[Opinions] Re: British celebrity BAs
in reply to a message by Sofia
I don't mind Alfie and Freddie, but it makes me cringe when (from what it appears) they're used as full names themselves and not as nicknames. Archibald is neat, though as much as I've been smitten with it recently, I'm never quite prepared to see it being used as a first name... I think Archibald as a middle name might be more suited.Oh, Gilbert! One of my longest loved, childhood "treasure" names.Florence... eh. It's alright, but I don't think that it deserves the attention and awe that it receives. More often than not it comes across as plastic, breakable, and unfitting to the bearer. As for Aurelia... I wish that the popularity involving it would die. I don't enjoy seeing it used.Eva is not my cup of tea. Madelief is an interesting gem, though (especially as a middle name - it might be a little too bizarre for a first, in most cases).Rex Rayne-- seriously? It sounds like a comic character- and not in a good way. Give the kid a real name! If ever someone is so focused on using Rex, please use it as a nickname... or, at the most, a middle name.Spike Bowman. Oh my. Bowman is, as odd as it is to admit, an ugly and strangely intriguing name - I don't mind it as a middle. Spike, though? It sounds like the name of a dog.

I think Bowman is part of the surname, his Mum is Edith Bowman. Edith is a much better name than Spike!
