How would you feel if…?

That’s a dick move

happened to my parents. A cousins parents 'stole' my name.
I'd be upset.

Doesn't make sense why a person wouldn't name their baby themselves. Why take a name planned for another child?

Well, I being male could never get pregnant for starters.

But if I was a female and that was the case that you listed, hopefully the middle name would be different, and I hope to God the father's last name is different as well. And I would name my child as I wanted too anyways.

I'd be pissed off. My aunt actually gave her daughter the same name I have. She's 9 years younger but every time someone mentions the name in the broader family they have to specify which of us they mean. So yeah, it'll be a mess.

There's no law two cousins can't have the same name.

But yeah, I'd be pissed. Probably for years.

I’d be annoyed.

I wouldn’t sweat the small petty stuff in life, too many other important things to take a stand on.

That’s a really crappy move. I’d be mighty peeved.

my sister gave her kid my middle name... and he isn't even called Junior!

That's exactly what happened to my cousin in early 1993, she came up with a very unique name for her son while she was pregnant with him, she made the mistake of telling her friends, one who was about a month closer to delivery than her, when her son was born she stole the name my cousin came up with for her son. It cost a friendship going back to kindergarden in the mid 70's.
