[Opinions] Re: BA - Fifth child in family
I find it fascinating that they changed the spellings of names that are already very unusual.I have so many questions. Is Kwaleigh actually Qualley? Did they name their daughter after Banksy the artist? Did they think the Y ending wasn't feminine enough? Dempsey makes me think of bread. Is there a supermarket bread company called this? It's an interesting choice for a name. In another world, Dempsey might feel quaint and vintage; I'm picturing a little boy with one of those too-big newsboy caps on, like a ragamuffin street urchin from Victorian London or the streets of Old New York. But it is too close to the word "dump" for me. Well, I'm always saying I wish people who like surname-names would be more adventurous. My wish came true.
