I was seriously considering the name Alicia for DD. It's such a sweet, classic name :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2128716 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 19:18:37 +0000 TraceyJoy 2128716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2128669 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:16:04 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2128669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Their sons name is George and I really haven't seen that name skyrocket in popularity at all since his birth so I don't really see it being that way if they have a daughter either. Maybe in the UK it is different? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2128631 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 17:46:58 +0000 NovBaby1112 2128631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2128570 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 16:55:23 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2128570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't do it on purpose but what's done is done! </p> <p>I unfortunately apparently named my boys after characters in a teen fantasy series. The first movie is coming out soon. Think Katnis/Peeta basically. Oh well!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2128520 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 16:12:09 +0000 mrscobee 2128520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't purposely do it either. And their use of the name George made me not like it as much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2128518 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 16:10:47 +0000 WinterBee 2128518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: I wouldn't purposely want to, (as in I wouldn't name my child after a celebrity) but I wouldn't care if my beaners did happen to share a name with the royals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2128493 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 16:02:05 +0000 Foodnerd81 2128493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2128260 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 13:52:52 +0000 Tidybee 2128260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wouldn't bother me if my baby was already born...If they named her the same as DD1, I would love it. However, being pregnant with LO #2 due in July, I'm afraid if such a high profile person chooses our name for a LO and then it seems like we copied them a few months later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2128246 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 13:48:55 +0000 skipra 2128246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2128157 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 12:51:16 +0000 lamariniere 2128157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: same here, DS's first name is the same as one of Prince George's MNs. </p> <p>I wouldn't mind at all. I mean, names are bound to be repeated by someone famous somewhere. I have a fairly uncommon name but I share it with a famous singer (spelled slightly differently). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2128151 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 12:48:05 +0000 jhd 2128151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wouldn't bother me. In fact my grandmother pointed out that LO's middle name is the same as one of George's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2128057 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 11:44:15 +0000 msplatypus 2128057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always loved the name Alice!</p> <p> But I'm such a brat about having a unique name. I have an odd name spelled in a strange way Ravin (sounds like Raven) and I used to get so mad when I was a kid and other people had my name, like Raven-Symone). So my Los name is also unique. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2128008 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 11:16:27 +0000 littlejoy 2128008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alice is an amazing name!!</p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127981 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 11:06:44 +0000 coopsmama 2127981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In your case it wouldn't bother me as your Alice came first! I would probably change my name choice if my child was due shortly after a royal birth and was going to have the same name, though. I just wouldn't want people to think I chose it because of them.</p> <p>M shares a name with a few celebrity kids. I didn't even realize that until after we named her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127964 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:58:17 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 2127964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wouldnt bother me Alice is still on my short list for this one if its a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127962 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:57:01 +0000 fairy 2127962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They tend to choose classic names, so it wouldn't bother me because the kid would share a name with many more people besides the royal baby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127952 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:53:02 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2127952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127948 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:52:28 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2127948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love classic names, which is what royals tend to lean towards when naming their children, so it wouldn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127946 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:49:45 +0000 kick641 2127946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127937 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:46:34 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2127937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I had to choose I'd rather my children not share names with anyone super famous but if it's a normal name like Alice, no big deal. And I'd much rather my child share a name with their baby than most other celebrity babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127930 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:43:17 +0000 blackbird 2127930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm indifferent!</p> <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127924 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:39:25 +0000 meganmp 2127924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of want it to happen! My kiddos are John and Elizabeth, so sharing of a name is very well within the realm of possibility. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127900 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:26:21 +0000 lawbee11 2127900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127890 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:22:45 +0000 BSB 2127890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't bother me either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127885 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:21:02 +0000 twodoghouse 2127885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Ha, that's the celebrity I used as an example to DH about not wanting the same name. Luckily I think Kim K and I have different taste in names. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127884 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:20:53 +0000 loveisstrange 2127884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C shares her name with quite a few royals and celebrity babies.</p> <p>Meh. It is what it is.</p> <p>Alice will never be like the Tiffanys/Jennifers/Sarahs/Ashleys/Heathers of the 80s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127881 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:20:04 +0000 catlady 2127881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127880 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:19:38 +0000 autumnlove 2127880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't bother me at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-your-lo-to-share-a-name-with-the-royal-baby#post-2127879 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:19:12 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2127879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD2 shares a name with that baby's step grandma.<br /> 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. </p>
