I fell in love with the name Cristiano years ago and eventually named first ds it. People always say "Oh, you must be a Ronaldo fan then.." err, no, we just liked the name. All this has lead to dh to only call him Cris when out to avoid football comparisons.

Second ds (just one month old) got the name Jackson. Already we've had people assuming we're big Michael Jackson fans doing some kind of tribute, which we aren't.

Anyone had this problem? Is it easier to correct everyone or just ignore it?

We called our dd Devon...my dh name is james

Damn tiger woods and his affair with the porn star Devon James!

All the guys wink at dh when we tell them the name, thinking that of course he came across the name while watching porn

I just ignore....

we constantly get "Ethan Hawke" (DS is Ethan), which is mildly irritating
