DS has a name that's very similar to a celebrity... I had no idea.

My son is 10 months old, his name is very similar to a celebrity and it's already causing problems.

At first, people would say the celebrity's name, whenever I introduced them, thinking they had heard it wrong... Failing to realise they were taking the piss.

I'm not sure what to do...

Can you adapt the first name to a nick name?

I think it depends on the celebrity..are you able to give any more info?

Tell us the name?

On the whole I expect the celebrity mightnt be as well known in a few years and it will cease to matter

You should tell us the name..

I'll do it for you globe

What's the name OP?

At least tell us the celebrity.

Or post a picture of the celebrity.

Is is Aston/ Ashton?

Did you call him Taylor-Swift?

Yeah we are gonna need the name like.

Charlie Puth is the celebrity. He is very well known to the younger generation and sings some big hits that I didn't know he sung

Never heard of him.

It not exactly elton john or wayne Rooney. I wouldn't give it a second thought.

So I know his songs but I didn't know his name. I wouldn't react to Charlie

I'm sure you'd know his songs...

Glad you wouldn't give it a second thought, I'll try and stop thinking about it

So are you saying that your surname is similar to Puth?

I wouldn't give it another thought tbh.

Yes, well, my surname isn't. His last name is Booth though

I've never heard of him!

I used to work with a tall, red haired lady called Diana Ross. She would be in her thirties now I think. It made me think "oh like Diana Ross" for about a second but then I just thought of her as Diana Ross from HR.

Nope, that means nothing to me. I thought your baby's name was going to be Elvis Cresley or David Hameron.

Don't introduce him with his full name - Charlie on its own is not interesting. Or call him Charles if it's bothering you.

Ah, don't worry, it's only familiar amongst the yoofs and those who have kids around a certain age.

I wouldn't even make the correlation and we have a couple of fans of his in our house!

It's a nice name.

Never heard of him!

Never heard of him!

I once knew a Sarah Lee.

He sings See You Again, Marvin Gaye, etc.

I never thought it was an issue, until it kept being pointed out
