I say go with the name you like the best. Eugene is still a cute name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/same-name-as-celebrity#post-352563 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 11:20:05 +0000 jedeve 352563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: it sounds just like it, but with e's instead of I and o. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/same-name-as-celebrity#post-352555 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 11:09:21 +0000 loveisstrange 352555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, your name SOUNDS like Simmons? So, it's NOT Simmons? Then do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/same-name-as-celebrity#post-352550 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 11:02:44 +0000 jedeve 352550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He (if its a he) would go by Gene. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/same-name-as-celebrity#post-352544 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 10:57:48 +0000 rachiecakes 352544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE the name Eugene! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/same-name-as-celebrity#post-352531 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 10:41:37 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 352531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nah, I say go for it! Would you call him Eugene or Gene? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/same-name-as-celebrity#post-352527 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 10:38:59 +0000 jedeve 352527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So husband and I picked a name we loved last night if we have a boy. Eugene Robert. Eugene is his grandpa, and Robert is my father and my grandfather's name. The baby would go by Gene. </p> <p>Then at 5am I realized that our last name sounds like (but is spelled slightly different) Simmons. So Gene Simmons. Does that immediately rule it out? I mean, I wouldn't name a baby Tom Cruise or Meryl Streep, but is the only thing you think of with Gene Simmons the rocker? </p>
