    Same names as a celebrity!

    In a quandry as to whether this is too weird or not...

    DH and I named DD pretty easily. In fact we had several names we could have used, we liked them all.

    This new bub, however, is proving rather difficult. Its a boy and we are just stumped.

    We have one name that we both like and we have been sitting on it for a few weeks, just letting it simmer away, to decide if we like it.

    However I have just realised that there is a rather famous celebrity out there who has kids and her first two are named the same as our DD and our fave boy name. I don't want to say who as we are keeping DS's potential name hush hush for now.

    I wonder if that is too weird, or if it would be ok?? What does everyone think?

    Hard to say without knowing the name - I mean if it is Apple and Moses, then yeah, a little weird lol

    But I dont have a problem with it - TBH I wouldn't know a celebrity child if I fell over it, and if it is just a name (and not Heavenly Hirani Tigerlily ) then I can't see it as a problem

    I don't think it really matters -
    I think it might be weird if it was surnames as well eg Janet & Michael Jackson!
    You should be fine

    No it is not Apple and Moses, Heavenly Harani, Janet and Michael or anything like that, not that iconic!!!

    Mum and dad are iconic, but their kids names are normal.

    Maybe it is ok... after all, it took me a few weeks to twig!

    A friend of mine has an Emmi and a Max, same as JLo's Emme and Max, but hers were born before the twins.

    I think I know the celebrity you are talking about?

    Is it an Australian celebrity? If its what I am thinking I think the names are gorgeous and it wouldnt matter at all.
