Would you name your baby after a shop?  email this discussion to a friend?

Well, a woman who went into labor in a store called "John Lewis" in the UK decided to name her child after the store. Of course, this wouldn't work as well if you went into labor in some of the stores we have around here, like Wal-Mart and Target *laugh* ^_~ But would you ever consider naming your child after the place where you went into labor? Or perhaps the place where the child was conceived?

If you have any good stories of things like the above, please feel free to share. Also feel free to share your thoughts on the news story. You can read the rest of it here:

I don't want to consider my child naming after a store nor any place, but I may likely consider naming a store or any establishment from my child's name instead.

Ha, you've got a good point there. That would make a lot more sense, if you were opening a shop, to name it after your child. Good post. Thanks! ^_^

You know, I would take that as they just didn't have a name picked out yet. ha ha
I would hate to think that she may have gone into labor at Babies R Us...poor kid, he would be teased for the rest of his life! ha ha
I named my son after some yarn my mother was using to crochet a blanket for him.
I just kept staring at that name across the yarn my entire pregnancy and finally decided that Jamie would be a good name. ha ha

I never knew that! Jamie, is a yarn!! Hahaha! :D
But, that seems like a name. Not some weird looney name! Jamie is a beautiful or handsome name!! Great story! :DD

yeah i'd consider naming my baby after the store i went into labor in. John Lewis is a nice name so that would be ok.

hahahha i think there is a trend to name babies after the place where they were conceived, following on from the rich and famous. Broklyn Beckham is an example of this. iMAGINE THE SCENE, jON lEWIS, Shop window, McDonnalds toilets, hanging out of a car window going down the M6, where does it stop? ohhhhh what a wonderful life

The practice to name a place, a planet or an invention after the persons they are associated with is well known world over. Naming a baby after a place may also be a good idea to cherish. Nobody can haver any objection to it. After all the existing names must have been strage in the beginning. I fully agree with the idea if the parents so desire.

No I would never name my baby after a shop because it feels weird to me but if the name of the shop is beautiful then I will think about it.
