Demi Moores. I can't, can I?

I promise it's not after the actress. I've had Demi in mind my entire life. I've bloody gone and married into the only surname that I can't really use it with!

No You can't. You Just cant.

Would you be able to use Moores as a middle name instead and then use your maiden name as the surname?

Nope. Middle name only I think.

My sister had this dilemma a couple of years ago and just couldn't do it. The person is too famous to not recognise the name.

I always loved a name growing up but then married a man with a surname that rhymes! ie Joe Toe but obviously not those names.

Definitely a middle name.

If your surname was Mann, could you call your daughter Isla? I think you need to let go of Demi, sorry.

I always loved the name Harry; but I married a potter...I couldn't do it )-:

I like Jessica, but married a Simpson!

No, you can’t.

But it’s honestly not a great name, so you’ve done yourself a favour, really.

You can't do that to your kid.
I wanted Dd to be Julia didn't happen with our surname

I don't see why not. Except Demi means "half". Is it short for something else? Jemma, Jamie, any use?

No I wouldn't

Call her Bobbie.

Give Demi as a middle name.

Also avoid Mandy and Yorkshire

You also have a surname...?

Luckily you can't.

No. It's awful, anyway. It literally means half, or a partial amount.

Well of course you could but I definitely wouldn’t.

You’d get very bored of everyone finding it funny/commenting forever.

Demi as a middle name maybe?

I have a coworker with the last name Spears who named her daughter Britney.

I would not make a similar choice.

😁😁😁

I have , through work, seen the names Elizabeth Taylor, Ronald McDonald, Dolores Parton and a Mrs Blackadder.
If you like Demi Moore just use it. It’s not as if she’s a state figure or serial killer.

Anybody here share a name with a celebrity?

I worked with a Christian Slater who hated any reference to the famous actor.

Surely no one below the age of 30 even knows who she is anymore? If you love it then go for it.

Just because you can do something, it doesn't mean you should.

Also, it's strange to name a baby with a word that means "half"... the literal implication being that the baby is lacking in some way.
