Would this be a deal-breaker for you?

Girl Names

I’ll start by saying that I am, in no way, up on the fashion/model scene. So when I was googling the name combos we like for our next babe ([name]Bridget[/name]/[name]Brigitte[/name] [name]Valentine[/name] or [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Valentine[/name]), I was suprised to see that [name]Bridget[/name] [name]Valentine[/name] is the name of a (gorgeous) fashion model, who appears to be quite popular. She’s obviously not [name]Cindy[/name] [name]Crawford[/name]/[name]Heidi[/name] Klum popular, or I’m sure I would have heard of her.

But my question is this - while there will most likely be another person in the world with the same name (fn and mn) as your little one (unless both names are REALLY uncommon), would you not use a favorite combo if a celebrity shared the same names? I keep thinking of all the comments I’d get if [name]Bridget[/name] [name]Valentine[/name] (the model) DID become really popular… and I’d be annoyed, especially because I don’t consider outward beauty to be something worth naming my daughter after. Oh, and apparently there is a [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Valentine[/name] that is a producer and owns her own production company. :slight_smile:

Someone somewhere will have the same name as your kid. I think if you spell it [name]Brigitte[/name] that helps some with distinction, and i also have to say that i’ve never heard of either of them. It’s not like you’re naming your son [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] or something.

I haven’t heard of them either, and esp if yours is a fn/mn combo, and these models are fn/ln combos, I would not give it another thought. I’d just do it and not worry about it. Models have relatively short careers anyway for the most part. :wink:

I don’t think it’d be a deal-breaker for me, especially since it’s a minor celebrity (and a model at that). I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

It wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me. I’ve never heard of those people, and if you spell [name]Bridget[/name] differently, it would clear that up. Also, if [name]Valentine[/name] is the middle name, it will be way less obvious. I wouldn’t worry about it. :slight_smile:

I’ve never heard of either, and I can’t imagine their that big. Is there a chance one could blow up? Possibly. But no, it would be enough to sway me.
