Yeah I think it would depend on the name itself & how it is remembered. Or is it just how you remember it IYKWIM. And how you approach it also, ie: if someone brings up the other ?? & you don't like it you let them know.

Not a stigma as such but I had Sadee on the top of our list if #2 had been a girl....lucky for DH we are having another boy. He just would not come to the party & my Mum just laughed. Why because someone famous had a song....so what, it's still a name!

I also get a little annoyed when some great TV show I love starts using a name I like, then all of a sudden you get "oh that's from....."

I also love the name Banjo & am getting mixed responses on that too.

But in regards to a "stigma" depends how bad & how often it's rememberd I guess. Like your example with Adolf, it's not a common Australian name so it does carry a lot of stigma with it.

But if you love the name & it works for you.....pffffftttt to what anyone else says, unless you think it's going to be a real prob for your child.

Now after that essay....what's the name
