Francesca Farago's and Jesse Sullivan kids' names
There's this lady and her husband who were apparently on reality TV who went viral a couple months ago for their strange, to put it lightly, list of potential baby names. This list was mostly words (Evergreen, Malakyte (Malachite), Euphoria, Traveler, Eternity, Baby, Lyrics, Sunday, Monday, November, October, Rocket, Stone, Afternoon, Orca, Piano, Novel, Scholar, Evening, Labyrinth, Elixir, Coven, Rhapsody, Shadow,) but included the occasional actual name, which they decided against (Wilhelmina, Astoria, Clementine, Octavia, Calliope, Callahan, Sylvester, Valentino, Valentine, Lazarus, Malakai, Leland, Aristotle)
She recently gave birth to her twins:Poetry Lucia (f)
Locket Romance (m)Lucia is pronounced (LOO-chee-a), after a relative. Locket was named after a piece of jewellery their dad gave his wifethey also have an older half-sibling whose name is Arlo Bear.wdyt?

I try hard to be a positive person, but they need to remember they're naming adults. Lucia is pretty and although I dislike Poetry, Lucia Poetry could be a more rational name. Locket Romance sounds like it was put together from a random name generator. I think Lochlan would have been 10 times better and Romance should be scrapped altogether. Romance is a genre, not a name. Imagine he was named Locket Horror or Locket Drama.

Honestly, Lucia Poetry would have sounded pretentious but better than Poetry Lucia. Locket Romance is terrible and sounds like a scrapped stage name for a 2000s goth/emo/scene band consisting of middle schoolers. I don't get why influencers, at least some of them, give their kids such weird names [Random nouns they think sound good, inanimate objects, etc.]. It's incredibly narcissistic and only reinforces the whole "My kid is an extension of me and my quirky fantasies, not a person in their own right," idea that some celebrities seem to have in my opinion. TLDR: I don't like either of them.

I like Arlo, but not Bear. Lucia is ok, not a fan of Poetry.Locket Romance is just ridiculous. I guess they got the attention they wanted.
Eesh...I'm not a fan of their children's names at all, personally. However, I do like the names Francesca, Jesse, Lucia (only pronounced as "Loo-SEE-uh" preferably), and Octavia.
Locket Romance sounds like a cheap romance novel, poor kid. However, when I was 16 I briefly thought Locket (or Lockette lol) would be a cute mn for a girl. Lucia is very pretty. Honestly I prefer Poetry over Poem or Poet which I’ve seen mentioned on Nameberry forums. It’s still a silly name though.
They sound exactly like the kind of names a reality-TV family would use. Probably one where the parents' combined IQ just breaks 100.Every boy wants to be named after a piece of ladies' jewelry.
Seriously. It's a good thing Dad didn't give Mom a watch or a nose-ring.
What is really disappointing is that their pathetic attempt to attract attention actually did go viral. I wonder if they saw the 18th century link? Lucy Locket lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher found it;
There was not a penny in it,
But a ribbon round it. It became a nursery rhyme, but originally Lucy and Kitty were London prostitutes, and I'd guess those were their professional names.
I think this is a prime example of "celebrities" (I put it in brackets because I have no idea who these people are) trying too hard to be cool and ending up looking ridiculous. These are human beings not dolls. I like quirky middle names but don't give the children first names that may have teasing potential.
I only like to Calliope and Malakai. Arlo is ok
