[Opinions] Re: Celebrity baby BAs
in reply to a message by Sofia
OK, I'll admit it - I like Clover Elizabeth. In a very GP sort of way, but I think it's really... cool. Pretty, too.Josephine is very nice, so is Joan. And Viktor.
From what I understand, it's unusual to have a middle name in Croatia, isn't it?
So, how is it perceived when celebrities use middle names on their children?
Is it generally "accepted", just considered unusual, or is it dismissed as a "celebrity fad"? Just curious :-)I love Chaim, and I think Liam is ok.
I don't think they go together all too well, but then again, I read that Chaim is the boy's paternal grandfather's name. So I think that makes the combo alright after all ;-)

Middle names aren't the norm here, but they have always been used, so people don't see it as a fad (I went to school with a Zrinka Katarina, I have neighbours who used middle names and we have a number of writers/ actors, etc. with middle names, so people are used to it to an extent + Ana-Marija/ Ana Marija is common). It's more seen as an unnecessary bother, since both names are used all the time and must be on all documents.
