Just a bit of Friday fun... Our baby daughter is called Annabelle, forevermore to be associated with a horror film about a haunted doll... Thank you very much indeed Warner Brothers! So it got me thinking about other people whose child's name has been tainted by a film/book/vile celeb etc. There must be plenty of parents of Elsa/Annas out there cursing Frozen!!!...

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

Years ago I met a little girl called Bianca - her mum was so pleased to have found something so unusual and also rather glam (think Jagger). Flash forward a couple of years to Ri'eeee yelling "Beeyan'aaah" across Walford.....must have stung a bit!!

It's worked well for me for over 40 years

The reviews for the Annabelle movie aren't so good-
Don't think it's going to be iconic horror stuff. I wouldn't worry.

I have a 3 year old Anna, she thought it was great fun when Frozen came out, she thought she was the bees knees . She was less impressed when her older sisters pronounced her name the way they do in the film, "it's not Arna its Anna" was a frequent holler in our house complete with obligatory foot stamp!

I had my 2nd daughter and called her Heidi - 4 weeks later Kerry Katona had a little girl and called her Heidi, I was pretty devastated. Thankfully it has never been mentioned to me and I still love the name.

Aw. It would make me sad if something really did ruin a name completely.
