[Opinions] Celebrity BA: Ne-Yo has a daughter
American rapper Ne-Yo (real name Shaffer Chimere Smith) and his girlfriend Monyetta Shaw welcome daughter:Madilyn GraceWDYT? I like the name but would prefer Madeleine Grace or could even stretch to Madelyn Grace. But considering some of the names other rappers have given their children I think this is nice.

Wow, you're right. Compared to other rappers' baby's names, this is pretty tame. At least her middle name isn't as boring as, say... Rose or Marie.

Well, he's not a rapper, but I would prefer just about anything to the name that he gave his daughter.

Not bad. The Grace part is ho-hum, but I don't mind Madilyn. I prefer Madeleine, Madeline, and Madelyn though.

NMS but it could have been so much worse. Perhaps Madilyn honors a family member.

Wow that really surprises me...How often do you see a celebrity give their child a "normal" name? I personally don't like Madilyn (or any of the other spellings but you're right, it could have been much worse. I love Grace as a middle name :)

Madilyn Grace is pretty boring but it's at least a real, normal name. Chimere is interesting. In French the word chimère is the word for a mythological creature. I don't know if the word exists in English. Monyetta is terrible in my opinion but then I can't really stand most names ending in -ette and -etta.

It's ok, but I prefer the spelling Madeline. I'm not such a fan of creative spellings.
But it's true, compared to most celebrity baby names it's a nice, "normal" name.
