No, I don't think so. There are way too many screwed up celebs with nice names not to use them...

Britney is still cool but I always wonder if ANYONE has used the name Orenthal or the initials O.J. since 1994.

Nah, I think by the time your dd grows up Britney will be long over, and Brittany will be another lovely name again.

ETA: I used to work w/someone from that region of France, and they said it's a popular girl's name there.

It's a pretty name and as long as your last name is not spears, I would not be concerned at all.

I can't think of one person who EVER had that name besides O.J.. Sometimes I am convinced that some people take a game of Boggle and spill out the letters at random to make a name. But thats just my own theory.

As for Brittany, I think it is a pretty name. If you want to get technical, it has three syllables instead of the two in Britney so it isn't the same.

I think you should use the name if you love it. We love the name Chelsea and I can't tell you how many people say "Ew, like Chelsea Clinton?"

I'd use it if it's a name you love. No one in her classes will understand any kind of Britney Spears reference. . . because if you ask me, her career has about 5 minutes left to it - by the time your daughter is in kindergarten, Ms. Spears will be out of the public consciousness.

I've heard this before and I really don't get it. Who wouldn't want a daughter like Chelsea Clinton? She's smart, close with her parents, has a career, no scandals even though her every move is being watched.

Re: Is this name ruined??

I think almost any name you use with be associated with something.

I'm naming my DD Laila, and I can't tell you how many people brought up Eric Clapton's "Layla" to me (a song I hate BTW). But I'm still using it, because I look at my name, Lisa. How many people bring up Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam or Mona Lisa. People are always going to say stuff like that.

I would use whatever name you want to use.

OOOOPS!!! sorry, I voted for the wrong thing. I voted that she would always come to mind--- but I didn't really mean that one.

Use whatever name you like. (as long as your last name doesn;t rhyme with Spears!)

I think it is fine to use it. When I hear the name Britney I do not think of Britney Spears. Actually for me Spears is part of her first name. I never just say Britney when I refer to the singer. Without the spears I just think Britney is a pretty name. Am I making any sense? Chat Icon
