They've decided to call their son Moon.

The story behind the name was lovely and twee but I don't know what to think of it.

Why are celebs like this?

Kate has such an annoying voice

bridgetreilly · 02/04/2019 00:13

So, not actual celebrities then.

colehawlins · 02/04/2019 00:33

Why do people keep posting about random Youtubers as though they are well known celebrities, and we'll all get the reference? Confused

colehawlins · 02/04/2019 00:33

Ditto instagrammers.

These people have 3 MILLION subscribers on YouTube. That's fairly close to 'celebrity' status in my eyes.

They've got 3.3 million subscribers on YouTube - that's basically the population of Wales!

I use the term celeb loosely, it's all part of the same thing really isn't it? Money, fame and alternative baby names.

Who???

colehawlins · 02/04/2019 00:55

They've got 3.3 million subscribers on YouTube - that's basically the population of Wales!

But they're American Youtubers, so what's the overlap between their subscribers and MNers? A couple of percent?

Oh lord.

Maybe I should have just posted that I heard of a silly baby name instead and not mentioned where.

3.3 million is NOTHING on youtube. 3 million is a smallish channel

The top youtuber currently has 87 MILLION, over 10 Times more than mr kate. Just to get in to the top ten youtubers you need to have over 24 million subscribers.

If your going on population of countries, they come from a country of 327.2 million people. A hundred times their subscribership. If their subscribership was the population of state it would be the 30th biggest state. Ie not a very populated state. Your assusion that we should know who they are because they've got the same number of subscribers as the population of wales seems bizaree seeing as less than a hundreth of people in their own country know who they are

Grin

So whatever you like.

I'm just confused that you expected us all to know Smile

fatbrows · 02/04/2019 01:22

@NaughtToThreeSadOnions over 90mil actually.

fatbrows · 02/04/2019 01:23

Also, I know of them.
Don't know how I feel about the name, like someone in the reaction video said- very Kardashian

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 02/04/2019 01:45

@fatbrow so over 30 times mr kate .....this might astonish you theres a lot of people who dont know or really care who pewdiepie is!!

NunoGoncalves · 02/04/2019 02:22

More power to them I say! Why should we all choose from a limited set of "acceptable" names anyway?

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 02/04/2019 03:04

nuno i yend to agree with you but are you new here or never read the other threads on baby names or the daily mail comment section when discussing "celeb" childrens names

Apparrntly some one with the name moon os never going to be a doctor or such like and its an excuse for adults to be quite nasty while goimf oh children are mean

Topseyt · 02/04/2019 03:09

Who the fuck are they? Who gives a shit about some non-celebrity on YouTube?

IchibanLipstickForMen · 02/04/2019 09:00

I like the name Moon!

Tiramisu1 · 02/04/2019 09:24

Mr Kate ?! Who is he Hmm

whitesoxx · 02/04/2019 10:01

Who?

RoseAndRose · 02/04/2019 10:05

Presumably they're Frank Zappa fans, but only half as brave?

PinkieTuscadero · 02/04/2019 10:49

I really like nature names, just not ones that are also a verb for baring one's arse.
