At what distance of relationship would you consider using a name for your own children that someone else has used? Would you use a name that a co-worker has named a child, but not a cousin's child? Or a friend's child? Would it depend on how long you have had your mind set on a name?


Also, what do you think of the name Alivia? My co-worker's daughter (1yr) is named this, and I find it interesting.

I would use it, so long as it's not my brother or sister. You can't "steal" a name, none of them are original. You aren't guaranteed to know someone for life, especially friends and coworkers. Your children, however, are pretty much static.
