How do you feel about naming your child after a celebrity?

Give me your opinions. Have you named your children by celebrities? If so what are their names.


My sons name is Matthew Perry

How do you feel about naming your child after a celebrity?
no kids yet, but i don't see anything wrong with it! so long as you don't name them after the celebrity's children! OMG celebreties come up with some crazy names, don't they? two people with simple names like Bruce and Demi, named their children Rumer, Scout and Tallulah?? Whispering Willow, Apple, Sailor, Ryder, shall i go on? it's hard enough being a child of a celebrity, now you are making me deal with the name, too? geez.





anyway, i've vented....celebrity names are fine, dear :)
Reply:I agree with Cee. It is your child that you carried for nine months. You should be able to name your child anything that you darn well want to.


ie: My oldest daughter is named after a character on a video game. My husband is in love with Grandia Xtreme. There is a character on there named Elena and my daughter's name is Alaina. I changed the spelling a little bit. :)
Reply:I might name my child after someone I admire, but since I feel that most celebrities are not people I admire... and are not great contributors to society, well, it isn't for me.
Reply:I would name my child after a celebrity, but only if I liked that person a lot and they were were worth naming my child after.
Reply:my first name is perry you can name them what ever you want
Reply:There's nothing wrong with celebrity names. After all, they are people too. I've known quite a few families (with multiple children) that named their kids after movie stars from the 40's %26amp; 50's. I just don't like weird names like "Apple" or "Freedom". What are these parents thinking?


I'm having a girl... and trying to talk my husband into Celine... after Celine Dion the singer. My absolute favorite singer.

Reply:I would never name my child after anyone's names. I will always give him/her a unique name which will define his/her personality.
Reply:i feel it is stupid
Reply:I named my daughter after Daveigh Chase from Lilo and Stich, and Ring (voice of Lilo, Samara in the Ring). I just thought it was a beautiful name when I heard it and I had to use it......I just changed the a to an e
Reply:its your child name it what you want
Reply:Nope my daughter name is Alexus,I think people should wait until they have there baby to name them,they may not look like a Katrina or Jessica.After you have your baby look at him or her and see what they look like.
Reply:i think it is normal, because everybody has to have a same name with someone, for me my name is emily rose and i didnt like it because my friends used to tease me with all this kind os exorcism and stuff. i think its good and i wish you and your son a happy day..
Reply:**** i was named after a season, dont see the difference, as long as it not pilot inspector lol i forgot which celeb it was but , they named there kid that!
Reply:People have been naming their children after people they admire for centuries. There is nothing wrong with that as long as you take into account the way other children will react to a child with an evocative name. If the person you name your child after has a bad reputation or instant name recognition, your child could be subjected to intense teasing in school. Matthew Perry isn't an objectional name but I've heard of people naming their kids after infamous criminals or others of disrepute. Those parents need a good a$$ whoopin'.
