Son has the name of a celebrity... I didn't realise.

[Charlotteee1402]

I don't watch much TV, so didn't watch this program. Really gutted.

He's 8 months, but no one has really ever said anything. I've had a few "oh, like..." but I've just smiled, thinking "who?" and just got on with my day.

Would you change it?

[stiffstink]

Is he called Jeremy Kyle?

[Charlotteee1402]

No

[Sweets101]

The same full name do you mean?

[hawaiibaby]

Tell us!!

[JaimeLannister]

After 8 months it is his name now. If no one has really said anything then it can't be a huge celebrity.

[Raines100]

All depends on the celebrity. What's the name? The last thread like this, none of us had heard of the celeb anyway.

[DearMrDilkington]

Joey?

[frikadela01]

I'm dying to know the name now. Personally if you like that name then sod everyone else.

For what it's worth my Ds has the same name as a very famous character from a film series both me and dp are huge fans of (think collecting the memorabilia, dp has tattoos). Ds isn't actually named after this character, it's just a name we both love but everyone obviously assumes it's after the character. I couldn't care less.

[Soubriquet]

You will have to say the name now!

[Charlotteee1402]

Louis Walsh

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I don't think that's too bad.

[HardcoreLadyType]

There was a girl at my DDs school called Grace Kelly.

It always made me smile a little.

Is your DSs namesake very famous? Is he likely not be be famous in 10 years time?

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

OMG. You'd never heard of Louis Walsh.
Is he Louie or Louis though.

[Soubriquet]

That's not too bad

Easily forgotten as a celebrity as he hadn't been around much lately

[MovingOnUpMovingOnOut]

Seriously? I think you're having us on

[Charlotteee1402]

No! I actually hadn't he is Lou-ie

[Charlotteee1402]

Hang on, I'll get out his birth certificate...

[Fuckityhi]

One of my dc has the name of a marvel superhero. I didn't know until well after he was named.

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

My dd went to school with a Michael Jackson. He wasn't teased all the children were fascinated by him abs thought it was fab

[Arsenicinthesugarbowl]

His name is fine!!! I was thinking something truly outlandish!

[HardcoreLadyType]

Oh, x posted.

I don't think anyone will think about Louis Walsh when your DS is old enough for his peers to be watching that kind of television.

It would be like a teenager today being called Jim Davidson, or something like that. Someone who used to be a bit famous.

[Soubriquet]

You don't need to post his birth certificate!!

[BikeRunSki]

I have the same name as an extremely well known male rock star. It raises a few eyebrows and the odd comment, but not on a bad way. I suspect that Louis Walsh will not be that well known for that long. My namesake's heyday was a good 20 years ago, but people still know who he is.

[FatOldBag]

Cute name, I think it's fine - not like Michael Jackson or something where you automatically think of the celeb.

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Like Boris Johnson.
