Michael and Jackson? Too much?

BritneyH88

Hi, 
my DS is 3 years old and his name is Michael. I'm pregnant with DS2 and my husband suggested the name Jackson.. Here is the problem, i love the name Jackson but a friend of mine told me that it isn't a good idea because of the late singer.. what do you think?

I legit LOL'd when I read the title.  It's just asking for endless jokes.  

edit: Also it's not just "the late singer" Michael Jackson was an ICON.

I would say that would not be a good idea.

Wayyyyy too much. 
Mark Jordan off the list, too while you're at it. Just not a great idea.

Yes, I'll admit I laughed too. It's hard not to make the connection. 

Lecool

It's impossible to NOT make that connection.

Way too much.

Personally, it makes me think of the (late) beer expert

Using this name would be a thrill(er)


Seriously tho. No, dude.

I'm finding it hard to believe it was your friend that pointed out the association with MJ?

Seems like you Wanna Be Startin' Something. Not only do I think it would be Bad, it might border on Dangerous. I'd do some name research and Don't Stop Til You Get Enough. If all else fails, you could use the name Ben.

I laughed at the thread title and laughed again at this. Good work!

Don't do it.  There are plenty of great names out there.  Don't saddle your children with a lifetime of Michael Jackson comments.

Only if you promise to have a daughter and name her Billie Jean

We have a family friend full on named Michael Jackson. But he's a few years younger so it's a total fluke. Trust me. You don't want to do this.

I think it's a great idea. Together, they will be Michael  Jackson the Legend.

emilie250

I agree with PPs that it's too much.

erniebernie1

Not a good idea

Don't use Douglas either. Or Bolton. Or anything else with a celebrity association.
