Family name controversy?? Or totally ok??

Ur baby, ur choice. U and ur husband should go with whatever name u both love, don't be swayed by others opinions and then regret not using ur choice.
Everyone hated the name I picked for my son, so much so I just floated it around and kept trying to find something else I liked as much. I didn't find another name i loved and I ended up going with my fave name and I am so glad I did. Everyone else has come around/got used to it, tbh once he was born and I said this is his name, no one really commented anything negative, like they had when I was pregnant, it just is what it is.

Someone in your family might be offended or upset about your choices, but it's your baby. You can name your children whatever you and your husband like.

I would just have an open discussion with your family members and see their thoughts!

I would say just talk to your family so they can see where you’re coming from but do what YOU want to do! I just had this issue with not giving my son our family last name and honestly, it’s your baby, your choice! I understand the value to the family name but it’s what will make you and your partner happy!

You should name your girl Josephine Amelia

Don’t ask us, ask them if they will be mad or not. At the end of the day it’s up to you but your choice might be easier if you know how they feel

I am too picking names, and I try to put my feet in my kids shoes. Will they experience any issues from having the same name as the cousin? Will it cause any unwanted competition, etc? You know your family better than anyone. I hope you are able to find the answer that works best for you

I think it's weird to match the names so much in the family unless it was like your husband's name or yours passed down. But if that's how your family is and it doesn't offend them do whatever you love

I love the family tradition of continuing the Joseph name, and I second the idea of Josephine Amelia if it is a girl 😊
