Close to Relative Name

[Purple Penguin]

I love the name, wouldn't worry about it being similar.

[Maruschke]

Love it. Go for it.

I was also leaning towards it being fine but was worried that was because I really want to use the name! I'm glad others think it isn't too odd to consider. They will only really see eachother once a year at most so I can't imagine it causing too much trouble. My mum and her sister (my aunty) discuss their respective grandchildren but as someone mentioned, they can just call her Bree if it ever gets too confusing.

I also think it suits DD1s name (Imogen) really well, I'm glad other people agree I found this name early on but had dismissed it because of the similarity although it was always in the back of my mind so I only decided to bring it up with DP yesterday and he also loves it... I'm 40w 1d and this is the first name I've felt completely sure of (DP has had a few others he has liked and although they are nice, they just never felt completely right to me) so going back to the drawing board would be a bit disheartening!!

While I am here... anyone have thoughts on a middle name? Imogen's is Jade. Last name starts with B and is one syllable.

I think it's fine. My DS is Hayden & I have cousins with a Jaidyn & an Aidan. At the time I didn't see either of them often (maybe once a year). Since then, the Aidan has moved closer & we see them almost every week but it's not an issue. Also my DD is Emily & another cousin named her DD Emily last month. I have seen her once in about 15 years (and that was over 2 years ago) so definately not an issue. I didn't mind at all. When I named DD, my mum told me that my cousin had said she wanted to name her baby that if it was a girl & I told her I wouldn't be mad at all if anything it's a compliment because she likes the name. I would say that would have got back to her via the family grapevine.

I love the NN Bree. Cute It definately goes with DD1's name.
