Does it matter?

[Pandora]

I wouldnt think it would matter? Like you say few people, esp your childs peers, would have any idea.

[LucaJack'sMum]

No, I dont think it maters at all!!!! if you like it... go for it! I think its a great name...

[~Trish~]

It definitely doesn't matter! I know I haven't heard of him LOL!

My DS2's middle name is Heath (it's a family name) and I love it. Edward Heath sounds lovely

[Shalou]

I don't think it matters at all either as long as you and your hubby both love the name you've chosen. I wouldn't have known it was an ex british prime minsters name, so I don't think many other people unless they are from the UK would make the connection either

[AwesomeFoursome]

No, I don't think it matters. If you google a name you will almost always find someone with the name or who had the name.

I agree that it doesn't matter one iota!

And I think any person who knows that Edward Heath was a British PM, is hardly likely to be the kind of person likely to tease your son about it!

Go for it! It's a lovely sounding name.

Well it seems pretty unanimous to me.

Thanks bubbaloo, I hadn't thought of it that way.

There was a Tina Turner ahead of me at the pathologist the other day, much younger than the singer so I am thinking The famous one must have been famous when she was named. She has obviously survived with a very well known name so I figure my son can with an obscure one.
