WTF?

So I'm still pissed. At what? At the fact that my daughter will have a cousin with almost her same name. My baby's name is Kendall Christine. She has a cousin on the way in November who will be named Kennedy Crystine. Get this...the parents knew we were naming our baby girl Kendall Christine and they went ahead with it anyway. We also want to call our baby KayCie. Get it? Well these fine folks also want to call her Casey. UGGH! Really?

Thankfully they live all the way in South Jersey and our little girls will hardly be in the same room together. I've known about this for some time and it still irks me. Had it been the other way around I definitely would have changed the name. In a heartbeat.

Why didn't I just change my daughter's name? Because...Greg and I came up with that name the night we found out about her and we've stuck to it as it has stuck to us. Furthermore, my Godson was almost named Kendall and my best friend changed it so that my daughter could keep her name.

Me personally I wouldn't want my child to forever think that his or her name was stolen from someone else. I have a cousin with my middle name and it never posed a problem but still...be original. Is it really that hard? I even Googled my baby's name and found very little hits. Sigh. What can you do?
