My dog needs an emotional support dog. Actually wouldn't be surprised if that's a thing.

Wow dude way to miss the crux of the issue. So imagine you're a hormone-riddled, pregnant woman and you spend months choosing the perfect name for your impending baby. Then, your relative who is giving birth weeks before you not only steals that name, but she's a piece of poo poo about it and refuses to take any kind of responsibility whatsoever and acts like if anything, it's the person who thought of the name first who has the issue. If you can't understand why this is a lovely situation and the name stealer is in the wrong, I don't even know what to say except you don't seem to have much experience with women, much less a pregnant one.

I said the op was totally in the wrong just from experience i can't imagine it ever actually being relevant for the kids. I've met my first cousins like once in my life, and it was as an adult visiting grandparents.

A lot of families are closer than that with their cousins, and the OP said they were looking forward to them growing up together and being close.

and would the kids care? I ended up with kind of a common name and had multiple friends in elementary and middleschool with my same name (including spelling!). We thought it was funny. feels like more of a power struggle between the parents than something that would bother second cousins.

I didn't like having the same name as another kid my age because teachers would call us "Tim 1" and "Tim 2" and I hated being 2.

I have two close friends with the same first name and I've never been able to settle on a good naming scheme. Alpha/Beta, good/bad, 1/2, Prime, etc, nothing seems to stick.

We thought it was funny. The lady also said the name was something fairly uncommon. I don't know why she chose to supplement "Janet", maybe she's just an unimaginative person. But if you selected a less common name and someone else just switched some letters around... I dunno. It'd piss me off and I don't even own a uterus.

They aren't second cousins. It's her brother's daughter, that's her niece. It's gonna be her kid, and her sibling's grandkid. She will be the niece's kid's grandaunt. The kids will be cousins once removed, but that just means different generations, which will be completely moot since they'll be the identical age.

She was lovely to her niece and then looked to Reddit for validation then deleted the post when she didn't find it. If niece sticks to her  and these kids may never even meet, thus resolving the issue either way.

Yeah I was wrong, the kids would technically be 1st cousins once removed. Good catch.

She ain't changing her mind. I'm just saying the niece, who wasn't the OP if you read the post, should just keep the name and let the chips fall where they may. I doubt the kids themselves will actually care. Reddit couldn't convince the OP that they were wrong and we can't either, I just don't think the niece should give up the name just cause the OP was a poo poo. From personal experience having a name where I was always "Arb S" in school it really wasn't a big deal and I made friends over it.

I am kinda in this sitch with an uncle and it used to just be Big Dan/Little Dan, but now my cousin has named her kid Dan, and it's just got more comedic, and we call my uncle Dan the Elder and my little second cousin Dan the Younger, and I've taken to calling myself "Dan the Mediocre". There are a lot of finger guns at my family gatherings because I'm pretty sure we're all like 45% Dad-genetics.

Every male in the family until I had children had the same first name or that name was their middle name. I.e., if that name were say Wong, my name is Wong, my father is [firstname] Wong, his brother is Wong and their father is [firstname] Wong. My uncle Wong's wife is Dhinchack, which is easy to remember because by mother's sister is also named Dhinchack and her husband is also named Wong. My mother's father is named Wong and his father was also an Wong, although spelled differently of course. My father's grandfather was another, different spelling of Wong. My male cousin is [firstname] Wong. My uncle's father in law's name is Wong, as is my Aunt's father in law. If you learn anything from my story, its that stealing names is very Wong.
