So I really think you're ok! And I love that name combo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-opinions#post-2906138 Tue, 17 Dec 2019 13:53:11 +0000 Becky 2906138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all for allaying my fears! There was literally one other middle name we both agreed on, and the first name was already somewhat of a concession. Boy names are harder than girls for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-opinions#post-2906136 Tue, 17 Dec 2019 13:45:18 +0000 pachamama 2906136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>never heard of him. Love the name!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-opinions#post-2906135 Tue, 17 Dec 2019 13:44:20 +0000 agold 2906135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Becky: I would still use the name. He probably won't be going by his first and middle name very much. But as a person myself named after a famous person, I was always annoyed as a kid when people would routinely ask me if my parents were big fans of so-and-so. Yes, yes they were, obviously. But as society ages, I'm getting this question less and less. And as I myself am aging, questions like that don't even register as a bother anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-opinions#post-2906071 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 20:41:46 +0000 MrsSCB 2906071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never heard of him, though after googling, I see I'm familiar with his sons lol. And I'm typically pretty knowledgeable about celebrities, so this wouldn't worry me at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-opinions#post-2906035 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 13:41:44 +0000 graceandjoy 2906035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never heard of the actor either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-opinions#post-2906027 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 13:27:44 +0000 JCCovi 2906027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vaguely familiar to me but I wouldn't question it. It's a great name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-opinions#post-2906020 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 13:08:07 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2906020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not familiar with the actor and love the sound of the name. Also agree with others that middle names are not used frequently outside of our house so I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-opinions#post-2905984 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 11:04:13 +0000 josina 2905984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name, and haven't heard of the actor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-opinions#post-2905961 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 09:42:50 +0000 Becky 2905961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pollywog: DH’s name is Ryan and he wanted to name him Jack Ryan 🤦‍♀️ He hasn’t heard of the show or books because he really doesn’t pay attention to current stuff. So Jack Cassidy would be a concession!</p> <p>I think we’ll probably go with Jack Cassidy after hearing that most people of childbearing age haven’t heard of him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-opinions#post-2905951 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 08:28:00 +0000 Pollywog 2905951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally get it. I have a Jack and a Ryan. Ryan was born 3 days before the new Amazon show came out and every Amazon box had their names on it. I was like. "That's right. That's why those names go together so well"</p> <p>My view is:<br /> - I love Jack<br /> - You only use the middle name when he's in trouble<br /> - most people haven't heard of Jack Cassidy<br /> - if people have and mention it you can say you hadn't heard if him until you picked out the name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-opinions#post-2905941 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 07:10:19 +0000 Somebunny 2905941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never heard of him. I think it's a great name! I would still use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-opinions#post-2905935 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 06:43:19 +0000 LadyDi 2905935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’ve never heard of him! I wouldn’t change it. You love it and the name flows really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-opinions#post-2905933 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 06:30:50 +0000 catgirl 2905933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have heard of Jack Cassidy and I would think of him if I heard your LOs full name - but I wouldn't think it's bad. Just a quick mental note "oh like the actor." Also, once your LO is born most people don't use or think about someone else's middle name, in my experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-opinions#post-2905932 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 06:20:05 +0000 MACSUNSHINE 2905932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it! I have never heard of the actor. Do not let others change your mind. We don’t share names for that very reason, until we introduce our babes and they have no chance to comment. And we lock unique names so I know there are comments happening 😉 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-opinions#post-2905931 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 05:51:28 +0000 Becky 2905931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I finally agreed on a middle name for DS, making him Jack Cassidy O’veryirishlastname. I love Jack Cassidy and the slightly western feel. I told my mom and she said “Jack Cassidy, like the actor?” Boo.</p> <p>Have you heard of Jack Cassidy? Would you cross it off your list? </p>
