Feeling sick to my stomach that Katie Price has just named her baby the same name as my son!

Currently holding my head in my hands rocking back and forth screaming "whhhhyyyyyyyyyyy?!?!"

Well, not really..... But I feel like doing that. I thought I had hit the jackpot with Jett, unique yet masculine and not too weird sounding and now KATIE PRICE has named her son Jett too.

Sorry, just had to have a rant. :(

Thanks Scone it all makes sense now.

I didn't call my baby what I wanted to call her because a famous person had a dd the week before and called her the same name.

I regret that decision now. I wish I'd gone with the name I wanted as nobody I know would associate it with some random baby with a famous mother.

Jett Riviera LotsaTuddles would be awesome Smile

You just keep telling yourself that Onthe bottom - if it makes you feel better about your conduct on this thread, go right ahead clutching at straws.

SconeInSixtySeconds · 19/08/2013 11:52

Her newborn is called Jett Riviera LotsaTuddles.

I think that is the issue really - poor little thing sounds a bit like a tv western character with the two names together...

LotsaTuddles · 19/08/2013 11:43

Sorry, but, does KP have another child called riviera?

worldcitizen · 19/08/2013 11:38

Not double standards...Two wrongs don't make a right...

SconeInSixtySeconds · 19/08/2013 11:38

i like the name Jett. I would never have been brave enough to use it as it would have sounded utterly bonkers with my surname, but it brings to mind a young man who knows his own mind.

and wears a lot of black leather.

and possibly has long black hair.

I may be overthinking this... :o

OnTheBottomWithAWomensWeekly · 19/08/2013 11:30

Do you erally think you'll spend much time telling people that your kid isn't named after someone years younger than him?Do you meet really stupid people?

I can't believe people are complaining about mean replies to a really mean OP! Double standards or what?

Rooners · 19/08/2013 11:20

oops

Rooners · 19/08/2013 11:20

She was going to ruin someone's name, whatever she called her baby.

At least she chose something not that many children will be called.

Sorry OP. I'd be gutted too if it was my child's name. -which it would never, ever be--

JetBlack · 19/08/2013 11:02

GiveMeVegemite My DS is also called Jett and is 2.5 now and after someone told me about KP yesterday I did sit there with my head in my hands feeling sorry for myself. I don't really like KP but it wasn't about that, more that I was worried I was going to spend the rest of his school years telling people his name and then explaining straight away that he had his name before KP's son and I didn't copy but....

Now I have my sensible hat on. I only have a close circle of friends and family and everyone associates the name with DS now and it suits him so much, it just is him now.

I just hope her baby Jett is ok as I think I read he has to stay in hospital due to being early and good luck to them all, they picked an awesome name! Grin

Musttidyup - I was hoping nobody had read my post :) I don't know how a text msg suddenly appeared in my post. Silly phone! I've had it removed now as it contained personal info.

Anyway back to Jett - its not a bad name at all and as somebody above pointed out, Harvey and Junior didn't fly to the top of the name stats so don't worry! A number of people had the same concern over the name George only last month.

Did you C&P a little text in there looki? Confused Grin

worldcitizen · 19/08/2013 09:41

anna that would be too good to be true, but I'm afraid too many posters are regulars.
I have actually reported this thread for the many nasty replies.

AnnaNimitty · 19/08/2013 09:33

Have some of the trolls from Ask.fm ventured onto Mumsnet??

whiteandyellowiris · 19/08/2013 09:12

I think it will become less popular now tbh

is your baby older than 6 weeks?
could you change the name, if you are that upset about it

I miss admit I was surprised to hear the baby was over 5lb at 32 weeks

SirChenjin · 19/08/2013 08:47

Harvey, Princess something or other, and Junior

What are her other children called? Has there actually been an increase in children being called those names?

(go look at the ONS, see if they are up or down or not in the top thousand)

Trills · 19/08/2013 08:44

If you are horrified that Katie Price has a son with the same name as yours...

... then I think we can safely assume that you don't mix in circles where people would deliberately name their child the same name as Katie Price's child

SirChenjin · 19/08/2013 08:42

Never mind OP - it shows you have the same taste as Katie Price Grin Grin
