My cousin gave his baby the exact same name as mine—even though he’s been through this himself
I still can't believe this happened. My cousin gave his baby the exact same first and middle name as my daughter. We share a last name, so it's literally the same exact name. We live in the same area, so I can already imagine how confusing this will be, especially when they start school. They're more than a full year apart, but still...
What makes this even weirder is that my cousin has actually been in this situation, and it's been a source of confusion for our entire lives. When he was born, he had a name (as one does), and then a few years later, our aunt named her kid almost the same thing, just changing one letter. You’d think he’d get why this isn’t ideal. For example, it would be similar to if his name was Brian and my other aunt named her boy Brion.
I don’t even know what to say. It’s not like I own the name, but I would have never expected this. It's too late now, and I know their baby's name isn't about me, but idk I guess I'm here just to vent.
