2.5 years in with a risky name, I’m glad we went for it (for now)
A few years ago we found a name we absolutely loved. It worked in both our languages, was easy to pronounce and spell, and it wasn’t in the top 100. however, it was a risk because the name is identical to a mononymous a-list celebrity.
We were worried that our daughters would be lessened because it belongs to someone else. Nearly 3 years in this is not a concern at all. we have only ever twice even gotten something like “X, like X the singer??”. Our daughter has totally owned and rocked her own name.
Of course if this celebrity goes on to have some terrible scandal or be a terrible person, this could all come undone, but so far our worries have not been realized. I’m so glad we went for it.
