[Opinions] Re: Whimsy Lou Smith
I saw her video about names she thought of using and it was like Cherry, Odie, Pepper, Dawn, Bubble, Pear (f) and Frosty, Sunny, Silver, Zen, because they were "unique". Someone needs to tell these people that a name doesn't have to be a word to be unique! There are plenty of uncommon and interesting names out there that aren't just random words! I guess when you're rich, you can pay for your kid's therapy. It wouldn't matter as much for rich people, though, because they will automatically get respect for their family's money, and they won't be applying for normal jobs where people will judge their names.
It seems weird names run in the family. The dad, Lucky Blue's sisters are called Pyper America, Starlie Cheyenne and (the normal one) Daisy Clementine.
Whimsy Lou is terrible (why couldn't she just have used Dawn??), but better than the others in my opinion. At least the middle name is normal and the first has a somewhat positive meaning?
Rumble Honey sounds like trail mix, but Honey is more tolerable than the others, though Rumble might just be the worst individual name.
Gravity Blue sounds like an energy drink. Gravity is stupid, but it doesn't sound as bad as Rumble. Why not Amity or Verity? Blue is okay as a middle name, but with a weird first name it leaves no normal name to go by.
Slim Easy is the worst of the bunch. It sounds like a rapper name, but also super creepy, and not in a "cool way", which may have been what they were going for? The name makes my skin crawl.

I feel like I would have preferred Zen Cherry. But I guess that doesn't fit with Rumble and Slim as well. They could have used Zenith maybe.

I’m just glad they didn’t settle on FROSTY!
I agree with it being the best of the names. At least it has a somewhat soft sound and a good meaning.Rumble I personally just don't understand. It doesn't have a positive meaning. Same with Slim. I would understand Love, Lovely, Rainbow, Angel, Wren etc. because they have good meanings. But Rumble? Isn't that some kind of fight or something your stomach does? The name will be difficult to bear. At least she has Honey which is sweet and Whimsy has Lou and Gravity has Blue, which isn't that out there. But Slim doesn't have an option. They seem to call him Slimy (I hope pronounced Slimmy and not sly-mee).I don't find his or the siblings' names to be on the same level. They all have good meanings and Daisy and Pyper (except for the spelling) are/were top 100 names. The middle names are just on paper. And Lucky and Starlie at least have good meanings.Dawn and Silver are so normal and nice.I'm wondering what will happen if they are the slightest bit overweight. Must be hard with a name like Gravity, Slim or Rumble.They seem like a lovely family and I wish them the best, but the names I find hard to understand. I'm sure they have their reasons. I love the mum's cooking video, though, and they seem like good parents, lovely people and great cooks.
