I promise it's not after the actress. I've had Demi in mind my entire life. I've bloody gone and married into the only surname that I can't really use it with!

You can't do that to your kid.
I wanted Dd to be Julia didn't happen with our surname

No, you can’t.

But it’s honestly not a great name, so you’ve done yourself a favour, really.

I like Jessica, but married a Simpson!

I always loved the name Harry; but I married a potter...I couldn't do it )-:

If your surname was Mann, could you call your daughter Isla? I think you need to let go of Demi, sorry.

My sister had this dilemma a couple of years ago and just couldn't do it. The person is too famous to not recognise the name.

I always loved a name growing up but then married a man with a surname that rhymes! ie Joe Toe but obviously not those names.

Definitely a middle name.

Nope. Middle name only I think.

Yennefer19 · 26/10/2020 09:32

Would you be able to use Moores as a middle name instead and then use your maiden name as the surname?

Jessbow · 26/10/2020 09:28

No You can't. You Just cant.
