Would this put you off your chosen name? (See description)

Question

Hi all! I don’t know if I’m being dramatic or weird but we had a name picked out for our baby girl (not set in stone but one we were leaning most towards). I put her full name into google and it came up with a load of porn videos 🤦🏻‍♀️ turns out there’s a porn star with the same name. My sister thinks I’m being stupid but it’s kinda put me off. I remember googling my name as a kid for fun and I wouldn’t want her feeling traumatised 😂 
Would this sway your decision or not?

Answer

I would probably change the middle name.

Answer

I googled myself when I was 13 and it was an American pornstars name. I didn't feel any way about it, my sense of self isn't linked to those people with the same name. Also, sex workers or those in the porn industry aren't bad people and I just thought it was funny. I'd be more upset if I shared a name with a mass murderer or a school shooter, or some such shit.

Answer

So... your kiddo is probably about 8-10 years from googling herself. I’m guessing that content will still be there in 8-10 years 😕 I’d think about whether I want that to be what my kid finds when they search their name, or when other people...peers, employers, etc search the name. Obviously that’s a ways out and you can deal with it if/when it’s relevant. That’s where my mind goes though. That’s a tough conundrum! And a good reminder to google names I’m considering!
