Names after famous people/singers/musicians?

[Papillon]

Yep...

*sighs* lol

We named our son after a very well known V8 Super car driver ....

Now, it suits him to a T, everywhere we go we get such good response and people love it. But 80% of the time, people know where it has come from, which frustrates me BUT my Mr loves....

It was my own fault as to how it happened... lol

But honestly, i do love it and we havent had anything bad of it yet. It is different, strong and suits him!

I have already decided if our next is a girl one of her middle names will be 'Dixie' after the Dixie Chicks as i just LOVE them! lol

As for your names... i love them all... and they have meaning for you guys and thats all that matters! Jade Devin is gorgeous AND, (i am obsessed with this) you can call her J.D for shirt

[Lisa]

Yep... my eldest DS was named after Jimi Hendrix & Eddie Vedder

[smiles4u]

I know someone whom named her twin girl's Ava & Sofia ... after actress Ava Gardner & Sofia Loren

My DD has a friend who is named Ned after Ned Kelly !!

I wanted to name my DD's middle name Desire after the U2 song Desire but she already had two middle names

(Not the same topic ... but i met someone many years ago who had named his 7th child Sara Lee after the frozen desserts ... no kidding )

[Arimeh]

We were going to call DS "Reznor" after Trent Reznor cos both me and DH are HUGE Niners fans.

However my kiwi friend at work pronounced it Riznah - and yup - turned me off.

Not exactly the same - but our dogs name is keenan - after the most gorgeous vocalist of Tool

[smiles4u]

OMG Mel ... Keenan ... you are the 1st i have ever heard to mention that name ... Way back in 1986 (me thinks) was watching MTV as we all did back then ,,, and one night there on the TV screen was the most gorgeous looking African-American ... needless to say his name was Keenan ... and yeh, it was on my boy's list when pregnant (along with every other boy's name starting with a "K", LOL)

... Might have to name a pet it too

[tattoo_mama]

Arimeh thats cool as!!
i was a bit annoyed when i first found out we were having a girl cause i was so dead set on Davis lol, jonathan davis just makes me melt

[Reborn]

I love Jade Devin. Its pretty and mysterious at the same time. My ds name is Jack Daniel so make what you will of that.....

[Glamourcide]

LOL Devin Townsend, finally someone else who knows who he is hahah my ex was all into SYL and the rest of that kind of music, nobody else I know has ever heard of them

We didn't name DD after a singer/musician as such, but I picked 'Emily' because of the song by From First To Last... when I was 16, my daughter was going to be Cailin after the song by Unwritten Law, and I still have a bit of a fancy for Magdalena after the A Perfect Circle song (albeit, 'Judith' is a wicked song but I just don't like the name Judith lol), etc
And I'm still set on naming any future son I have Drazic after the character from Heartbreak High lol, the name is totally rad as well so I refuse to consider anything else DH doesn't like it though, so good thing we're not having any more

ftr I think Jade Devin is mad pants, especially as it's after Devin Townsend lol I think growing up with parents like you guys she will appreciate it no end, you guys have good taste in music!!

If our DD was a boy she was going to be named Ayrton (after the late F1 driver Ayrton Senna)
