I wouldn't use the same name as the first name. But that's just me personally. I didn't even name my kids anything that my cousins used either (my DH wanted to use the name "Dane" for Mason and I kept veto'ing it because it's my cousin's son's name). We don't live near any of my family either, but I still wouldn't do it.
