Is it weird to name my baby the same name as my cousin?

Question

I absolutely love my cousin's name - Eilidh and have done since I was little. Would it be weird to name my baby Eilidh too?
My cousin is in her 40s and we only see her a few times a year.

Answer

Genuinely curious how to pronounce that name

Answer

If you like it you like it but maybe tell her first.  I’ve always loved the name Samantha but it’s my cousins name so I never threw it on the table.

Answer

She Probz feel honoured Ino I would haha

Answer

My brother and my cousin have the same name, they’re 20yrs age gap between them.
My nephew and my cousins son have the same name and only a few months apart.
So to me it’s quite common.

Answer

I have a few cousins I named Jordan and I named my daughter jordyn 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Definitely not! My husband is a drew and our cousin named her baby drew! She asked him if he cared and he didn’t at all!

Answer

I have so many cousins with the same name and my sister and cousins have the same name. I don’t think it’s a big deal
