It wouldn't bother me at all

Both of my kids have gone by First Name Last Initial

DD2 shares a name with that baby's step grandma.
I think the "quality" of the celebrity matters. Sharing a name with a princess is a lot better than sharing it with North West the person.

I wouldn't mind as long as it didn't become insanely popular (like Jennifer was). My daughter has the same name as some major celebrity kids. My DH would probably feel the same as yours though.

It wouldn't bother me. I don't think George has shot up in popularity since their first born's birth? They're going to choose a classic name and even if it becomes popular it'll still be classic popular (like Elizabeth) which is much different than trendy popular.

I'm indifferent!

Plus, even if Alice becomes popular, it'll be popular for kids younger than yours, so I don't necessarily think your daughter will be Alice H!

I'd actually really dislike it? I'm due a few weeks after her, and we've had a name picked for months. I think it would drive me crazy to hear lots of comments about their name being the same, or asking if I named her after the princess. I'm not worried about the name being popular because all of the names on her list are already pretty popular. I'm bummed that we have the same taste in names. I know that's ridiculous and I've been blaming it on pregnancy hormones.

@kick641: it's probably more of a big deal since you're due around the same time. My dd was born around the same time as kourtney kardashians and I remember saying to my DH "ugh if she picks the same name as us we will have to pick another!" And I said it for the same reason- I didn't want to answer that question over and over! Luckily she picked something totally different.

It wouldnt bother me Alice is still on my short list for this one if its a girl.

Alice is an amazing name!!

I probably wouldn't care if I picked a super popular name, but if I picked a less popular name, then they chose it, I would probably be a little bummed.

It wouldn't bother me. In fact my grandmother pointed out that LO's middle name is the same as one of George's.

Both my kids could've been named after the royal family and I feel like I need to explain to everyone that they were NOT named after them. In fact I had wanted DS2's name before the first royal baby but then totally took it off our list when he was born. Well then we used it anyway. I feel like when I introduce my guys for the first time a lot of people give us side eye, but I think if it was just one of the kids then no one would even notice. Especially if yours is older!

I was due a week after Prince George was born, both of us were team green. I was a little worried that we would choose the same name and people would think we named our kid after the royal baby, but I have a girl and George was never on the list. I was definitely more worried about Kim K- our girl name starts with C and I was worried she'd be stupid and spell it with a K. Then I would have had to change it!

But if they name this current baby the same as my C I would kind of like it. I think the popularity of her name is on the upswing anyway, by probably not quite classic enough for the royals.

I wouldn't purposely do it either. And their use of the name George made me not like it as much!

I wouldn't mind, especially if I had already named my baby that. I would be a little upset if I was planning on using the name, but they announced it first, because I feel like everyone would think we were copying.

My son (George) was born just a few months after Kate had her baby. I was a little worried people would think we named him that because of the royal baby, and like you I also worried it would become a more popular name. I was just looking and couldn't find the social security results for 2014 but according to name berry it actually fell 36 spots!
