Son has the name of a celebrity... I didn't realise.

I don't watch much TV, so didn't watch this program. Really gutted.

He's 8 months, but no one has really ever said anything. I've had a few "oh, like..." but I've just smiled, thinking "who?" and just got on with my day.

Would you change it?

Is he called Jeremy Kyle?

No

The same full name do you mean?

Tell us!!

After 8 months it is his name now. If no one has really said anything then it can't be a huge celebrity.

All depends on the celebrity. What's the name? The last thread like this, none of us had heard of the celeb anyway.

Joey?

I'm dying to know the name now. Personally if you like that name then sod everyone else.

For what it's worth my Ds has the same name as a very famous character from a film series both me and dp are huge fans of (think collecting the memorabilia, dp has tattoos). Ds isn't actually named after this character, it's just a name we both love but everyone obviously assumes it's after the character. I couldn't care less.

You will have to say the name now!

Louis Walsh

I don't think that's too bad.

There was a girl at my DDs school called Grace Kelly.

It always made me smile a little.

Is your DSs namesake very famous? Is he likely not be be famous in 10 years time?

OMG. You'd never heard of Louis Walsh.

Is he Louie or Louis though.

That's not too bad

Easily forgotten as a celebrity as he hadn't been around much lately

Seriously? I think you're having us on

No! I actually hadn't he is Lou-ie

Hang on, I'll get out his birth certificate...

One of my dc has the name of a marvel superhero. I didn't know until well after he was named.

My dd went to school with a Michael Jackson. He wasn't teased all the children were fascinated by him abs thought it was fab

His name is fine!!! I was thinking something truly outlandish!

Oh, x posted.

I don't think anyone will think about Louis Walsh when your DS is old enough for his peers to be watching that kind of television.

It would be like a teenager today being called Jim Davidson, or something like that. Someone who used to be a bit famous.

You don't need to post his birth certificate!!

I have the same name as an extremely well known male rock star. It raises a few eyebrows and the odd comment, but not on a bad way. I suspect that Louis Walsh will not be that well known for that long. My namesake's heyday was a good 20 years ago, but people still know who he is.

Cute name, I think it's fine - not like Michael Jackson or something where you automatically think of the celeb.

Like Boris Johnson.
