to be really cross that a new baby in Eastenders has the same name as my baby?

[Swedes2Turnips1]

Help?

What is the name?

Why is it a problem? you named your Ds 1st!
Oscar is a lovely name too.

Oops missed out the 'And' before oscar!

A little unreasonable as lots and lots of little boys are called Oscar atm, it is a lovely name.

Just a tad self obsessed?

Baby in Ghostbusters 2 was called Oscar.

Swedes, I am 24weeks pg and had the name roxy in my head for ages as for a little girl, then along came roxy mitchell. Eastenders sucks.

Oh I meant to add, You are not being unreasonable in the slightest

Didn't you get the name yourself form Neighbours?

or sesame street?

Eastenders ruined the name spencer for me

Did Honey & Billy have their baby then?

Lots of people assumed that I chose my dd's name after seeing Friends. It is frustrating but no you aren't BU - how dare soaps grab names and use them at random .

It would annoy me too- big time. I was so paranoid with DD that someone in a soap would name their baby the name I was going to use, they didn't, thank goodness. Self obsessed NO, and YANBU at all.

From Bounty:

Your name, oscar, is in position number 76 in our 2007 list.

Last year it was in position number 99

Your name have moved up 23 places since last year.

So yes YABU

I was going to call DD2 Giselle and I'm so glad I didn't because that's the name of the lead character in Enchanted, so there will be hundreds of girls with that name soon.

This is why I called my children weirdy names

I was due in Jan and mc'd. My baby was a boy and we called him Oscar, it did upset me to see the EE baby named Oscar. I'm so glad I'm pregnant again otherwise i would really be decastated.

Eastenders nicked Tiffany when dd1 was born so it ended up being demoted to her middle name I was so gutted.

Ah, I share your pain - when dd1 was 9 months old, a really slutty character bearing the same name came on to Neighbours. I lost count of the number of people who asked me if I had named her after her following that . However, she was short-lived and I bet nobody remembers her now!

Not as bad as another girl I knew who named her daughter Monica - one month before Monica Lewinsky became world famous

Check out this American site, not always relevant over here but they list my son's name (Wilbur)in the top 100 in 1920!!!!! It fell out the top 1000 in 1982

Oops here

YANBU - it is very frustrating. I was surprised that Max said no one calls their baby Oscar. Tis very popular round here.

Miaow - Annalise was it?

Yes yabu but I felt exactly the same when I had dd1-the name I had was Ruby but then there was a bloody dog called it in Brookside.I went with another name and said dog was killed off a week later.
This time round I had another girl and her mn is Queenie.About two weeks after getting her out of hospital my mum rang up and said there was some old hag called it on Eastenders lmao.
My dd2 gets Queenie most of the time still though!

When i was pregnant with DS1 i was going to call him Willow if he was a girl after a lovely very old lady i knew.

Then came Buffy.

Thank Goodness he was a boy!
