I am a HUGE lover of [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Jackson[/name_m] and thanks to a girl at my old school I have once again fallen in love with the name [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]. :eek: But would you use it?
(p.s I may have posted this before but I don’t remember. oops)
As soon I as read the title of this thread the MJ song got stuck in my head. I think its cute but could never in a million years use it. It is just still SO connected to the song and honestly is a little trashy as a name.
I’m not a fan of either part of the name, but it’s a solid combo (and what little girl doesn’t love knowing her name is a SONG, that sounds like the coolest), and in my opinion [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] [name_m]King[/name_m] is an excellent person to share a name with.
If you are absolutely sure she will love [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Jackson[/name_m], then I think it is a nice combo, lovely sounding. I would not use it personally, but I like it for somebody else’s child.
And you say you know a [name_u]Billie[/name_u]-[name_u]Jean[/name_u], did she have any problems with her name? Asking a bearer is always helpful.
P.S. I have the “[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] is not my lover” line stuck in my head, thanks to the thread.
I think it’d be better to go with something like [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] nn [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] or [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] or any other “[name_m]Wil[/name_m]” girls name. That way she’d have more to work with if she didn’t find it as cute and special as you did. Which I think there’d be a greater risk of than other names you could potentially name her.
I think MJ was a very talented guy, however I am not so keen on names that have such a huge association such as this one and the bad publicity he endured on his personal life would also make me hesitate to give my child this moniker.
My first thought is MJ, but like you I am a HUGE fan of [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Jackson[/name_m].
I would use [name_u]Billie[/name_u], but I don’t think I would use [name_u]Billie[/name_u]-[name_u]Jean[/name_u].
I’m not a fan. Not only will almost everyone of a certain age have an immediate connection to the [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Jackson[/name_m] song, but the name itself isn’t really cute. Sorry, that’s just my personal opinion, but I’ve never been a fan of [name_u]Billie[/name_u]. Also, the song [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] itself is a great song, but if you listen to the lyrics I don’t think it’s something you want to associate with your child. Isn’t the song about a woman accusing the singer of fathering her child but he swears it’s not his?
