Do you think it's wrong to name your child the same name as a close friend/family member?

I wouldn't say it's "wrong", but I wouldn't do it because it would just be odd. If you're very close to your cousin, then your children will be close and it would just be confusing.

However, I think Abigail Sophia would actually be fine and very pretty :) If you're still against that, Amelia Madeline is adorable. Ignore what your father says.

Some other suggestions:

- Ava Sophie

- Scarlet Amelia

- Ariane Serena

- Selena Alice

- Adeline Sarah

I would not use the same name, because the girls are close in age, If it was a grandmother or aunt you were naming her after it would be sweet but this way does seem odd.

I have a daughter named Madeleine Analisa, pronounced Ahnalisa

so I love that name, I have always loved Abigail as well

I have a daughter Catherine Anne as well , we call her Caty or Caty Anne

I have a Josephine Alexandra,

All my 6 kids have "A" middle names, just a cute thing we did

Im expecting a boy now but if he had been a girl we were going to use the name Lydia Abigail and call her Libby with the Li sound from Lydia and the B sound from Abigail

I thought that was really cute

I also like the name Isabella

You can use any of these names if you like them, You seem like me and love the traditional names too.

Have you thought of the name Emma?? I love that one but could never find an A middle name that went well with it. I love the name Emma Kate, theres a sweet library book by that title. I like the name Anna alot too but 2 of my daughters have a form of that one so I couldnt use it either.I suggest you take all the names you like including the two your cousin picked and put them every concievable way expect in the fashion she used, the original one you liked, Im sure you will find a name you love the sound of by doing tthis. Also dont rule out the idea of two middle names. Lots of folks do that now too.

There is a girl in my daughters class named Elizabeth-Grace, thats her first name, I dont know her middle and a girl from my church is named Anne Marie, and thats just her first , I think her middle is Elizabeth too. Anyway, I hope this helps and good luck to you.

~~~Congratulations~~~

I'm sorry to hear someone used the name you'd carried in your heart. On the plus side, Olivia Grace is a lovely name. If you use the names Sophia and Abigail as written, it could cause a rift with your cousin. Not using them could cause problems with your dad. There is a way. In fact, there are two ways.

Sonja (also spelled Sonia, Sonya) is Greek like Sophia, and it has the same meaning, wisdom.

Gale (also spelled Gail, Gayle, etc.) is part of Abigail and has the same meaning, father in rejoicing.

(or Sonya Gayle or Sonia Gail, etc.)

Sonja Gale sounds stunning, and it goes very well with Olivia Grace.

If that doesn’t appeal to you, there’s an alternative:

Zosia is the Polish form of Sophia. ZO-chah (starts out like Zoey)

~ Zosia Gale ~

That sounds exotic!

My uncle married a woman who had two little girls, whom he adopted. I ended up with a cousin six months older than me who had my exact same name, even the middle name! I love my cousin, but it is confusing.

(I'm partial to Sonja Gale.)

we attempt to a minimum of save the middle names interior the kinfolk pool...Kinda to bypass down historic previous in our very own way. yet we do have a TON of Davids interior the kinfolk and xmas can get confussing..haha
