If a name you liked with your last name is VERY similar to a famous person. Would it sway you from using that name?
If it helps the person is a positive female historical figure. Not like Lindsay Lohan or something.

Yes, let's just say the name I loved if LO had been a girl, plus DH's last name would have equaled a famous Olympian and...that was a deal breaker!

@MoonMoon: haha exactly! And this person is much more recognizable than a Olympian! A historical ground breaking female if you will. Someone everyone knows, whether you're an American or not.

@locavore_mama: haha! No matter how positive the person's reputation, imagine being asked if you're named after them all the time, and you're not! It would be another thing if you deliberately wanted to name your child after the person, though, I could see that.
