Can I call her Samantha Jones?

[SBMJLJ]

Not long left to go and we still can't quite decide on a girl's name (we know it's a girl). I have always liked the name Samantha and was quite set on this for various reasons. Firstly, I wondered what others thought of this name?

Secondly, one niggle is that someone has recently said that Samantha Jones is a character from 'Sex in the City'. I don't think this matters as I would have thought this programme would not really be remembered by the time she is old enough and is only a character name rather than a real name(and not so well-known as Bridget or Grace!).

Also, whilst there are a few others that I like, finding one that a very fussy partner likes is near impossible and he actually likes this one. He only liked one boy's name that I came up with out of a huge list and this is the name of our son, but there were no potential association issues.

Going around in circles and only a few weeks left with no new suggestions.

What do you think?

I think it's rather nice, and by the time she's old enough for her peers to make the connection SATC will be long forgotten.

As Tinkerbellesmum says, there's going to be quite a few Somebody Jones about, you just can't worry about it. There's a Martha Jones at dd's school, she's enjoying the cool Dr Who connection!

I went to school with a Samantha Fox. she dealt with the association pretty well. Its all about will she be teased mercilessly in the playground. children would not be watching SATC (I hope!) so she'll be ok I'd think.
