  I don't think so.  I don' think it is too similar and I don't think you should feel like you have to talk to your brother about that name if you really like it.

  I would lean towards using Victor even though it's similar.  But I would think about these things:

  How old is your nephew, Hector?  If the two cousins will be close in age, you may want to avoid it.  It might just be confusing because they sound so similar.  Also, if the other family lives far away and you only see them occasionally, it's probably not a big deal.

  I don't think they're too similar. The strong v sound really sets Victor apart.

  My opinion is that there is no such thing as too similar for cousins.

  For a sibling...maybe, but definitely not a cousin.

  Not at all. My niece is Maya and we're seriously considering Mia. Never gave it a second thought!

  LOL, you fine.  We have so many cousins with the same name in my family, I wouldn't even notice that one.

  Same with my family! I don't think Hector & Victor are too close.
