HelpRe: Question
in reply to a message by Sabrina Fair
I don't think it's fair that people just assume others are just obessed fans of someone just because they use the names of celeb/celeb kids, sibsets etc.
...Yeah, and? Unfortunately, that's how life works.
A name isn't unusable just because a celebrity or a celebrity's child bears it--but if you like a name very heavily associated with a celebrity, you're going to have to understand that other people are going to make the association. If you can't handle that, it just means you'll have to find a different name to like.
Which is not to berate you but just to point out--if you really dislike people associating River with Phoenix, you're either going to have to learn to smile and nod or find some other way to honour God.

I don't mind people associating with River Phoenix at all. It's just when I said it's not for him, they kind of give me that "yeah right" look, that's what was concerning me. :) Thanks for your reply....

That is something that sucks, doesn't it? Literally the day before it was announced that some celebrity had a daughter whose name included Bebop, I was thinking to myself, "Bebop would be kind of cool as a name for a boy--if nothing else, it'd work better than Hot Jazz, Fusion, or Straight Ahead." I ended up dropping that idea like a hot potato, lol!

LOL, I was thinking along the same lines!
I have 9 cousins, 4 of whom have beaten me to having children. Not that I'm racing full-speed ahead or anything. One of them took my all-time favorite girl name. *sigh* The others had blah names, or actual ICK names, so I think I'm ok for now.
As long as I don't mention my favorite names in front of anyone in my family, I think I might actually get to use the rest of my list...
