I am so sad! I just found out the one of the new teenage moms on Teen Mom 3 (a ridiculous show on MTV that glamorizes pregnant teens) named her baby [name]Arabella[/name]. [name]One[/name] of my daughter’s names is [name]Arabella[/name] which is both a family name (a great great grandmother that was actually a Lady in [name]England[/name]) and one that I chose for its sophistication. I may not want to know the truth, but do you guys think this name will now be associated with this show & tarnished because of it?
So sad
Heavens, no. [name]Arabella[/name] is a lovely name, and I think a lot of people including me avoid shows like Teen Mom. [name]Don[/name]'t worry about it! [name]Even[/name] now that I know, the name is not tarnished in my opinion.
They won’t remember it. Nobody remembers everything they heard on TV.
That is kind of a bummer, but it’s just a pop culture fad. Once our [name]Arabella[/name]'s get older, I can’t imagine anyone will be relating them to some kid on Teen Mom. Hardly anyone will remember. It’s a lovely name and one pop culture blip won’t change that
There are a lot more people who don’t watch Teen Mom than those that do. I honestly do not think the Teen Mom association will stick around long, if it does at all. [name]Arabella[/name] was already a common name before the show came out so it’s not like it’s some obscure name that would make it more likely to be associated with the show because it’s rare.
Oh God, you really believe people remember names of some obscure children, they saw few years ago? I doubt posters on this topic remembers commercials they saw four nights ago, why would anyone say “Once our [name]Arabella[/name]'s get older, I can’t imagine anyone will be relating them to some kid on Teen Mom.” I really really, doubt person who first heard of [name]Arabella[/name] on this show will remember it next day.
I’ve never seen Teen Mom but I think if every name that was on a TV show became popular it would get ridiculous. Some take off, very few don’t. If it’s one of those shows where they focus on a different family every week it’s definitely not going to becomepopular.
I really didn’t think [name]Arabella[/name] is popular. It is #300 or something. So, now I am scared the type of people who watch Teen Mom will get the idea to use this name and it will get very popular (and with a Teen Mom watching crowd)
