Same name as celebrity?

Question

So my fiancé and I both like Naomi. However his last name is Campbell.

This gorgeous woman is an English actress and model but I don’t want my daughter constantly being compared to her. If it were just the first name, we would without a doubt use it, but because they will also have the same last name, we’re kind of iffy. 
On the other hand, names get repeated throughout history substantially. She isn’t the only Naomi Campbell in the world. 
I just wanted to hear some opinions

Answer

I think by the time your baby is growing up, she won’t hear many comments about it. I’m sure she’ll hear some every now and then, but not so many that I wouldn’t use it.

Answer

I wouldn't use it personally... But maybe as a middle name?

Answer

I don’t even know who Naomi Campbell is 🤷🏻‍♀️ you should use it if you like it ❤️

Answer

Naomi Campbell is beautiful... but she’s been convicted of assault on 4 separate occasions. In the UK that’s common knowledge so I’d not personally go for it - but if she’s not famous in your country, then don’t let it stop you.

Answer

My daughter's name is Mila which wasn't super common when we named her and I've heard a thousand times "Oh you guys must really like Mila Kunis or did you name her after Mila Kunis". We explain that we didn't name her after her and move on. It's no big deal to us! If you like the name, then use it!

Answer

Mt friend is dating a guy named Carlos Santana (like the musician). I don't think it has negatively impacted him but he's certainly gets comments about it and jokes about it all the time

Answer

Double barrel her first name

Answer

I have the same name as the actress who was plays Darlene from the show Rosanne. Only a handful of people commented on it while I was growing up. It never bothered me.

Answer

My parents had a name picked out for me that happened to be a famous singer at the time. They ended up changing their minds and choosing a different first name. BUT, the singer faded in a few years and no one talks about her especially now. So I would say if you love the name do it. You’ll hear about the comparison for a few years and then like all things it will fade :)

Answer

My son and husbands name is Paul Stanley, like Kiss. It wasn’t intentional but it happened and very rarely I’ll get someone to make a comment like asking if we’re related or if we’re big Kiss fans and I’m just like I couldn’t tell you one song they sing so no there not named after him lol... no biggie
