HelpRe: Whimsy Lou Smith
in reply to a message by Amandine
He has 4 kids and is only 25. I would much rather speak about that phenomenon than the names him and his partners picked. I feel like he lives in a different timeline from me, but maybe that's because of his financial privilege. I was raised on "Don't have kids until you are 30, finish school, and have a well-paying job", so my values probably differ.
I can't even talk trash about celebrity names anymore... if I was successful and influential, I would name my kids something that, should they trend, I can be proud that I was responsible for the trend. I really like the name Blue, and Whimsy as a NN for a daydreamer or Honey as a NN for a sweet person. The other names sound like NNs I would not like to hand out. I don't really like Lou as NN or otherwise, but it sounds cute, neighborly and rural as MN.
To make things square, I will name some hypothetical children in a similarly bold fashion, assuming that societal rules have absolutely no bearing on their futures or my opinion of myself. Considering their flow and imagery only:
Boys:
1.Talon Cage
2.Tamzin King
3.Storm Wolf
4.Topher Castiel
5.Casimir Eve
6.Jaxon Grier
7.Crimson Ruth
8.Audrey Ciaran
Girls:
1.Myth Harmonia
2.Orion Topaz
3.Golden Serenity
4.Plum Valentine
5.Rosamund Lolita
6.Celestine Butterfly
7.Indigo Araminta
8.Emerald Star

Those people don't need to finish school and they can afford people to raise them.
I would want my names to trend too, but I wouldn't want it to be weird names like these! I'd try to bring to the mainstream names I think are underrated, like Kalliope and Serafina.
My main thing is that I would want boys to have more names that are unisex for them, too. Unisex names in English culture are not truly unisex because many of them are not seen as attractive on males anymore. Whitney and Shirley are never coming back for them, but hopefully others can?
I think Whitney could come back, but Shirley is probably too old-sounding in general.
I really like Courtney on both genders, anyway.
