Help[Opinions] Re: Celebrity names
in reply to a message by Beth0808
Two of mt top boys' names sort of come from celebrities.
Callum - Callum Keith Rennie is where I first heard the name, and yeah, I had a crush on him, but I didn't immediately like the name because of that. It grew on me. It's a top choice.
Benedict - I always thought it was a neat name, fun to say and all that, but people were always talking about Benedict Arnold and eggs benedict. Seeing it on a real person (Benedict Cumberbatch) made me say, "Screw it. I like it. It can be used." Yes, I'm a fan of Sherlock. Yes, I've seen some of his other stuff. Yes, I think he's a really good actor. No, if I used the name it would not be "for" him.
Hugh - Back to Canadian actors (and in this case, also-singer), this name grew on me after I started liking Hugh Dillon through his performances in Hard Core Logo and Flashpoint and on his most recent CD. It's not a top contender, but I do like it, and he is a positive association.

Tristram / Benedict / Callum / Hamish
