i am supposed to be having a boy in 3 weeks and picked my name only to find out yesterday that stupid Matthew McConaughey had a baby and used the same name. should i still call my baby this name or will he be one of a million with the same name in 5 years? i am all annoyed.

I'd be more concerned about that blardy Jacob out of the bible nicking your name.

Once people start reading that bible thing there will be 4 Levis in every class, guarantee it

PussinJimmyChoos · 16/07/2008 22:27

Levi is nice - go for it...

Matt McConaughey is mmmmmmmm

I thought some stupid sleb had called their baby 'It'

Ceelo · 16/07/2008 22:28

Don't I feel the fool

I was mixing him up with Owen Wilson!

Own is much nicer than Mathew McConaughey, why did I mix them up>

Sorry, I'm with the person who said 'err... it's a brand of not very fashionable jeans'

Sod, McConaghey.... think of the naff jeans conotations!!!

goodasgold · 16/07/2008 22:28

Stick with the name you like.

ssd · 16/07/2008 22:29

don't be silly

its a nice name, go for it if you want to

OverMyDeadBody · 16/07/2008 22:29

and don't feel attacked on your name choice, all that matters is what you like!

Boco · 16/07/2008 22:29

There's a boy in dd's school called Levi and he's so lovely - all the younger children adore him. I don't know why I'm telling you this, but it means that I think it's a good name and you should certainly use it.

expatinscotland · 16/07/2008 22:30

Levi's an Old Testament name. Third son of Leah.

Who cares if some sleb uses it?

expatinscotland · 16/07/2008 22:31

as far as the jeans connotation, they're called Levi's because the man who created them was called Levi Strauss.

man, there are some ignorant folks in this world.

Ceelo - if you like the name, use it!

I don't dislike it tbh, just found your OP mildly amusing .

unknownrebelbang · 16/07/2008 22:33

Yes, expat, I knew that.

youcannotbeserious · 16/07/2008 22:33

But, they are still a bit naff, though...

QueenyEisGotTheBall · 16/07/2008 22:33

i wouldnt be bothered about whether an actor has called his child the name you chose as you are not likely to bump into him in any normal everyday situations (even if you do live on the same continent as he does)
also at those who dont know who this sex god actor is hes a FOX!!!!
hello gorgeous
xx ei xx

thisisyesterday · 16/07/2008 22:34

I love the name Levi, would def use it if I were you

zippitippitoes · 16/07/2008 22:35

QueenyEisGotTheBall · 16/07/2008 22:38

zippitippitoes · 16/07/2008 22:38

OverMyDeadBody · 16/07/2008 22:39

I used to go to school with a Levi; unfortunately he became a yardie & is doing a long stretch.
