Birdyblue

Someone I follow on Instagram (a make up artist and singer) has called her newborn daughter Birdyblue. I like this girl, she seems really down to earth generally so I don’t want to bash anyone’s name choice but I’m not being unreasonable in thinking this is madness?

Apparently her grandmother has a little blue bird house in her garden and she referrs to the visiting birds as her ‘blue birdies’ so somehow it became a nickname for the bump and then it stuck.

The baby’s full name is Birdyblue Biza (apparently short for Ibiza as they love the place) Cece Seagar.

I think it’s cute when you’ve got a tiny newborn but not so much when she’s a 50-something managing director of a company? Or a doctor? I just feel she will be fighting preconceptions about her all her life due to her name and that maybe they haven’t thought this through properly.

I saw this!
I am one for an exciting name as both my children have uncommon names. But I do agree this is odd. Why not just Birdie? Or Blue? Uncommon but not unheard of.
I think it's a big thing in America to have names like that, also to have ordinary names but spelt really odd. Like Ashleigh which really blows my mind. I follow this reddit page that its dedicated to spotting these names on social media Haha, some of the spellings are wild. And it's like why? Why does that make your child have a unique name? Her name is Ashley.

Why would you be interested in someone who would call their child such a ridiculous name.
