I'm not really sure I would care. I think its kind of mean to make your grownup partner go by another name. Children, usually, already have affectionate nicknames. So if your spouse and your child share a name, then I would call the child something else. Or, I would look directly at the Heather that I was speaking to. If I'm talking about her, I'll say My Daughter Heather.

If you have an Aunt Heather, then you call her Aunt Heather. A cousin? Then you call her Cuz or Cousin Heather. It doesn't seem that complicated to me, especially if you consider the fact that MANY children are named after a parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, so on and so forth. Families have managed this for years. Nothing new really. But its definitely a good question. If you're serious about somebody, then you shouldn't really care. Some people are more anal about it.
