IMHO It is really weird when cousins share names, especially with multiple cousins of similar ages share first and last names. But that's what's done in my husband's family so what can you do.

This is actually not weird at all. Many times children are named after a common ancestor, and with a few of the fathers being brothers, they will also share a last name.

I could! DH and I sat down last night and came up with several alternative middle names. (The first name I've really set my heart on using.) I like them ok, just not as much as the original one we were thinking. |
Just use it. Trust yourself that this is your child’s intended name.

Look at the non Jewish world, thousands of kids share the name of the year every year.
Look at Jews naming after ancestors or tenach using the same few names over and over multiple times in each family.
Who made up that names need to be unique? It’s not a thing. Everyone is being ridiculous.

It’s a secular concept. In the mainstream frum world, it’s a non-issue

When I think of "copying" I think of being in preschool when one kid would color her picture using the same colors as another kid and the kid who colored first would accuse the other of copying.
Once you reach adulthood, it's not copying. Does your sil think you would give your child a name to mock her or flatter her? As if you have no other considerations in giving your child a name???

It’s not. It’s normal to have the same names

That’s what I said. It’s a secular concept to NOT want the same names, read what I was responding to. Yiddishe families have tons of same names among cousins
