Expecting DC2 in March, already have one girl (Lucy). Early stages of debating names obviously, but DH suggested Jessica. I love the name Jessica but my old family dog (died in 2007) was Jess. Will my parents sister and family friends all think I've named my child after the dog? Would that be so terrible anyway? If it makes a difference, she was a rescue dog so we didn't name her. And she was a bloody brilliant dog.

Lol I'm not running names past my family, some of their opinions lie on the harsh side of honest! I've told them the baby is being named after a Harry Potter character

I think it's a lovely name and I'm very picky with names! It's a nice memory. I nearly called our DS the same name as my guinea pig

It's fine!
But my DD middle name is the same as our old cat who I named when I was 5 😳. I do love the name and it also is a diminutive of both my grandmothers names one first and one middle name (neither used the full version so it was a perfect way to honor both).
It just shows I always loved this name. But my DM loves saying I named my DD after a cat

Both my cousin and close friend named their child after my dog.
Well, maybe not quite after him , but the same name.
It's OK.
