Nope. I wouldn't. I loved the name Joshua for years... But my husband already had a nephew named that. He's even 19-20 years older than my son, but I didn't want the same name as any family members.

I know not one person is going to have that name and no one else in the world. I am just saying I personally wouldn't use a name that a close family already has. I have cousins that are Jrs and a cousin named after my grandfather. I personally don't like it. I would hate to be called little Rachel my whole life. But like I said her child her choice. I do like how someone earlier said Mandi as a nickname for Amanda. Way cuter than little Amanda.
