So apparently my 2nd cousin has a son who's middle name is Langston, and
she apparently is all pissed off that we're naming our son Langston.
Really?! Are you kidding me? They don't live near us, we aren't close,
and I didn't even know his middle name was Langston. Apparently they
asked my mom to have me reconsider the name...really?

Re: C/P are you kidding me?!
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
I mean really. This woman is like 34 and had her mom call mine to ask me to change my kids name. Wow.
For real? That's ridiculous. I bet they don't even call him by his middle name unless he's in trouble.
My kid brother shares a first name with our cousin. The world hasn't stopped spinning yet and it's been 21 years. Your 2nd cousin needs to chill the eff out.
Thats absolutely insane! I agree with the other girls. Eff her...you like the name stick with it. She cant claim dibbs on her sons middle name and ask that no one else name their kids that!
And thats a completely immature way to go about doing it.

Wow. What is she...five? I mean, come on.
On a strange note, I could so see the same thing happening in my family. I really like the name Sophie (which I know is really popular). If I ever have a daughter, I'd like to name her that. My step-cousin's daughter's name is Sophie, and I could totally see her asking my aunt to call my mom and ask me to change my mind. And, btw, I've met my step-cousin twice in my life.
As everyone else said, do what you want and don't look back.

This. She sounds crazy.
Exactly. Why would someone in their right mind do such a thing, and the way she went about it is ridiculous.
Ditto. I can't believe she would (a) think she had all rights to the name, (b) consider mentioning it to you and (c) have her mom call your mom about it. Ridiculous.

since the literary genius, Langston Hughes, didn't have that name first or anything. nope, you got it from your 2nd cousin's kid's middle name.
barf.
Exactly. Your second cousin's kid obviously isn't the only person who has ever heard of the name. Stick with your name. She's just crazy.
Ignore them; they are being ridiculous. And good luck with your observation today!
ETA: And sreihing beat me to my next point.

Even better it's his middle name. Apparently I was suppose to ask her for permission first, because she's only had 5 whole months of this "unique" name whatever grow the f up!
