Re: US Celeb baby names

Some weird names I can appreciate. For example, I don't think Coco is that bad, although I prefer it as a nickname for Cosima or some similar name.
While I don't like word names, Sonnet is really pretty although nothing I would use personally. And because of that show "True Calling," which I liked and miss, I am used to hearing True, and find it different but not terribly bizarre. Still, True is not something I would use either.
Madelaine doesn't seem all that odd, but too bad her brother (or sister?) is Kyd, which is terrible. Kyd looks like nothing more than a kre8tive spelling for Kid. It's like naming your dog, Dawg.
And I was on another name blog where people were praising Scout, but I was personally floored, because I just think it is a travesty on a girl. I could live with it on a boy. However, I find it more suitable as a boy’s nick name or for a pet. Ok, I just looked it up here, and I guess it is a feminine name, but I still find it ugly.
Rumor has such a negative connotation to me. Word names are bad enough, but a word name about a word that I find personally spiteful, just doesn’t make any sense at all to me.
But the absolute worst are Jermajastey, and Tu Morrow - how can people do this to their kids?
I swear when celebrities name their babies it is more about them, and how cool and hip the names make them the celebrity parents look, than it is about the kids.
