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 had always wanted to name my son- if I had a son- Brenden Chasen. But my SO's cousin named her son Chasen and one of my close friends named her child Brenden and that kind of killed any desire to use either name.
I am going to try and avoid using any name that I hear a lot- as in close friends, co-workers and relatives with kids of the same name.
My cousin is dating a girl with the same name as me and he brought her to Christmas dinner to my grandparents and spending the day being called my full name annoyed me. I don't want my kid to go through that at family functions.

As far as Alivia I don't like the way it looks or sounds. But then again I'm not a fan of Olivia either. Lol.
