If you had to be named after a celebrity born on your birthday...

What name would you choose? Famous people only please! (No “my grandmother was born on my birthday, so I’d like to be named [name_f]Violet[/name_f]”.)

You can use the first name or the surname of the celebrity.

I’ll go first. My real name’s Everton and I was born on [name_f]April[/name_f] 20th. Out of the celebrities born on my birthday, I’d either choose [name_m]Crispin[/name_m] ([name_m]Glover[/name_m]) or ([name_u]Joey[/name_u]) [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u].

Omg, I just found out I share my birthday with [name_u]Chris[/name_u] [name_m]Evans[/name_m]! I definitely don’t remember that from last time I checked haha. Other than him, there are only about 4 others I know with the same bday, so if I could do some editing I’d be [name_f]Chrissie[/name_f] or [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] nn [name_u]Ash[/name_u] ([name_u]Ashley[/name_u] [name_m]Olsen[/name_m]).

I was born on [name_u]December[/name_u] 19th. Going through the wikipedia page for that day, I like these names (even if I haven’t heard of the bearers before):
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m] (Farrow)
[name_m]Cedric[/name_m] (Baseya)
[name_f]Aziza[/name_f] ([name_m]Mustafa[/name_m] Zadeh)
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] ([name_u]Murphy[/name_u])
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f] (Kolb)

Never heard of many of the people who share my birthday ([name_f]May[/name_f] 18). If I can edit slightly, I share it with [name_f]Tina[/name_f] [name_f]Fey[/name_f], and I do like [name_f]Faye[/name_f] as a name. If that doesn’t count, I like [name_f]Alina[/name_f] as in Russian figure skater [name_f]Alina[/name_f] Zagitova. For a boy, there’s someone who has my exact birthday ([name_f]May[/name_f] 18, 1999) named [name_m]Teo[/name_m] which I really like.

My birthday is the first of [name_u]July[/name_u] so I’d use [name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] after [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] and [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] Mickelsen (who is apparently a model sharing my birthday).

My favourites are [name_f]Clara[/name_f] ([name_m]Bow[/name_m]) and [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] “[name_f]Theda[/name_f]” ([name_f]Bara[/name_f]), so I’d go with [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. Also found out that [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] Short “The [name_m]Black[/name_m] [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]” was born on my birthday in [name_m]Boston[/name_m], so that will give me shivers for awhile.

Probably [name_u]Jessie[/name_u] because that’s the only person I know lol

Apparently there are tons of celebrities internationally who share my birthday, but I don’t recognize most of them. Lol.

But if I were a boy I’d be [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_u]Murray[/name_u], I think, and I’d be either [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Vera[/name_f] “[name_f]Lottie[/name_f]” or [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] “[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]” or [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] for a girl. :P. [name_m]Don[/name_m]’t ask me who those celebrities are, though, because it was a very long list and I don’t remember! Hahaha!

I share a birthday with [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Lennon[/name_u], and I’d quite like to be named [name_m]John[/name_m] or [name_u]Lennon[/name_u] if I was a boy.

Other people I share a birthday with and whose names I like:

[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] (Dreyfus - I didn’t know this, and I’m fascinated by his life story, so that’s nice to learn)
[name_m]Johann[/name_m] [name_m]Andreas[/name_m] (Segner)
[name_m]Simeon[/name_m] ([name_m]Solomon[/name_m])
[name_m]Carl[/name_m] [name_m]Gustav[/name_m] (Thulin)
[name_f]Maria[/name_f] (Filotti)
Tadeusz (Rozewicz)
Polly [name_u]Jean[/name_u] ([name_m]Harvey[/name_m])

I have the worst birthday date ever and I don’t like any of the names or people who I share a birthday with. At a push I would go with:

[name_u]Nico[/name_u] (m) after [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] Cage
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] (f) after [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_m]Hazard[/name_m] (but I would pronounce it as E-[name_m]Den[/name_m] not [name_m]Ed[/name_m]-[name_m]Den[/name_m] like he does)

I don’t have many people that I share a birthday with that I’ve actually heard of, but if I’m choosing solely based on names (not the actual people) I would have to go with…

[name_u]James[/name_u] (m) - [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Polk[/name_m], an old president of the US
[name_f]Marie[/name_f] (f) - [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_f]Antoinette[/name_f] (I’m surprised they know the exact date of her birthday! I had to choose between being [name_f]Marie[/name_f], [name_f]Antoinette[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Toni[/name_f]’, or [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] (a name I love, but not a fan of [name_u]Nelly[/name_u] so ended up not choosing it)

I would go with [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] for [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] Lindgren and Nepomuk for [name_m]Johann[/name_m] Nepomuk Hummel.

The only person I know right off hand sharing my birthday is [name_f]Grace[/name_f] Ingalls. Google brings up a couple names I might consider (not knowing anything about the people).

[name_f]Nanette[/name_f] (Burstein- American director and producer) I know a [name_f]Nan[/name_f] and she is the sweetest lady

[name_f]Agathe[/name_f] (Uwilingiyimana- Prime Minister of Rwanda)

[name_f]Lilian[/name_f] (Drescher- Venezuelan tennis star)

These aren’t names I would actually use but of the available options I think they’re my most likely pick.

I share [name_u]March[/name_u] 28th with Lady Gaga, or [name_f]Stefani[/name_f] [name_f]Joanne[/name_f] [name_f]Angelina[/name_f] Germanotta, her actual name.

I love the name [name_f]Angelina[/name_f], nn [name_u]Angel[/name_u].

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], for Mrs. [name_m]Roosevelt[/name_m] ([name_f]October[/name_f] 11th)

It would be cool to be named Whoopi after Ms. Goldberg, but realistically I think I’d choose [name_f]Julia[/name_f] after [name_f]Julia[/name_f] Micheals (even though I’m not 100% sure who she is).

I found out I share my birthday w/a lot of people I never heard of before. :wink: However, there are a few whose names I like:

[name_f]Tamsyn[/name_f] (but I prefer the spelling [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f])
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f] (but I prefer the spelling [name_f]Lauryn[/name_f])
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f] [name_m]Wood[/name_m] (born [name_f]Natasha[/name_f]; I’d use the nn [name_f]Tasha[/name_f])
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_f]Cicely[/name_f] (but I prefer the spelling [name_f]Cecily[/name_f])

I think I would go with [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Angelou[/name_f] after a [name_m]Saxon[/name_m] duchess and [name_f]Maya[/name_f]. There are lots cool guy and surnames on my birthday, but I share a birthday with [name_m]Robert[/name_m] Downey [name_m]Jr[/name_m] and [name_m]Heath[/name_m] [name_m]Ledger[/name_m].

[name_u]August[/name_u] 27th!

[name_m]Cesar[/name_m] (Millan)
[name_m]Aaron[/name_m] ([name_m]Paul[/name_m])
[name_m]Lyndon[/name_m] (B. [name_m]Johnson[/name_m])
[name_f]Alexa[/name_f] ([name_u]Vega[/name_u])

The only celebrity I previously knew I shared a birthday with was [name_m]Bob[/name_m] [name_u]Marley[/name_u]
