Have name changed as I don't want to be recognised in RL.
I have 2 DC, who happen to have names SIMILAR to those of a popular pig family on TV. George and Heppa.
I named them this before the programme started, George is George we just loved the name and Heppa is named after my late great, great Grandmother.
Heppa is begging me to allow her to change her name, she hates the connection. I hate that a certain group of mothers now call me "mummy pig" and snort as a greeting and then laugh and laugh. George doesn't care either way.
I've told Heppa no, I love her name too much, it's connections are far too important and have told George we will change his.
Everyone thinks I'm unreasonable, both kids, DH and all my family.
I don't think I am. I know I'm not, fed up of trying to convince them I am right.
