[Opinions] Re: BAs from Variety.com
in reply to a message by Kate
Scarlett Rose-oh, please.
Ava Grace-pretty, but not original.
Avery Joyce-nice. I would call her A.J.
Penelope Carlin-love Carlin, hate Penelope.
Magnolia Agnes-that poor girl.
Lola Alexandra-I giggle whenever I see a Lola BA because of The Kinks' song. Alexandra is nice.
Violet Grace-Violet is OK, but boring. Grace needs to be done away with as a middle name; it's EVERYWHERE.
Cecilia Fay-nice.
Hannah Gilli-Gilli pronounced Jee-lee? Like that horrible Ben Affleck/Jennifer Lopez movie?
Scarlett Heavenly Love-is she a stripper? Sweet lord, what a horrid name.
Paloma Capri-capri as in pants? Man, some of these are awful.
Samantha Nichole-nice. I've always had a soft spot for Samantha.
Mia Sloan-kind of cool. I think Sloan would look better with an "E" on the end, though.
Finley Lane-sounds like a street name.
Gavin Kay-Gavin for a girl? No, no, no.
Olivia Christine-nice.
Romy Noa-Romy is cute, but I hate Noa. I swear, ever since it was revealed that Miley Cyrus had a sister named Noa, the popularity of the name has exploded. In my mind, it will always be a masculine name.
Madeline Grace-love Madeline, hate Grace.
Quinton Gideon-nice enough names on their own, but too rhyme-y together.
Jackson Alexander-I love Jack, but I never liked Jackson. I hate the surname-as-first-name trend. Alexander is OK as long as he can go by Alex.
Oliver David-nice.
Blaize Christian-eh, I'm not crazy about it.
Jack Newton-despite sounding like a kid in a nursery rhyme, it's not that bad a name.
Tyler Brennan-no substance.
Brighton Oscar-I kind of like this one, but I think Oscar Brighton would be better. Oscar is a cool name, and we don't hear enough of it.
Spencer Quincy-sounds like a TV detective from the 50's.
Coby Grant-another name with no substance. I hate cutesy names for boys, like Coby, Tyler, Taylor, Codin, Kaelin, Jaelin, etc. Yuck.
Cash Joshua-never understood the appeal to Cash. It sounds like a jerk's name to me. Joshua is nice, though.
Dasheil Jack-Jack Dashiel would have been better.
Declan David-I'm one of the precious few who actually likes alliteration, so I like this name. It sounds sweet.
Prescott Gopal-no. Just, no.
Jasper Joseph-OK.
Jack Irving-nice.
Jake Griffith-Jake sounds like a dog's name to me.
Walker Bryan and Thomas Henry-Thomas Henry is sweet, but Walker Bryan sounds stupid.
Ava Grace-pretty, but not original.
Avery Joyce-nice. I would call her A.J.
Penelope Carlin-love Carlin, hate Penelope.
Magnolia Agnes-that poor girl.
