Help[Opinions] Re: Celeb BAs
in reply to a message by Ismene
Josey Hollis - This is like "A Boy Named Sue." He's doomed to grow up fighting people who insist on calling him Josephine, or spelling his name Josie.
Charlie Ocean - Danny Ocean's bumbling little brother, who tries to follow in big brother's footsteps but doesn't have the charisma.
Atticus James - I seem to be the only commenter so far who likes this. Others seem bored by it, which I don't really understand. James might be a bit "filler," but it goes well with Atticus.
Montgomery Moses Brian - Okaaayyyyyy... we have the big one. Montgomery and Moses are both pretty dated names. Putting them together makes me think the guy was born in about 1900. And then tacking Brian awkwardly at the end suddenly throws the combo into the 1980s. Even if they call him Monty... nope, still sounds like an old dude. This is one of the reasons GPs exist (i.e. while I might like the name, I wouldn't actually name my son Wilbur for this reason).
Blues Anthony - Blues? ... Seriously? ... What's next, Ska?
Rhodes Emilio - Rhodes isn't nearly as bad as Blues (I can't get over that one), but it will still be a difficult name to grow up with. Especially the first time someone - likely a classmate - spells it Roads. Emilio is fine.
Sailor Gene (Gardner) - Giant pile of no.
Olive Mae - I've never really "dug" Olive as a personal name, mainly because it's a food item, but this is cute in a hipster way.
Vivienne Margaret - Easily the best name on the list. Classically beautiful. Really a breath of fresh air after reading some of these.
Edie - It's nice as a nickname, but as a full name it... well, looks like it's short for something. Still hardly the worst on this list.
Please rate my personal short name lists (the latter includes combos):
