Sort of. If you’ve seen the John Candy movie Uncle Buck the two kids have the same names as my kids. Which I was completely unaware of until someone pointed it out at the baby shower for kid #2. |
Baby Shower?
Oh, you are in thestates |  |

If I recall correctly, a former landlord of the Swilland Half Moon was called Felix Stowe.
I had an Uncle called Charlie Chaplin |  | | |

Slightly off subject, but my wife and I named our daughter Etienne, after (imho) our greatest ever victory on foreign soil. We didn't really give the name much thought at the time .
A few years later, we moved to France to find out that Etienne was a boys name..... |
Just as well for your daughter that we didn't beat Lokomotive Leipzig. |  |

If anyone on here is old enough to remember the 70's TV show Bewitched, I was named after the lead male character.
My wife just so happened to be named after the lead female character.
True story! |  | | |

I knew someone called Nanette Newman some years ago, somewhat unbelievably. But it is true. |  | | |

Evening Durwood! That's remarkable. Unless you met through a Bewitched Fan Club that your parents were members of. | | | |

Bit mean to call your second child "kid #2." |  |

There was a boy at my school called Russell Prout.
Not famous, but quite funny. |  | | |

Darren actually, but I've been called worse! (Unless that was an obscure Bewitched reference that has gone over my head?)
And I can confirm we didn't meet through a Bewitched fan club and nor did we name our kids Adam and Tabitha... | | | |

It's a Bewitched reference, Samantha's mother deliberately never got his name right! Durwood was one she used to him.

Dropping HMHB references one minute, Bewitched the next. Some cultural divides getting spanned there, Phil. | |
