We are expecting our 4th daughter in a few months and cannot agree on a name.
I’m dead set on [name_f]Flora[/name_f] and my husband is set on either [name_f]Isla[/name_f] or [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] (I like both but don’t love either). The only name we both like quite a bit is [name_f]Violet[/name_f] but I don’t think we can use it with the Affleck kids since our oldest is named Serafina.
Husband thinks it’s no big deal since he’s not familiar with celebrity stuff and we also have two other daughters, but I’m not sure if other people would notice it or think it’s weird.
Also worth mentioning is that my husband is a [name_m]Ben[/name_m] Affleck lookalike and we literally get people saying he looks like the actor every time we leave the house.
So what do you think?
I think unless they’re the two youngest, it’s totally fine, not many people will notice it or care, for that matter. But even if they are the youngest, if your sibset has two other names included (that are not close to any of the Affleck’s names), you’re good.
Thanks for the feedback!
Yes, our other two girls have old fashioned but unique names. [name_f]Non[/name_f]-Affleck themed as far as I know 
Wait - I’m confused - what is the question about [name_f]Serafina[/name_f]?
If you’re just wondering about naming your daughter [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and your husband looking so much like [name_m]Ben[/name_m] Affleck, I don’t think people will really notice. If you’re considering [name_f]Serafina[/name_f] as the middle though, or if one of your daughters is already named [name_f]Serafina[/name_f] (which I don’t think she is, since you made a comment that your daughters’ names are non-Affleck thamed), that might be a little much.
Gosh, sorry! I forgot mention that our oldest daughter is named [name_f]Serafina[/name_f], that was my question
I might hesitate. I don’t think most people will notice much, I definitely knew his kid’s names but it’s likely on my mind since [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] was on my list for a baby I’m having any day now.
I was going to say go for it, especially if there’s a bigger age gap and other girls, but if you actually literally have people very regularly ”comment on DH looking like [name_m]Ben[/name_m] Affleck, it might be weird.
In that case, I probably would not do it myself.
If you love it, I’d say use it, but be prepared for some questions/comments. [name_f]Valerie[/name_f], [name_f]Veronica[/name_f], [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], [name_f]Viveca[/name_f], [name_f]Virginia[/name_f], [name_u]Valentine[/name_u], [name_u]Vale[/name_u], [name_f]Viola[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], and [name_f]Verity[/name_f] are all nice V names if you decide to go with something different.
If you live in the US, I don’t think you should use both [name_f]Serafina[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] when you already know those are the names an American “A-list” celebrity couple gave their children. Considering that [name_f]Violet[/name_f] isn’t even your first choice or your husband’s, it almost seems like you’re subconsciously wanting to copy [name_m]Ben[/name_m] Affleck, but don’t want to be perceived as doing so. [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f] and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] are all lovely names.
(Side-note: when I was a teenager I had a steady older boyfriend who looked like [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]. When we went to a formal reception, I ended up wearing a dress that had been recommended to me by my friends and mom because it looked like one [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_m]Hurley[/name_m] had famously worn. I know we don’t mean to end up copying celebrities, but the truth is that they do influence us. Now that I’m an adult, I actively try to resist their influence on myself.)
Your daughters might appreciate not having the same names as members of a celebrity family.
I don’t think it’s a subconscious thing because I originally actually loved [name_f]Viola[/name_f], but DH didn’t and he was the one who suggested [name_f]Violet[/name_f] (and he’s clueless when it comes to celebrity stuff). [name_f]Serafina[/name_f] is a very old family name and we decided on it long before they had their little one.
Either way, great feedback and I think we will steer clear of it! He seemed to think it was no big deal and people wouldn’t notice, so just wanted to see if I’m overly “name informed” and being paranoid or not guess not!
