Feeling sick to my stomach that Katie Price has just named her baby the same name as my son!

Currently holding my head in my hands rocking back and forth screaming "whhhhyyyyyyyyyyy?!?!"

Well, not really..... But I feel like doing that. I thought I had hit the jackpot with Jett, unique yet masculine and not too weird sounding and now KATIE PRICE has named her son Jett too.

Sorry, just had to have a rant. :(

So, is it too early to start speculating as to what KP will call her next baby? I'm struggling to see a theme here! Harvey, Junior, Princess, Jett and...

Excuse me, probably totally off topic, but I serioulsy cannot understand why so many here on MN have put that Katie Hopkins woman down for her comments, when it seems to me most people here are from the same school of thought Confused

I like it and I hope all goes well for her. Isn't he going to be in hospital for a few weeks? Must be scary.

When she has the next one, she should blow everyone's minds by naming it Carol or Kenneth. Confound expectations.

Onesleeptillwembley · 18/08/2013 22:36

It sounds perfectly suited to her and her lifestyle. You obviously don't like or approve of her. I have similar feelings about naming a child 'Jet'.

Be nice to Travolta, he may be strange but no one should lose a child.

What about Jettson?

I loved that show

AnnaNimitty · 18/08/2013 22:57

What a bunch of pretentious assholes you are!!

Lighthousekeeping · 18/08/2013 22:59

These name threads bring out the snobbery in people the worst one was the cute name thread. It was appalling.

maja00 · 18/08/2013 23:06

Jett hasn't suddenly become chavvy because Katie Price used it, any more than Harvey did!

scarletforya · 18/08/2013 23:08

Makes me think of the Gladiator.

CheeseAndFriedMushrooms · 18/08/2013 23:11

I had a baby name that I loved since uni, was going to call my first child it. (It's a unisex foreign name). Never told anyone about it.

Dh's brother got there first with his daughter so no way could I have used it. Was irrationally angry for weeks!

OnTheBottomWithAWomensWeekly · 18/08/2013 23:15

This is seriously something to be bothered about? I cannot imagine how you possibly could care. To be fair, if youre thunking of a spectrum from Ms Price, to say, the duchess of cambridge, Jett is most firmly at the glamour model endof it. But so what?

elQuintoConyo · 18/08/2013 23:17

I think you need to get over yourself.
And stop being so cruel.
IMVHO.

meditrina · 18/08/2013 23:17

Perhaps it's an homage to the current advert (featuring a deliberately bad version of that Joan Jett single)

saintmerryweather · 18/08/2013 23:19

jett was already a bit of a stupid name before kp used it really

Something very conventional I bet

Anjou · 18/08/2013 23:57

Wow. How incredibly rude and self indulgent some people on this website are. The OP isn't asking you what you think of her child's name, so I'm not really sure why some of you have taken it upon yourself to tell her how much you dislike it and yet haven't actually responded to her post. Are you expecting her to change it because some strangers on the Internet don't like it, or is it just that you like being spiteful?

OP, I totally get why you feel like this right now but in a few years time, I doubt many people (whose opinions you give a toss about) will have any recollection of her kids names. It's a distinctive name and I'm sure your DS will make it his own. Smile

Nicknamegrief · 18/08/2013 23:59

Katie Price was/is pregnant, where I have I been ....

Don't stress, if anyone knows who she is in 15 years time I'll be shocked.

OnTheBottomWithAWomensWeekly · 19/08/2013 00:04

I dont think you mean self indulgent, it doesnt make sense. And if op can give it out, shell have to take it too.

pictish · 19/08/2013 00:08

I agree with anjou!

How rude some of you are!! That is her child's name - her actual real child! None of you would dare be so rude about her son's name to her face would you?

Keep your sneering to yourselves for fuck sake you ill mannered gits!

OP - yanbu. When we called our ds1 Oscar, we had never heard of a single other Oscar (he is 11 now). Now they are everywhere, and there was even a baby on Eastenders called Oscat. Killed me. I'm over it now...but I get you. x

Onesleeptillwembley · 19/08/2013 00:12

The OP is happy to call Katie Price names, Chavvy springs to mind. The name she has chosen herself is horrendous, pot, kettle and all that.
