[Opinions] Re: Name your "celebrity" baby
in reply to a message by Ismene
I have a cynical view of celebrity baby naming, so let's see. As a celebrity, I'd want to be sure to pick names that would get me free publicity every time an article on "wacky" celebrity baby names was written, so:
Herbert Pei Thunderbird
Mildred Ella-Fitzgerald Bluebonnet
Names no one in their right mind would use to show how bold I am: check.
Names that obviously reference architecture, art, or jazz to show how high brow I am: check.
Names that are OTT odd to show how special I am: check.
Mission accomplished! If nothing else, these would get me near-daily exposure on Nameberry for years.
