[Opinions] Interesting celebrity ba Australia
So an Aussie radio host (who I love for her hilarity and quirkiness) had her first child the other day. The mother is named Fifi Box, her mothers name is Pearl (because she always talks to her and about her on the radio show)And the baby was named....
Beatrix Belle Box. Nicknamed already "Trixie Belle".
Wdyt?
I think it's classic of her to pick something a little out there and it suits her personality to a tee. But people are already saying that she will be called Beat Box or Box of Trix..And also doesn't it seem a little bit Bob Geldof-ish??

For some reason, I read it as Bellatrix Belle the first time, which would really be bad. But, Beatrix could always turn into a Bea or Beatrix when she grows up, not a Trixie. On the other hand, sometimes I wonder if the names used on shows are pseudonyms to hide the relative's anonymity.

Didn't Paula Yates name one of her daughters Fifi Trixibelle? It looks like a gimmick.

It's quirky, which like you said, is to be expected from Fifi! There are just a few too many b's for my liking, although Beatrix "Trixie" is quite cute. Bob Geldof's daughters names are a bit of a GP for me, I must admit!

I thought of Fifi Trixibelle Geldof too, but thank goodness that this child has a respectable full name. I like the Beatrix part, but Belle is too cutesy for me. I don't care for Trixie Belle.

Yes, very much. Plus Trixie Belle sounds like a horse, or a cheesy cartoon hooker.
Box is a hard name to match up with a first name. Pearl Box sounds like a jewelry case and Fifi Box sounds like, well, like a girl's private parts.

Very Bob Geldofish indeed!But the alliteration of Beatrix Belle Box is very pleasing! It's a good thing that it's open to a number of quirky nicknames, whether it be Beat Box or Trixie Belle.

Yeah, oof. Trixie Belle has been done.I like Trix Box. lol. I'd never do that B-x B-x sort of thing unless it was to myself, but it's got a harmlessly lighthearted vibe, and isn't as much of a look-at-me holler as making Trixibelle her actual name.
