 My best friend's little sister is having a baby.  

If it had been a girl, her name was going to be Ava Vivienne.

But the ultrasound revealed that she is having a little boy, Corey Patton Thomas.

Parents: Elizabeth & Cody

We decided on a boy's name (finally!) I've narrowed my girl's list down and now I can't decide which I like best. We find out the sex on August 31st!!

Same names in the family?

I always loved the name James for a boy. My grandfather, one of the most special people in my life was called James and his father was called James also. It's a family tradition the the eldest sons in the family are named James.

However, my mom's cousin (different 'strand' of the family) has a son named James. I see his grandmother quite regularly so I wouldn't want people to see it as copying if I named my future son James or for people to have to make distinctions (like 'Becky's James' or 'Sharon's James.')

I have other 'J' names I like okay (Jack or Joseph or Jackson) but it sounds clunky to have James as the middle name with some of those. I've also thought about an entirely different name althogether like 'Matthew' and then add in James as the middle name.

I just really want to honor my grandfather by calling my first son (if I have a son) James but don't want to see like I'm copying or stolen the name.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation or have any perspective on this?
