“Benjamin was going to be our name for a boy. “My sister didn't know this and I didn't tell her this after she had him either but I did mention it to my mum when she told me he'd been born and the chosen name. “I am now pregnant and it's a boy and there is literally not one other name I can find that I like for boys, never mind one that my DH [darling husband] would also like. DH has one other name he likes but I don't like it. "It's quite unusual and I tend to prefer old-fashioned, traditional names. I have read websites full of lists of names and still there is nothing I can find.”The general consensus was that while nobody actually owns a name, she definitely, 100 per cent should not pick Benjamin.

"Sorry but I think you should find a different name. They’ll be in the same family, similar ages, it’s just unnecessarily confusing."Another person added:
"I really wouldn’t. It’ll be confusing and it will seem like copying even if you thought of it first. You will find another name you both like, there are many."
