DS has a name that's very similar to a celebrity... I had no idea.

My son is 10 months old, his name is very similar to a celebrity and it's already causing problems.

At first, people would say the celebrity's name, whenever I introduced them, thinking they had heard it wrong... Failing to realise they were taking the piss.

I'm not sure what to do...

I'm sure you'd know his songs...

Glad you wouldn't give it a second thought, I'll try and stop thinking about it

So I know his songs but I didn't know his name. I wouldn't react to Charlie

Charlie Puth is the celebrity. He is very well known to the younger generation and sings some big hits that I didn't know he sung

RJnomore1 · 17/07/2016 20:54

pictish · 17/07/2016 20:53

Or post a picture of the celebrity.

MaisieDotes · 17/07/2016 20:50

I'll do it for you globe

What's the name OP?

At least tell us the celebrity.

Vixxfacee · 17/07/2016 20:50

You should tell us the name..

CatsCantFlyFast · 17/07/2016 20:50

Tell us the name?

On the whole I expect the celebrity mightnt be as well known in a few years and it will cease to matter

Bluesand1 · 17/07/2016 20:50

I think it depends on the celebrity..are you able to give any more info?

Globetrotter100 · 17/07/2016 20:49

Can you adapt the first name to a nick name?
