i only just realised my second cousin, pip, her daughter's name is lucy. and 'pip' and 'lucy' are two of the names i've liked for daughter's names for ages. but pippen instead of philippa. (i'm not sure of the punctuation in that first sentence)

now does that make lucy my third cousin? my second cousin once removed? my fourth cousin? she is the daughter of my mother's cousin's daughter. or the granddaughter of my mother's cousin. or the great great niece of my grandmother. or the great granddaughter of my great aunt. i'll stop now.

i wonder where things like 'great' and 'grand' originated in reference to ancestory.
