Would this put you off a name?

DH has a very common surname. Two of the boys names we like we can't use because one would be the exact name of a sitcom character and the other would be the exact name of a video character. Would this stop you using a name?

Zelda, is that you?

I wouldn’t do it. I know a handful of people with names like that and the hate it.

It wouldn’t put me off (unless the characters were unpleasant in some way, I actually know 2 people called Tom Jones - so obviously quite a well-known link there! As far as im aware no one really comments?

Depends how well known. I didn’t even know there were specific naked characters in video games.

Named not naked!

I've known someone who had this. It always made me laugh but then you forget. Everyone would always mention it though.

If it's something like Ian Beale then yes it would put me off

Something like A video game wouldn't bother me

Depends how common the names are, and how much the character is called by their full name. Rachel Green - probably ok, because although Friends is famous the name is common. Jessica Day - definitely ok, because New Girl is not so widely known as something like Friends.

Bart Simpson - no.

Yes.
Would def put me off.
I would try and find another name. Why risk giving him a name that people can make fun of
