Would You Still Use North if You Were Us?

deleted post

I would use it. It’s a middle name, it’s got meaning, if anyone questions you about it you have a story to tell them why you picked it. ____ [name]William[/name] [name]North[/name] ___n is very handsome as a combination, and I think it has much better flow than ___ [name]William[/name] [name]Norman[/name] ____n.

I would still use it as a mn if it had meaning to me!

I don’t really see how someone could “ruin” a name by using it for their little baby. If little [name]North[/name] [name]West[/name] grows up to be a evil dictator or psychopath sadist, sure, but she’s a little baby! I’m probably in the minority here, but I like [name]Kanye[/name] [name]West[/name] and I don’t see any reason why them using this name should stop others from doing the same. If people think they inspired you, or that you’re a massive Kardashian fan, so what? You know you’re not (I’m assuming).

I think that its fine to use, especially as a middle name. I also think that [name]North[/name] is going to become a pretty popular name, so in a couple of years, no one will really associate it with just [name]Kim[/name] and [name]Kanye[/name] anymore :slight_smile:

I would definitely use it. It’s a great name and the thought of the celebrity baby will soon fade fast.

I’ve been wondering how many people this has happened to. Since it’s not your first name choice I wouldn’t even think twice about it!

Ditto everyone else. You’re using it in the middle and it has meaning. Go for it.

A baby girl cannot ruin a name. [name]North[/name] is meaningful to you, and you should definitely still use it. [name]Little[/name] [name]North[/name] [name]West[/name]'s name has been thoroughly ridiculed at this point, and I highly doubt that [name]North[/name] will skyrocket like [name]Violet[/name] or [name]Harper[/name] did.

If it was me, I might hesitate to use it as a first name, but I would have no problem at all using it in the middle. For that matter, I would also use [name]Norman[/name] in the middle to honor a family member, no matter how well/poorly it flows with the last name. Since the name [name]North[/name] is so special to you, I would not change your plans to use it!

[name]North[/name] as a middle name is perfectly fine : ) I’d still use it, especially since you have such good reason to.

Definitely! It’s just a middle name. If it were a first, this would be a different discussion and I would urge you against it. Unfortunately, I named my son [name]Mason[/name] (family homage as well) a couple years before that other Kardashian sparked a [name]Mason[/name] virus. Now my [name]Mason[/name] says he’s going to create an army of Masons, speaking of evil dictators.

I didn’t even have to read past the title. Yes. Use the name you love. Celebrities do not own/“ruin” names. Middle name, first name - use [name]North[/name] wherever you want. It’s a great name and obviously a pair of celebrities agree (even though the situation they used it in was not so great).

I’m not a big fan of [name]Kanye[/name] or the Kardashians, just for the record.
You’ll probably get a lot of “As in [name]North[/name] [name]West[/name]?” But as long as you don’t mind explaining a few (Many) times, I would go for it. Plus, after the birth announcements go out, the only time people will use/hear his middle name will be when he’s in trouble, and at graduation. And most people probably won’t choose those moments to question his name.

[name]Hope[/name] this was helpful…

[name]Hi[/name] [name]Laura[/name], how have you been doing? You’ve had [name]North[/name] on your radar for a long time so I would definitely encourage you to stick with it. It has special meaning for you so to hell with the [name]Kanye[/name] and Kardashian association (I know how you’re feeling because I dislike these overrated and overexposed people immensely). [name]North[/name] is still pretty awesome to use as a mn.

I just wanted to chime in as we have a 5 year old son named, [name]North[/name]. I understand your hesitation…I was devastated to learn of [name]North[/name] [name]West[/name] but I am over it now…EVERYONE we meet likes the name and I think it is a lovely, masculine and strong name.

Definitely use it! It has a lovely meaning for you, it´s a great name, and it is only a middle so will probably only be known by people who know you weren´t inspired by Kimye (who aren´t really as big a deal here in the UK, anyway).

I would still use [name]North[/name] if I were you. GL

By the time you do have a baby, everyone will likely have forgotten about [name]North[/name] [name]West[/name], unless they are die-hard Kardashian fans. Plus, you’ve got a great reason and story behind choosing that name, so go for it!

This, exactly.
