Would this association put you off your chosen baby name?, Google search.

DH and I are pretty much set on Evangeline (nn Evie) Winter if this baby is a girl. So I did a quick google search as you do to see what come up and the first site is apparently NYC's largest fetish producer Would this be a deal breaker on a name for you? Never heard of this company personally but I guess it's not really my scene so I don't really know how popular it is and what it's longevity will be.

Search hard enough and you'll find something to put you off almost any name. I wouldn't worry about it - it's pretty obscure. PS really like the names.

No it wouldn't put me off. Evangeline (Evie) was on my list too - DH vetoed it. We went with Genevieve (still with the nn Evie). Gorgeous name!

Never heard of it. If you like the name then go for it.

Not unless most people I knew were into the industry and knew the name.. Most people wouldnt know the name therefore get the connection and it is a beautiful name so Id use it.

If you were based in the states it may make me consider it carefully but since you are in Australia I think it wouldn't be an issue unless they had a huge online presence.

Nah.. Too obscure - and Evangeline is too lovely to ignore! There is a 'glamour' model with my exact name! I like to link her website to my facebook page - gives my friends a bit of a giggle.

Glad to hear no one else has heard of it QUOTE (twinboys @ 02/01/2013, 03:11 PM) If you were based in the states it may make me consider it carefully but since you are in Australia I think it wouldn't be an issue unless they had a huge online presence. This was my concern, while I personally hadn't heard of them I was worried others might have and be the first association they made when they heard the name.

Nope. Never heard of it ( and that goes with searching for steel boned corsets for my wedding- you come across interesting sites with that web search. Not something to do on you work PC at lunchtime)
