Now "Van Rijn" is quite common in Holland (where I grew up) but "Rembrandt" certainly isn't. He never had any problems with it though.

littleEDfamily Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 How did I miss this thread til now!!!? My heart was pitter-pattering at the posts discussing my second daughter's name (mostly nice comments thank goodness, but find myself wanting to scream 'DON'T STEAL MY NAME - it's mine -alllllll miiiinnnnneee!)Back to the OP - my husband desperately wanted Bailey for both our daughters. It's his mother's maiden name.I was not having it:1. It is a dog's name (labrador in my opinion)2. It reminds me of Party of 5 (that TV show about these kids raising themselves)3. Um... it's too American (despite the fact my kids have quite 'American names') Names I never got to use that I still like:Anouk AnaisGeorgiaAustinAliceCelesteHopeFaithMy cousin called her little one Boudica. We call her Boo. It's cute. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/16878-baby-names/page/6/#findComment-431628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillywoman Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Oooh, LEDF that is cute. Wish I'd had more girls - I found/find it much easier to chose girls names than boys.

sillywoman Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Word of warning though: always check the first name goes with the last name. Heard this week of a childhood friend whose parents called him 'Ewan', would have been fine except his last name was 'Kerr'.A 9 year old boy would take about 6 seconds to work out the potential of that one!
