[Opinions] Celeb Baby
Replies
Aargh! At first, I hadn't seen the gender of the baby, and just saw Olivia and assumed it was a girl, then saw James and assumed it was a boy and I had misread Oliver as Olivia...I thought: "Hmm, not very original, but at least they're normal names." Instead it's an example of the most obnoxious trends ever: traditional boys' names on girls... I hope no one tries to imitate them and we end up with lots of female James and Charles.
Poor girl!!!
James on a girl... :DDDDDDD
James on a girl... :DDDDDDD
Olivia James...
...would have been better. That way they could have had the benefit of the doubt concerning James and we could say maybe it's a family surname.
James as a girl's first name leaves no doubts. In trying to be original they were just handing their daughter's future class mates a license to tease! :(

Bleah. And, to think, I used to like Brenden Fehr. >__<
Why not Jane? Why not Joan or Anne? If he wanted a short and classic name, he had plenty of alternatives other than James. It's not even that much of a standout--I've seen James on girls before.
It's not the worst name to be chosen by a celebrity (by far), but I'm still disappointed.

LOL!
At first I thought it was their son. Then I read it was a girl and it made a little more sense. Personally, I'm not a fan of James on a girl.

I suppose I have contradicted myself though. I do rather like Blaise on a female. :-X
Blaise lends itself better to being, for lack of a better word, unisex. When I see Blaise, I don't necessarily assume male. James is traditionally a male name. It's like naming a girl Adam. :)
ETA: I suppose anything could be 'unisex' though. Meredith is traditionally a male name and I don't think I've ever heard of a male Meredith.
