Baby name is a porn star...

[Flickie]

Would this put you off?

We've been trying to decide between Isobel Wren, or Imogen Wren. I'm 90% set on Isobel Wren but I just googled it for the first time and it's a fetish model and pornstar.

She doesn't seem that big, apparently ranked #7551 out of pornstars in popularity, if that's relevant.

Is this a no go now? Or does it not matter?

Just my luck

I would say no because of lot of people google their own name when they grow up. I think it was one of the first things I did google.

To be fair as long as you don’t tell her she is named after a porn star, it will be fine.

Literally wouldn't bother me at all. Think of it this way the day after your daughter is born someone else with her name could become a well known celebrity, porn star, serial killer etc.

At least you know about this person in advance but in all honesty it's highly unlikely anyone will Google her name and make the connection.

Can you use Isabelle or another spelling, I would change it sorry.

I've found her Twitter and she's now 40 and retired from porn. So she won't become like a huge well known name at this point. Does that help..

I'm so annoyed, I love the name!

Wouldn't bother me at all.

Surely given that she's already retired, by the time your DD is old enough to Google her name it the porn star results won't be that prevalent.

Is the porn star just Isobel Wren or Isobel Wren with your surname?

Would Wren be her surname or middle name? If it’s her middle name it wouldn’t bother me at all, I don’t think anyone is ever known by ‘first name/middle name’ and wouldn’t be likely to Google that either.

I think Wren is a beautiful name- would you consider reversing the order if it’s a middle name?

Will this bother you?

I have to say, I never thought to Google my DDs’ names. I figured if I didn’t know anyone with that name, it’s likely others wouldn’t either.

It wouldn’t bother me

I’d go for Imogen though, just because there are so many Isabel variants about, lovely names though they are

I’ve just googled it. If a search for my daughters name returned similar results I’d be looking for another name.

Is Wren your surname? If not, then I wouldn't think this would matter at all - some people may google their full name or first name and surname, but rarely just first and middle names, so this wouldn't matter to me personally.

Both Imogen Wren and Isobel Wren are lovely - I slightly prefer Isobel, but I'd maybe decide based on which nn options you like better, just in case (so Izzy/Belle or Immy/Ginny).

I have an Eva Marie. I only realised days after registering that that is the name of a busty glamorous wrestler.

And no, it wouldn't bother me. Isobel Wren is beautiful.

Wouldn't bother me, especially if Wren is only the middle name. Nice name.

My daughter's name is also a porn star. Doesn't bother me, if it was a really popular one then that would be different.

By the time she's older it will probably bring up different results

Wouldnt even occur to me to google a potential child's name...I think its fine

That would definitely put me off. I wouldn’t be able to forget the association unfortunately

As a side note, when did the name ‘Wren’ become so popular? I’d never heard of it two years ago but it’s on virtually every MN thread about girls names. Is there a famous Wren who has made it popular? Or does it just happen to be having a moment?

Wouldn’t bother me.

You can name a child and a year later find a porn star/serial killer with the same name. It’s really not worth worrying about.

If you google my mum’s very boring, normal name, you come up with a porn star. I hope that dm doesn’t have a secret job on the side

Your name choice is pleasant and normal. Any name you choose could end up being problematical...

I shared my name with a pretty famous pornstar growing up, but she was famous when I was a baby. DF found out about her after I was born. However, I didn't find out about her until I was naming my own kids when DF brought the story up- by the time I hit secondary school she'd become old news.

I wouldn't worry- no one will care.

I have to say, I never thought to Google my DDs’ names. I figured if I didn’t know anyone with that name, it’s likely others wouldn’t either.

I googled my DS's name and found our own birth announcement on a thread with people taking the piss out of it.

But yes, I would be a bit leery in the OP#s position.

I wouldn’t associate the name with a porn star, and I presume most people won’t.

There will be a porn star for every name. I admittedly wouldn't go for a famous one like Jenna Jameson but your combination means nothing to most people.
