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

Never heard of her!

@BlueLobelia

Oh no! At least it was just that though and not a porn star.

I just googled both of my children’s names and I’m in luck. Just some generic social media profiles for DD1 and nothing for DD2.

@ForThePurposeOfTheTape

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.

Funnily enough I worked with a Gemma Jameson and bless her she was tired of people saying "oh like the porn star HAR HAR"

I was not too bothered. For some strange reason (it was a US-based site, not sure if that made a difference) they seemed to think we had named DS by our surname. But there was alot of rudeness!

Isobel and Imogen are beautiful names. Wren is a very small brown bird. If that is what you like you could use Sparrow?

Add a second middle name?

Literally no-one ever calls or googles anyone by just their first and middle names. But I just tried for me and the kids...

DS - a historical scientist. (in actually fact DS has a name (first and surname) really similar to a properly famous person. We just considered all the angles, and did it anyway. Almost nobody has ever mentioned it)

DD - a love islander!!

Me - I found myself. Clearly no-one else has quite that combo of first and middle names.

Maybe spell it Isabel or Isabelle and then it won't even come up in google?

Apparently I'm a porn star too! Just googled my name. My middle DDvis apparently one too!!

Incidentally my DD and DS are unique in their name combinations- only they came up.

Isobel and Imogen are beautiful names. Wren is a very small brown bird. If that is what you like you could use Sparrow?

Are you trying to make some kind of point about Wren not being a valid name for a person?

I'm guessing that Wren is the middle name?

In general, I don't think it's an issue as the porn star is retired and older and won't become more prevalent. Also when you google someone's name you either do their first and surname or their whole name. No one googles first and middle name only.

I have a friend with a Wren, apparently it is a very old historical girls name.

I can believe it. It's not too dissimilar from Robin, is it?

The name Robin has nothing to do with the bird, though.

I am a bit divided. I loved the name Miranda for a girl but as a teen loved a song naughty miranda about a girl who killed and cut up her dad( i was a goth for reference ) i could not seperate the name from the song. I had a boy in the end but can you seperate the 2 or will ut always be a porn star name in your head now. As she is retired now son be at least 10 years before this kind if goggling wouldn't worry me.

It wouldn’t bother me. This woman will be 50+ presumably before your DD ever Googles her name anyway.

I’ve googled my name of course (we all have I guess?) but never ever just “first name middle name”. I google first name last name. Honestly, I kind of forget I have a middle name.

How likely is it really that she or her friends all google first name middle names and then if they do that they find this long retired woman and then even if they do, so what?

I googled my DD’s name before she was born (first name surname as I’ve never thought to bother first name middle name) and I also found someone less than desirable on Instagram but then there are so many accounts like that these days that it is kind of inevitable. Didn’t change my mind.

Could you insert another middle name to break it up so the association isn't as strong?

Isobel Alice Wren etc?

They're lovely names, why would anyone connect them with a porn star. If she's 7551 on the list, presumably a lot of people share their name with a porn star. Maybe I do, I've never thought about it. I wouldn't worry, choose the name you love.
