Looking for a 'celebrity' baby name

182 replies

BornAgainDomesticGoddess · 22/03/2011 08:44

OK, now if I'm honest, I would say that I genuinely like the unusual names that celebrities give their children. My faves are probably names like Bluebell, Blossom, Peaches, Honey, Tallulah Bell and Betty (for girls) and Romeo, Kingston, Cruz and Ever (for boys). Although I am not a celebrity, I would like a real 'celebrity' name for my next child. I wonder if I am alone in this, or if anybody else feels the same? I doubt that I would have the guts to do this, I will probably end up with something boring from the Top 100, but it's fun to imagine.

So tell me, what names would you go for if you had artistic licence to choose whatever name you liked?

By the way, please feel free to take the piss and post ridiculous names - I will probably like them Grin

Maroon! Brilliant. Cardigan for a middle name.

I was going to say Jessabelle but see FriggFRIGG has beaten me to it.

Oh, scrap that - I've just thought about what it would sound like if you said, 'for China' quickly.

MamaLazarou · 28/03/2011 10:51

China is lovely. Chynna looks like it should be pronounced 'chinner'.

seeker · 28/03/2011 10:49

I'm not sure how anybody could avoid being abrasive and dismissive when faced with Chynna, Brandi, Amaretto or Ever as potential names for human beings.......

ValiumSingleton · 28/03/2011 09:34

Fresh2death, your first comment on this thread was abrasive and dismissive. You carried on in that vein when other posters wanted to keep the thread lighthearted and goodhumoured. So when somebody finally snapped fuck off at you after a succession of snippy and mocking comments, I don't think that leaves you preening in the moral high ground.

Fresh2death · 28/03/2011 09:31

quite an entertaining thread

Enjoy

Oh, just go away. You are annoying me now. Pity, as this was quite an entertaining thread until you came along.

Thats harsh, simply going by the title of this thread i have come up with a suggestion that solves your dilemma, keeping the choice of name both celebrity themed, up to date and in the public eye - surely you should be thanking me and taking the positive suggestion on board.

Staying lighthearted...

Gaylord HAS to be the craziest name ever!

Every time the baby names book comes out this name cracks me up! Grin

seeker · 28/03/2011 09:18

I have a friend who's got a Nia and an Autumn.

I have to remind my brain that they are not Mia and Summer every single time I meet them!

Fresh2death · 28/03/2011 09:16

why dont you just buy OK magazine the week your child is born and copy a name from the most recent celebrity baby? surely that will make you happy!

I think you are wrong in suggesting that name-teasing is international JBrd. I've never experienced that and my name is extremely unusual.

Children can be very very cruel, and having an unusual name often gives them an easy way to make fun/tease someone. Happens everywhere in every country, regardless whether it's a big town or a small village.
