[Opinions] Celeb Baby
Paris Bennett, who placed fifth in season 5 of American Idol, is expecting her first child -- a daughter to be named Egypt.source: celebritybabyblog.com
I LOVE Egypt for either gender. I'm using it as a middle name on a girl.

I'm not crazy about it, but it's not ghastly. I'm curious, is your name Sabrina Fair because of the poem read in the movie Sabrina? I absolutely looove that movie.

I'm sorry, but Egypt sounds trashy to me, like a turn-of-the-century stripper. How old is Paris Bennett, anyway? She was on AI just a few short years ago, and she was 17 then; at the oldest, she'd be 20/21. Not a kid, but that's young to have a baby.

Oh dear. I don't like it as a name.
Its has a lovely exotic and mysterious feel, I suppose, but it also sounds markedly similar to eejit (Irish slang for idiot).
I also think naming after a country isn't a good idea as a general rule, especially one so exotic. What happens if this poor little girl is dumpy, unnattractive and gauche? Its tempting fate in my opinion.Having said that, as a middle name, its passable.

Oh jeez. I think it's terrible, honestly. Especially if she doesn't have any connections to Egypt, which she probably doesn't. It's not even an attractive sound. Yikes.
