is Thomas.  So there will be two cousins nicknamed Teddy.  And this is so awful, why?[/quote]

+1. OP, you are totally ridiculous. you named you son Thomas and are upset because your SIL will name her son Theodore? you really need to grow up.  you will be surprised how fast your son will outgrow "Teddy" anyway.

my father's first cousin has a daughter named like me (she is younger). my sister has the same name as the cousin (an unusual name to boot) and my brother the same name as the cousin's husband.  our families have been doing Christmas together for almost 40 years, did Easter together for three decades and in August had dinner together to celebrate various family birthdays, in addition to seeing each other during the year (we lived in different towns).  we shared not only but three names and never had any issue or problem. my daughter has the same name as one of the cousin's grandchildren (a common name), and nobody blinked.
