HelpRe: Celeb BA
in reply to a message by Bitey
In my opinion, not when you're famous. I expect celebrities to set trends and do weird things, not pick two names out of the top 20.

Maybe they could do it without using their children to accomplish that...
Not saying celebs have to choose names within the top 20, but IMO it's stupid and cruel to use your child to 'stick out'.

Agree with Ninor.

TBH, I don't find "Audio" or "Pilot" particularly cruel. Unusual, different, sure, but cruel? Not really. Audio sounds very much like a name, and career-type names aren't really that wild either.
And the names don't have to be like, wacky like the examples. Angelina Jolie did it well-- Maddox, Knox, Vivienne, and Shiloh all charted after she used them-- she "set a trend" (which is what I meant "I expect them to set trends"-- I literally meant in baby naming).
And of course discretion should be used. Stuff like 'Kyd' and 'Peanut' are stupid. But the idea of celebrities using unusual/weird names is nothing new.

I agree. I wish they used something more exciting.
That being said, they like what they like and some people don't care at all if the names they love are super common.

in their circle ...
Probably Ella and Alexander aren't all that common.
For that matter, in their circle maybe NOTHING is actually common.

Amal was (is?) a human rights lawyer and George seems like a no-nonsense kind of guy, so it actually doesn't surprise me that they didn't choose weird names. I can't see the two of them having twins named Periwinkle Bran Muffin and Pluto Nash Bo Bash, or whatever the hell famous people name their kids. They went the solid, respectable route.
Now Beyonce's twins...THOSE two will have some names. ;)

oh, for sure ...
Yellow Mushroom and Brown Bomber, maybe.
What is it with celebrities and twins? Twins are like the ultimate celebrity fashion statement or something.

It's IVF. They can schedule pregnancies whenever they want to, and if it's twins, they can get a nice set of boy/girl. And, twins are cute, I guess.

Plus, instant complete family for those who are just hoping for one-of-each.
