...because she's nicked loads of good baby names.

I already have an Edward. I really really want a Bella, Alice or Jasper (I am pg with dc2 by the way!). But the Twilight comments were bad enough first time around, I can't bear the thought of them this time if I have TWO Twilight names! Why couldn't the stupid woman call her vampires Barry, Dennis and Barbara?!

I loved Jasper when pg with DD, but that was way before Twilight. Had to laugh at the OP, my dad and step-mum are called Barry and Barbara :)

When I first read Harry Potter at the tender age of 12 (Christ, long time ago) I thought the girl in it was called Herm-EE-own. This carried on around about the third book until my Mum eventually corrected after much mockery
Have never really liked it after then.
YNBU though, it's infuriating, it's such a huge part of popular culture it's inevitable. Although if there is ever A DD2 in a few years, she will be Esme, it will have hopefully died down by then.

If upon hearing the name Edward people automatically think 'Twilight' well then no offence, they are stupid people.
