[Opinions] Two celebrity BAs
I recently saw two recent birth announcements..- Neve Campbell revealed her son's name.. Caspian.
- Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill's daughter.. Violet Marlowe Followill.I find myself loving both names! Caspian instantly reminds me of C.S. Lewis' books and I love it and I don't usually like such masculine names for a girl (Marlowe) but I think this combo is just gorgeous.

They're decent names. I like Caspian, but it's not something I would use myself.Violet is also decent, but it seems very Hollywood trendy to me considering that Violet is also the name of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's daughter.I prefer Marlowe for a boy, but it's not bad as a middle name for a girl. It's close enough to Margo that it doesn't strike me as extremely masculine sounding.

Caspian has always sounded cartoon-like and juvenile. Sorry. I love Cyprian and Casper, so go figure. **shoulder shrug**Violet is sweet and strong at the same time. Love it. Marlowe I can take as a mn only, and only if it's to honor a family's surname, or a favorite author, etc. (Christopher Marlowe?) Putting together Shakespearean combos I once came up with Celia Marlowe, so I'm not immune to its charms for a girl. The snob in me needs to know it's something more than random sounds to the parents. (I hope that makes sense.)

Caspian is a place name to me and I'm not a fan of random place names.I love Violet, but hate Marlowe for either gender. They both seem to be rather celebrity trendy though.
