HelpRe: Which celebrity baby names bore you the most (more)?
in reply to a message by Perrine
I don't think Bear has ever been edgy in my lifetime. It's the same age as Fawn and Dawn and Misty in my mind...older than me, like a vintage fringe jacket.
I have an uncle called Buddy who's around 80. Sonny seems a similar style, would be in the same group as Junior or Sparky or Tripp. NMS.
Lennon reminds me of Lenin, and Monroe just seems ugly.
Wilder / Wild is one I can't even take seriously.
Ever is okay but trite; Everly is faddish but has more character.
I've met someone named Honey, and I actually felt hesitant to say her name because it seemed so over-familiar.
I like:
Hendrix (I also like Hendrik)
Honor (disliked until I heard it IRL)
Dove (I've met one, parents were religious)
Winter (I have a cousin with this as a MN)
Philip (also have a cousin named this)
Larkin (seems less tired than Lauren or Logan)
Josephine
Eloise
Sunny
Phineas
I like Ray, Rae, Rey, Jane, Jean, Joan, June, Jo as MNs. Yeah, they're fillers, but they're nicer as filler, like foliage in a flower arrangement. Rose and Grace make bad filler...or Rose does, and I just dislike the vibe of Grace, partly because it's trendy like Grayson and partly because it sounds insufferable to me.
I almost want to like Bodhi, Blue, Rebel, Apollo, Rio, Birdie, but I don't really. Pepper, Bowie, and fem James are meh. Bo is also meh, but I do like Po / Poe. Lark's a bit abrupt for me, but I like several names that have that sound in them.
River, Willa, and Shiloh are okay. I don't mind Saint either; it reminds me of a musing/quote by Leonard Cohen, as a word name.
Atlas carried the world on his shoulders: not a namesake I'd want for my kid, plus there's Atlas Shrugged, yikes.

To me it is younger than Dawn or Misty and goes more into the River, Fox, Wolf category (plenty of Wolfs in the celeb announcements too). But I have a hard time disliking nature names so I still sort of like them even though I am also annoyed by them.
There were several Tripps as well.
I forgot about all the Grayson, Gray, Grey.
I think Gray is the new Blue in the celeb baby world. They could at least be creative and google some colors. There are so many better ones that make good names such as Cyan. I like the color gray but it is so boring as a name already.
