so, the office named the baby the exact name (first and middle) we wanted for this child if it's a girl. the first name is spelled one letter differently, but STILL. and it's ironic, considering that, years ago, i had ALWAYS wanted to name a girl child emma, after my great grandmother. friends pretty much killed that idea. also, another name we really love happens to be the name of YET ANOTHER character on a tv show we watch. i guess we'll just have to name this child bertha, if it's a girl, after another of my great-grandmothers. don't get me started on boys' names. BLARGH. VENTING.
yeah, yeah, we could go with our first instincts, but i don't want it to be asked or assumed that we were the biggest fans ever of jim and pam. goddamn it.

I love that name, and I think you should stick with it, and just tell the world how cutting edge you were, thinking of it BEFORE the TV shows did.
Does this mean you're def having a girl?
I know what you mean about popular names. When we were pregnant with Conall he was going to be Conall if a boy and Caitlin if a girl. When pregnant with Caitlin we debated using that name because it has become so popular in the past few years. We both loved the name, so we stuck with it. At least it is spelled differently from most girls in the US with that name. I hate that it is a "popular" name, but we still love it and it so fits her.
You could always replace one of the names with Jesus...or Octomont. Add an "e", and I feel it could be changed to the feminine :) I think you should stick with it. Think of all the Anne Margarets in the world, or Lisa Maries. If you had considered Angelina Jolie Adcock I think that might be weird. The Office baby? Keep it. It's good!!
No one will remember the office in a few years. Name her what you like.
