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

[Charlotteee1402]

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?

Eee, that scamp Kevin Rowland knew how to get publicity. The producers protested they would be accused of the error but KR whose idea it was allegedly said noone wouldn't get the joke (Guardian, 2002)
OP is your son like a young

Ahh yes, hadn't thought of him Milliobs. Maybe we should turn a tribute act of girls with horns nsnes used by boys?

Never heard of Louis Walsh. Nice name.

DP's mum (well into her 70s) has the name of a VERY famous thesp. She has an absolute blast with it on Twitter.

There were two Tom Jones' in my year at school. ( so it's not unusual... )

Louis Walsh is extremely famous! He has been on the biggest TV show in the UK for the past 10+ years where 8+million people watch him every Saturday and Sunday night.

I am genuinely shocked at people claiming he's not famous because they don't watch much tv!
It's a lovely name but I would laugh my head off if someone I knew named their baby this and I imagine most people would. I'd change it if it was me.

I too am surprised that some of you don't know Louis Walsh!

Drink -I havent owned a television for over 10+ years. Some of those years I have been based overseas where celebrity culture doesn't exist like in the uk and it would never be in the news for example. So why would I have seen a popular tv show? And why would I know who a man is who happens to be on that show that I don't watch and have no idea what they do?

Louis Walsh has been in the public eye for ages. You'd have to have avoided TV, newspapers and the internet for a good 25 years to have never have heard of him. That or be forgetful with names (which to be fair I am).

Lous Walsh isn't that famous and I doubt many of his peers will have heard of him. Not worth changing his name over, unless you want to anyway.

Oh absolutely not worth changing op's ds's name over, no. I'm just surprised so many posters say they've never heard of him

Art- then I don't think you are the right person to answer the OP's question. The majority of people in normal society do watch TV, read the news, go on the Internet and talk to other humans so a lot of people will find the name amusing.
