[quote=Anonymous]I think this is so weird and I think 65% of the people who are like “get over it” would be pissed if they were in your shoes.

OP, my cousin named his kid the same as mine. I honestly wouldn’t have cared if he acknowledged it before or after but he didn’t at all, it was just “here’s baby Larlo!” with no reference to the fact that there was another larlo right there. For a while I wasn’t sure if he remembered my kid was Larlo at all 😅 I guess if you’re in a big Catholic family where half the girls are Mary, it wouldn’t matter, but we aren’t.

Meanwhile my other cousin named her kid my child’s middle name, and had a whole handwringing conversation with me where she explained how much they love the name but didn’t want me to feel like they were copying, etc etc. I couldn’t have cared less (honestly I regularly forget my kid’s middle name ha!) but I kept feeling like there must be a middle ground between my two cousins where you give someone a heads up but it’s not so fraught.
