Rowan too close to Bowen?

Question

So basically our niece (my partner’s twin brother’s daughter) who we’re extremely close to has a cousin on her mum’s side called Rowan, who she’s very close to. 
I absolutely love the name Bowen (nn. Bowie) for if/when we have a baby boy because they will be our rainbow baby! 
Would it be strange for her to have cousins with rhyming names even if they’re on different sides of the family? Am I overthinking this?🤣

Answer

How did so many people say no to this?! It would be your child’s cousin’s cousin, who cares! They would likely never meet.

Answer

Name your kid whatever you want!

Answer

I don’t think it’s a big deal at all! Now if your niece was Rowan and you wanted Bowen it may be a little confusing but I think it’s totally fine for her to have cousins on different sides of the family with rhyming names!

Answer

They are similar but if you’ll call him Bowie it’s fine.
My sister had a baby at the same time as her SIL’s and the three babies are Lilly, Billy and Lola (lolly)! No one even realized

Answer

I have a cousin Jake and a cousin Drake, their moms are sisters. Personally, I don’t think it’s weird 🤷🏻‍♀️
Maybe ask them if you feel like it would be an issue.

Answer

I clicked no before reading the description. I assumed it was sibling names. I assume other people did the same. In your situation I think it would be perfectly fine to name your son Bowen.

Answer

Cousins of cousins don’t count. Btw I love the name Bowen lol!

Answer

My husband’s cousin has a daughter named Norah and we named our daughter Cora. The girls will definitely grow up together as we see his extended family several times a year but it’s fine! If you love Rowan go for it!

Answer

I clicked the wrong one. Go for it!!

Answer

My nephew is name me Brayson and his cousins name is Grayson 😂 
I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
