I've wanted to use them since forever because they are my great grandmothers' names. Too popular now.</p> <p>ETA: how could I forget: DH and I were holding onto the name Mateo, nn Teo if we ever had a ds. The whole Manti Te'o thing kinda ruined it for us :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-that-have-been-ruined#post-667676 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 10:04:24 +0000 yourekindapretty 667676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love the names Mina &amp; Hannah but i have too many friends with those names so they are a big "no no".<br /> I also love Esme - but my hubs refuses to use a name associated with twilight.</p> <p>We also were [--] this close to considering "jessica" as our fail safe name for our little girl, but then we associated the name with a Jessica we both knew in college and disliked, so that's out the window. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-that-have-been-ruined#post-667552 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 09:31:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 667552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jacob-- stupid Twilight. Such a beautiful name, but so popular and so connected to Twilight. Otherwise, just a few that have gotten SO popular that I couldn't do it. Jack is my all time favorite name, probably, but 1) it sounds a little bit funny with our last name, but 2) it is so popular right now and I have, like, 4 FB friends with baby Jacks born in the last year. Why do we all have to think alike?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-that-have-been-ruined#post-667451 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 09:11:54 +0000 heffalump 667451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@reyorra: we could, we could even just use the first initial if we want. But for lo we used the exact names of our relatives so I'd like to do that again for lo #2...... But we can't seem to agree on any so I don't see it happening anyway. Luckily we aren't TTC yet so I have awhile to worry about it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-that-have-been-ruined#post-667425 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 09:01:03 +0000 reyorra 667425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: couldn't you use another name that is similar to Anna so that it isn't so weird for you? Anita, Annabelle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-that-have-been-ruined#post-667423 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 09:00:27 +0000 BKCaribBaby 667423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Simone.

What was that... 50 shades of grey! Sure those names will be popular as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-that-have-been-ruined#post-667298 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 08:19:02 +0000 pui 667298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: I like all of them too, but I bet they are going to be some of the most popular names in our children's generation. I also don't want people to be like "Oooh her name is Bella? You must be a Twilight fan!!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-that-have-been-ruined#post-667296 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 08:17:16 +0000 LuLu Mom 667296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Deven for a boy, unfortuantely an ex ruined that one. Other names that have been ruined by people or TV shows: Leah, Bella, Jace, Aubree, Audrey, Carter, Morgan, Makenna, Brady. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-that-have-been-ruined#post-667294 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 08:16:49 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 667294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: THIS! Except we named our MC Gabriel (messanger angel) now I wish we could use it for a earth baby becauee its a really cute name. DH thinks we can still use it but I think our children should have their own identities.</p> <p>@pui: I liked all three of those names. They are strong classic names, to bad Twilight killed it for you! </p>
