Oh and I’m in IL and I saw a name change done at a county building…the new name is “Pussycat Doppleganger”….NO JOKE. And this girls original name was like Jennifer Willis or something quite normal….figure that one out!!!

I didn’t bother to read all of these posts…I am a HUGE 311 fan and I just wanted to add that “Echo” may also refer to the fact that the parents basically have the same name (Nick/Nikki), so it’s an ‘echo’….just a thought!

My daughter is 12 and her name is Echo as well. I think it is such a beautiful name and it makes me sad when soo many people judge what parents choose to name THEIR child. Oh..and just to let you know my daughter has gone to several schools all over the U.S. and has NEVER been teased because of her name

This name is all about music. When two artists come together they bring greatness. Echo is beautiful.

@ post#41:

Actually, there isn’t any specific law in Canada regarding “eccentric” naming – unless the name is, as in the US, considered cruel or obscene. The case you’re referring to in Quebec was argued under Quebec civil law, which (for complex political reasons) operates under completely a different system for most day-to-day matters.

But seriously, do people feel the need to surf this blog just to find out what “crazy” name celebs are bestowing on their *traumatized* children? Wouldn’t it be great if all D-listers and above would just name their kids “MAx”? Oh, wait….most of them do. And it’s boring as $%&^.

I don’t think Echo sounds attractive at all. I think it might become more popular because of the character on the show, Dollhouse.

I think the name is pretty cool. And just a side note about the name “Bambi”, thats sometimes a nickname for Barbara. At least they didn’t name her another “Nick” name between Nick + Nikki LOL.

Jennifer, I don’t think they chose the name from the Incubus song, but you do knoe they used to tour with them, right?

I’ll be seeing them (311) in a few months and I’ll ask Nick where the inspiration came from. I have a feeling it has to do with mythology.
