Favourite boy's name is the name of someone horrible - how to get over it?

I'm struggling with boys' names.
One of my favourite names is the name of my old boss who I really disliked! Has anyone overcome this problem? It's a fairly popular name, so not like my old boss is the only person in the world with that name or anything!

I’ve noticed that when I really loves name I completely forget that it’s the same as someone horrible. We named our dd the same as a horrible bully who I actually had a few run-ins with at school. It never occurred to me till recently and dd is 3!

I imagine if you just use it you’ll soon associate it with your dc and not your boss.
