Re: Celebrity names for their babies
in reply to a message by Eilis
But Beatrice is aa completely normal name. And Coco just sounds like a nickname. think of all the poor kids out there called Table and Basket - and yes they do exist.

I think Beatrice is hideous, but that's beside the point.I said: "Just examples off the top of my head, whether their firstnames are "stupid" or not..."All I was doing was listing some celebrity babies and highlighting that their last names are hugely noticeable, not that they're cursed with these horrible first names. With celebrities and their children, or wealthy and well-known people and their children, last names oftentimes come with a whole lot of impact or meaning or whatever else you want to say about it. Again, in that case their families can be indicative of a whole different set of standards or rules or a lifestyle that is not necessarily the same as "ordinary" people. I have no idea what your Table and Basket reference is about.
