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. :(

Hahaha a 'trying too hard name' ?
Excellent, hopefully it won't become too popular then!

I prefer Katie Price to weirdo scientologist waxwork Travolta.
Jett is a great name plus he's a character in Home and Away atm.
Riviera reminds of the dodgy doctor from the Simpsons.

isn't that name from a wings song? which was supposedly about a dog or horse

it's a bit of a 'trying too hard' name isn't it though?

I didn't even realise she was having another. Who's she with nowadays? It all fell through with that fighty man in the dress didn't it? I really must read more of that bot down the side of the DM website.

Agree with the poster who said it's a standard kooky celebaby name.

ashlee thank you for understanding....

I don't care that it is a celeb-type name, although I think it is a bit more normal than most, I just don't want it to become the new cool name for aspiring glamour model and WAG babies.....! Eeek.

It reminds me of my black labrador as hes called Jet!

I think you are over reacting to be honest

There were four Christopher's in my class at school, there were three children with the same name as my dd at her school. It's a name, no one owns it, if you want it use it. There are thousands of jetts all over the world same as any other name. :)

Can you re-name him Spike instead?

Jett is my baby name which I've loved FOREVER. A beautiful, unusual but not ridiculous, cool but not inappropriate name. I've never mentioned it, never told ANYONE incase they stole it, and now she has ruined it completely. I can't use it in future incase someone thinks I'm some sort of Katie Price superfan (trust me, i'm not!) I feel your pain Vege! Just feel glad you got in there first, because I didn't Angry

Really? It just sounds like a celeb-child's name to me. Like Fifi-Trixiebelle, Princess or Apple.

John Travolta and Katie Price are on opposite ends of the celebrity spectrum though! It sounds quite respectable as the name of John Travolta's son, Katie Price just makes it sound tacky :(

Well it is a celeb-child type name, so not massively surprising. John Travolta's son was called Jett, as is Hank Williams' daughter.

GemmaTeller · 18/08/2013 20:54

Jett is nice - doesn't an actor have a son called Jett?

KP ruined it with Riviera

LEMisdisappointed · 18/08/2013 20:53

Jet is a cool name, but then i have a crush on Jet Li so I would say that!
