Do you have siblings? I do, I have three.
If I were to even think about using a name that they had used, or was close to one they had used, WWII would start. Names are personal, and name stealing is hurtful. They chose that name for their child, its a name they love, and they want it to be unique, at least in their own family.
My brothers have stayed away from Katherine just because they know that I plan on using it, along with Leonard.

Yes, I have two sisters. I do not talk about them (nor the rest of my family, in detail, for that matter) since my family relationships are not as pleasant as I would like them to be, so that is probably why you didn't know I did. :::sigh:::
If I wanted to use the name of one of my two sister's children, then I would, and I'm sorry, but nothing they could say or do would stop me from using the name, and if they planned on using one of the names I like, then let them. The name isn't copyrighted to anyone. It's not that I don't care about how they'd feel if I used the name, but names are free game, and anyone can use them. I have two cousins who have the same name, which both of my Aunt's gave them, and guess what - they were OK with it, because they both loved the names! My Aunts still talk to one another, and my two cousins aren't jealous of one another or anything.
I think that people make this too big of a deal, or perhaps I just can't wrap my brain around this topic, I guess.

Check out my profile for the names of my !'s, ?'s, ~'s, and /'s.
