Cousins can be as close as siblings. There’s even a National Cousins Day to celebrate this special family bond on July 24 each year![1]
Some unexpected celebrity pairs are cousins, too, including musicians Brandy and Snoop Dogg, actresses Jenny McCarthy and Melissa McCarthy, actors Tom Cruise and William Mapother, and the many Coppola cousins (including Sofia Coppola, Nicholas Cage, and Jason Schwartzman).[2]
If you’re putting together a game night, group chat, or another get-together for your cousins, we have the list of more than 180 group names that can work for you.

How to Create a Good Cousin Group Name
When creating a group name for cousins, the obvious choice is to use the word “cousin” or “cousins,” along with a few descriptive words that capture the fun and closeness of your relationship.
However, you can also go for something a bit more vague, like a reference to family or friends. Are your cousins more like your sisters, or are they casual acquaintances? Be sure the name you choose appropriately reflects your connection.
A couple of other factors will help you decide the best name for your cousin group.
Does everyone have the same sense of humor? If you’re all very sarcastic, you can choose a slightly-offensive or snarky name.
Do you live in the same state, city, or country? You might consider adding a geographic element to the group name.
The best way to go about finding the perfect name will be to get input from everyone in the group, so share your favorites from our list or ask your cousins to come up with ideas and then take a vote!
