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.

It really depends on how close I am to the individual person - you could hasve 2 cousins and be best friends with one and estranged from the other. Same thing with co-workers and classmates and heck, even facebook friends.

PS - I only have 1 cousin, and he's 13 and I'm 26. My brother is gay and anti-child (for himself anyway) and my cousin is still far more into Nintendo DS than girls and probably will be for a while yet, so as far as family goes, I think I have complete and total freedom. Oh, and my friends and I have totally different tastes in names so i highly doubt there'd be any clashing there.
