Re: Cruel?
in reply to a message by Katie
Do you think it'd be cruel to name a kid.. well... any of the following?
Ruby Tuesday no. Personally I'm not familiar neither with the song nor the restaurant
Clark Kent not "cruel" maybe but silly. The kind of name a comic-obsessed teen would pick
Lois Lane see above
Robin Tunney not familiar with the reference. Tunney is ugly
Albus Severus see Clark Kent
Sirius (mn) possibly ok as a middle name
Draco Christian Draco is off-limits until the Harry Potter craze dies out. with Christian it's a bit odd
Constantine (mn) perfectly fine. Don't see what bugs you about it, is it the -ine ending that may look feminine?
River Phoenix why would you want to name a child after someone so ill-fated?
Chandler (mn) ok as a middle name
Richey James don't get the reference, but Richey won't age well at all
Ponyboy this name is not fit for a human being. Yes, I'd say it's cruel. Imagine someone going to a job interview, and introducing himself as Ponyboy Smith
Sodapop see Ponyboy
Anakin (mn) bearable as a middle name, albeit nerdy
Marlon (mn) fine as middle name
Silvester (mn)ditto (ok also as fn)
Amadeus (as a mn) tritto (ok also as fn, possibly)
Cash (prolly just as a mn) ok as a middle name, though it reminds me of cash as in money
Gerard (mn) perfectly fine name. Don't see why it could be considered cruel
Chad (mn) see above
Buddy Holly don't get the reference, but looks silly
Jovi looks nicknamey and the sort of name a teeny-bopper would pick
