Like the name Braden but nephew is Brandon.....do you think this is too similar? Or can you recommend something else (preferably similar to Braden but not Brandon)

Brady
Brody
Braison
Bryson
Aidan
Brett
Bram
Jayden

Hmm. I don't think it's too similar-- they both start with "Bra" but the a is pronounced differently in each name. And they both end with d_n, but I don't think they're too similar. The "ay" and "and" stand out in these names, and differentiate them. Although I think Braiden is better than Braden, because Braden makes me want to say "Brad in" instead of "Bray-den").

Braden and Brandon are too similar, even for cousins. I would suggest Brendan, but that's even closer to Brandon than Braden is. :-/ So how about:Bryson
Eamon / Eamonn ("AY-mun")
Adrian
Brandt
Ronan
Redmond
Brett
Bosun (another word for a boatswain)
Byron
Rayner / Rainer
Remy
Galen

Grayson / Greyson

They *do* sound a lot alike, but they are not the same name. Go for it.

It would be too close for brothers, but nor for cousins. My mother's name is Anne and her first cousin is Anna, and they've never had any issues.I like Braden as well. Some similar names: Brennan, Brady, Aiden/ Jayden/ Hayden etc.
