Celebrity Influence?

[magcnurserybaby.livejournal.com]

My hubby and I rarely agree on girl names but we had long ago agreed on Erica........then Erica Christensen got big. Yes, that is also our last name, spelled exactly the same.

So am I right, would it be cheesy to use Erica now??

And I know I'm gonna get alot of "if you like it use it" but won't that be the first thought that comes to mind upon hearing it, in which case I don't want to use it?

I would seriously recommend looking in to alternatives, seeing as I once met a kid called Michael Jackson, and everyone automatically assumed that his parents must of named him after the famous guy, and we all said to each other 'I think I'd kill my parents if they named me after someone famous.'
We were 12 at the time.

You have a point, but Erika Christensen is neither as well-known or notorious for weirdness as Michael Jackson.

Yeah, but the thing is you never know what a celebrity is gonna do next; I still remember the days when Michael Jackson used to be popular.

Also a good point. And Erika Christensen is a Scientologist, I believe, so you just never KNOW...
