i am supposed to be having a boy in 3 weeks and picked my name only to find out yesterday that stupid Matthew McConaughey had a baby and used the same name. should i still call my baby this name or will he be one of a million with the same name in 5 years? i am all annoyed.

I actually quite like him as an actor, especially in the Wes Anderson films.

Matthew McConaughey had a baby?

That's novel.

I'd be more bothered that he was named after denim tbh
