Maybe it's a guy thing?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association/page/2#post-646048 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 22:01:45 +0000 marionberry 646048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Jemma from SOA too, but definitely not Jenna Jameson. I really like the name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-646030 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 21:48:40 +0000 littlebug 646030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, confession - I did think of Jenna Jameson. But Hubs didn't. He thought of Jemma from Sons of Anarchy. I even said, "It didn't make you think of Jenna Jameson?" and he said not at all. Guess we're weird. Or I am, at least. I think Elodie Jeanne is really pretty, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645928 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 21:06:51 +0000 pui 645928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never would have made that connection either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645921 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 21:05:29 +0000 Arden 645921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: I just asked DH about the name, and he said "Yeah? What about it?"<br /> He does know who Jenna Jameson is, but it didn't come to mind. So... I don't think guys will automatically go there. When I mentioned the Jenna he said "Yeah but didn't you say this one was Jemma? That's different." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645530 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:34:41 +0000 SweetMamaM 645530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would never have made that connection and I still wouldn't even after hearing that - but it is something both of you have to agree on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645504 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:18:57 +0000 Mrsbells 645504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont know any porn star names so that association never even crossed my mind </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645498 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:17:24 +0000 PBandBaseball 645498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Elodie Jeanne sounds super cute and I can't think of any horrible connotations with that pairing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645487 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:12:39 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 645487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jemma does not remind me of the porn star. My first thought was Sons of Anarchy matriarch and she is bad ass!</p> <p>I never heard of Elodie, but that's pretty cool. A friend of mine's nick name may work instead of the ubiquitous Ellie...Lodi as in Lodi Dodi we like trouble and we don't bother nobody. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645480 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:10:03 +0000 ladybee 645480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: not at all, I think it's cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645479 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:09:58 +0000 kjpugs 645479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: we really don't like girl names that are over the top popular like Emma. Maybe if Gemma was with the G? I dunno :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645474 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:07:14 +0000 LindsayInNY 645474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: Personally, I like starting the tradition of Jeanne as a middle name. I'm not totally sold on the first name though. Not sure why. If you and DH had less traditional names, maybe it'd be different? What about Emma? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645469 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:03:01 +0000 kjpugs 645469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Pamela as a middle name after his aunt but it doesn't sound good with Jemma. Maybe Jemma Effie after his grandma who passed away? I love Effie but it's hard to do as a first name. I'll bother him more about it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645464 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:01:32 +0000 kjpugs 645464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: LOL!!!! I don't think I'll convince DH either. I have to decide do I prefer Jemma, or having Jeanne in the name :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645460 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:00:44 +0000 LindsayInNY 645460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: Don't kill me... I emailed my husband and asked exactly this: "If you heard a girl's name "Jemma Jeanne" Lastname, what would you think initially?" His response: porn star or white trash =/ He's from MI so maybe the porn star reaction is a midwest thing?! LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645437 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:45:51 +0000 cheesetomywhine 645437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: My DH has a friend Ben. I ttold him that his middle name was James and I asked if he was ever teased. DH was like "his initials are BJ? I didn't know that!" So nope no teasing there lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645399 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:28:29 +0000 kjpugs 645399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PBandBaseball: LOL do boys even know each others' middle names?????? I think we all overthink everything! Or in this case I'm blaming my DH for overthinking it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645394 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:26:53 +0000 cheesetomywhine 645394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't think of that at all. So pretty! As is Elodie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645393 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:26:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 645393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PBandBaseball: If it helps, DH's first and middle initials are BJ and he is *proud* of it. I think he's such a dork, but it definitely doesn't bother him whatsoever. </p> <p>I think Jemma Jeane/JJ is really cute and did not think of the porn star, but you know, I'm female :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645388 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:24:16 +0000 LuLu Mom 645388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: I was obsessed with it (still am) but I don't know if I will be able to convince DH! I'm trying to think of another nickname, but I'm drawing a blank! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645381 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:22:28 +0000 PBandBaseball 645381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't think it at all. I actually think it's really pretty and it obviously has a lot of meaning.<br /> We've had some similar discussions about names and the hubs has vetoed some because he says they'll lead to teasing (i.e., Henry James would lead to HJ hand job references - WHAT?). I guess boys are just a lot meaner when it comes to that sort of thing growing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645362 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:16:01 +0000 Charm54 645362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't think porn star at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645358 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:14:26 +0000 tequiero21 645358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645355 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:13:46 +0000 kjpugs 645355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: oh Clementine is so cute! I just love that! I can see the appeal but also the other side, but sometimes I think unique names make a person more special? My mom's boyfriend's daughter is named Jemimah and they call her Mimah and while we made a syrup joke the first time we heard that, I think it's really cute now.</p> <p>@LuLu Mom: Isn't Elodie just so beautiful!?! If there was a nickname that I liked more I would be so much more into it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645342 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:09:59 +0000 Sweet T 645342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't think of Jenna Jameson at all. I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645329 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:07:31 +0000 Alivoo01 645329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't even think of the porn star at all!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645328 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:07:30 +0000 rachiecakes 645328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, didn't think of it at all. </p> <p>I loved the name "Clementine" (nn "Emme") and no one liked it. I was pretty sad over that. One of my closest friends kept referring to my baby as 'mandarin' and 'tangerine'. I couldn't unthink it. </p> <p>BUT - we had a boy. And we had a boys name.<br /> win/win for us, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645319 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:04:50 +0000 illumina 645319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds fine to me... Also could you have Ella as a nickname for Elodie instead? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645311 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:03:41 +0000 kjpugs 645311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wahhh. Just told DH that hellobee is 100% on my side and he said "They're not guys." Darn his logic.</p> <p>Anyone want to ask their DH or a guy in their office or something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-bad-association#post-645307 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:02:47 +0000 yourekindapretty 645307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>definitely didnt associate the name with jenna jameson until you mentioned it! even after i read it, i had to think about it and it still doesnt make me think of the porn star! </p>
