Help[Opinions] Semi-Celebrity Baby
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20214360,00.html
"It's been three weeks since his blue-eyed baby debuted in this world, but Thomas Beatie – better known around the world as the Pregnant Man – can already say this about his daughter's personality: "She's easygoing and mellow and intelligent."
On June 29 at 8:55 p.m., Beatie, 34, a former female beauty pageant contestant, made cultural history as perhaps the first legally transgender male to give birth, bringing into the world a 9 lbs., 5 oz. baby girl named Susan Juliette. "
So, WDYT of Susan Juliette? I think it's really pretty, although I would prefer Susan Juliet
Please don't turn this into an ethics discussion.

Thanks for posting this. I'd looked for the name when she was first born and it hadn't yet been released, so I forgot all about it. :b
I'm not a huge fan of Susan, but it's definitely refreshing these days. Susan Juliette is nice and balanced, imo, too.

I agree with you about the spelling of Juliet, but otherwise I think they did a really great job naming their daughter.

I'ts ok, if a bit dated. I'd prefferd Juliet Susana.

Eh, I'm not crazy about either name. She's a cute baby, though.

I like Juliet but not Susan. Juliet Susanna would have been a bit better. :)

It's a nice name.
I'm happy she's healthy :)
I prefer Susan Juliet as well, but it's a nice combo either way.

The way I see it. The baby would be healthy because Thomas still has a uterus. Technically the part that makes him a Woman is still there.

How refreshing!

I like Susan, and wow 9 pounds is big.

Susan!
I love that they used Susan. And in this case, I think Juliette looks fine with it, though I don't like Juliet(te) in any spelling.

Big ditto!
Susan, although generally nms, has always been a name I've loved. Which is ironic, because it's not a color that I like at all (sunshine yellow... ew). But for some reason it just works, you know? Such a sweet name. I'm not really big on honoring names, but if I were to pick a relative to honor it would probably be my cousin Susan. She's 55 and I really don't see her often, but I get along with her so well. We're kind of like sisters 31 years apart who rarely see eachother.

I like that they used Susan too, it's such a nice name and it's very interesting now that it's a little bit more dated.
