they had the same FIRST name. Both the girls go by their first names? Your daughter will most likely think it is pretty cool that her new baby cousin has the same middle name.
My uncle's wife was named Mary Carlisle Moseley and her first cousin was named Mary Harding (don;t know her last name). All their lives they went by their middle names, Harding and Carlisle ..the Mary was their common grandmother and the middle names were from other parts of the family.
btw Claire is the BEST name, (and I should know, I R 1) but I was named for my grandmother. And it is becoming more popular, especially as a middle name, I have notice.
on a lighter note, my mother threatend all of us with a severe afterlife visitation if wa (1) named any of our kids Dorothy or (2) gave any of our kids the same first name. This was because she had enough trouble calling US by our right names; she didn't want grandchildren with the same names. So there went Sarah as a name for our daughter ( I wouldn't have used it anyway, too confusing), but my daughter's middle name was almost Anne, which is my mother's middle name, my sister's middle name and Sarah's middle name. We went with Suzanne instead, it sounded better.
