So after some discussion with you (and my husband is good with or without J) Im leaning towards not using a J for our third son. Our first is [name_m]Joel[/name_m] and second is [name_u]Jonah[/name_u]. I really like [name_m]Simon[/name_m]. Our last name is [name_u]Baker[/name_u] though.
Have you ever heard of [name_m]Simon[/name_m] [name_u]Baker[/name_u] the actor? If so, do you think it a deal breaker and I shouldn’t choose [name_m]Simon[/name_m]?
I know who he is but haven’t seen him in anything recently. I think it’s kind of nice to have a “namesake” of sorts. I don’t think it’s a dealbreaker as long as the guy isn’t up and coming (which this guy definitely is not) and isn’t known for doing anything bad
My first/last name combo is pretty common on its own but it’s also a googleable character’s name and I like the anonymity that lends me.
I don’t know who Simon Baker is (sorry, Simon). I don’t think it is a deal breaker at all. Simon is an amazing name. If you love it, please, use it!
Update: I did a small research to find out who’s the actor. I know his face and I think I have watched some of his works, but I had no idea what was his name. Nowadays, the actor is not very famous. That aspect can obviously change at any time, but I don’t think you need to worry about it. Both Simons will have a big age gap. Besides that, Simon is a classic name and Baker is also a very traditional surname! It’s completely different than choosing an unique combination like Leonardo Dicaprio, Denzel Washington, Timothée Chalamet or Bradley Pitt. Notice that there are many boys/men named Will Smith and Chris Evans out there. They probably ear a comment about the actors sometimes, but I don’t think it is a big deal.
I have NO CLUE who you are referring to. But if you are concerned [name_m]Silas[/name_m] or [name_m]Simeon[/name_m] could be close biblical alternatives
It sounds familiar, but I cannot off the top of my head think of who he is. I think both [name_m]Simon[/name_m] and [name_u]Baker[/name_u] are common enough names it shouldn’t be a problem.
I know the actor cause I loved the show he was in. Though if I met your boy, I wouldn’t associate the name with the actors. [name_m]Simon[/name_m] is quite popular and so does [name_u]Baker[/name_u], it’s not like [name_f]Zendaya[/name_f] for example.
