I've completely fallen in love with the name Emily lately, and I'm starting to consider putting it into my list of names I want to use in the future. I know it is sadly enough on the rise at home in Norway, but I just love it so much.
However, I have a second cousin who's daughter is named Emily. Although I've never actually met this little Emily, and I think it's probably at least 15 years since I last saw my second cousin, they send home-made calenders with the pictures of the kids to my grandma every year so it's not like there's absolutely no contact between the families.

Is it stupid of me to want to use the name when I know it's already "in-use" or is it okay to use it?

WDYT?

Sounds fine to me. Go for it : ) And if you ever meet this little Emily, you can tell her that you loved her name so much that you used it for your own daughter.
