When the boys were in Regina the other night they met a couple backstage who named their newborn son Jovi! My question is, do you love the band THAT much?

No, and it's ****ing retarded to give your child that name. Because this means he HAS TO LOVE BON JOVI. Which means he'll be brainwashed before he even gets the chance to develop his own taste. What if he doesn't like Bon Jovi though, he'll be forever linked to a band he doesn't like. ****ing idiots them.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

All the goldfish I ever had were Richie! But I don't think I'd go and call my child after a band member as much as I love them!

Agreed. You rob the child of having their own name. I think it's bad enough when you name a child after family members, nevermind pop culture references. Let the child have their own name.

Heh, I seem to recall Erik chucking a spazz at me when he thought I was serious about calling my kid Obi-Wan (Rest assured that if I went down the "Kenobi" route in naming a kid, I'd go with Ben ).

If I do ever have kids, I reckon they could end up being named after band members or footballers or even fictional characters, but not in a way that's inextricably linked to the reference. Apart from pre-empting who they are before they have a chance to figure it out themselves, I wouldn't want to give other kids more ammunition than I needed to.

That baby isn't the first kid called Jovi either. Has the band tried to meet all the others?

Absolutely - my husband and I carefully chose non-family member names for all our kids - other than last names of course. They even have different last names as the boys are named Adams after Paul and the girl Eldridge after me.

I have loved quite a few bands over the years but would never have named my kids after them. I even knew parents who named their kids after favorite vacation spots - a little girl named Jamaica comes to mind LOL

I wouldn't give my kid any name related to the band tbh but my mum has a friend in the school she works in who called her daughter Jovi as well. Some crazy folk out there!
