My Husband and I picked out the name Caleb. We have been busy making name lists. We already picked the "if its a girl" name. Unfortunately after picking our boy name he talked to a male cousin and found out that his son has the name Caleb.

I don't see this as stealing, and we don't see much of his cousin. He feels like we can't use the name we both loved now.



Would we be wrong to go ahead and use Caleb any way?
