[Opinions] Re: US Celeb baby names
in reply to a message by PirateCleen
Ah, celebrity baby names...they never cease to amaze me.
Some of them are cool in their wackiness, like Moxie CrimeFighter or Sonnet Noel Whitaker. Others are just plain cruel, like Audio Science or Kyd Duchovny. Speaking of Kyd, what the heck is up with that? His sister gets a perfectly good name, but he is designated as Kyd for the rest of his life? Reminds me of the discarded orphan in the Charlie Chaplin film, and that's not a good image to have.
As far as the Willis kids are concerned, I confess to rather liking Scout. You have to have just the right surname to pull it off, but it *can* work. The only problem is, the character of Scout was a notorious tomboy, and if the kid grows up to be a girlie-girl, it might be a little strange. Rumer is horrible, and Tallulah is...okay. Kind of sounds like an airhead, though.
The name True actually sounds kind of cool to me, but again, the right surname is everything. True Whitaker works, but if the name were, say, True Prokrewzinski, or something like that, it wouldn't sound cool anymore. Just my two cents.
