Is she naming him Prince after Prince?

Would she at least consider Roger(s) or Nelson instead?

I just don't get folk naming their babies after celebrities they don't know.

I guess it's not really that different (or better or worse) than other random reasons for picking a name tho.

Like naming their baby after a soap opera heroine. That has happened MANY times. So I'm not surprised people name their kids after celebs.

My kids names r going to b Prince (prince rogers nelson), James (james brown), and Vanity (denise mathews)......i dont think there is anything wrong with naming ur kids after the people u love.

Personally, it creeps me out people love celebrities they have never met before. How can you love somebody you don't know so much you'd name a kid after him/her?

If I may, I'd like to advise anyone who's thinking about naming their kids after a celeb to think about it a little more and ask people about it you thrust and who aren't a fan of that celeb. Just my 2 cents.

right, think of those who decided to name their baby after Orenthal James... OJ??
