[Opinions] Re: Celeb BA
I like Colette; I've noticed it getting more popular and I'm wondering why... seems a little random unless there's some pop culture reference I'm missing. I do like it though, much nicer than Sloane. Koala is extremely odd... I know Zooey Deschanel's daughter's middle name is Otter which is weird but not as weird as Koala! I wonder if there's some kind of story behind it? Colette Koala sounds like a cartoon character! Also I realized that Sloane Ava Simone rhymes and that really bothers me, along with the fact that one daughter has two middle names while the other only has one (probably to avoid the rhyminess of Sloane Simone but it doesn't really accomplish that). Overall decent choice for a celebrity though!

...Otter's not as weird as Koala?

Otter sounds namier to me too. I can’t put my finger on why. Maybe because it reminds me a lot of profession names like Hunter, Fletcher, Tanner, etc.

Otter is weird to me because sea otters will actually rape baby seals so that’s not a very nice association. I mean, koalas are at least generally harmless, but creepy if youve seen that meme about a wet koala.

Koalas are as "generally harmless" as otters are. Koalas are quite vicious and territorial and they fight each other a lot (no matter their gender). Being woken up by a koala fight two houses down in something I've experienced. They also abandon their babies if they become pregnant/have a new baby in their pouch, even if the older one isn't ready to be alone yet.I love koalas...and I love otters. They're animals so they'll do what they do instinctively. I just love animals in general but I wouldn't name my kid after most of them!

Oh it's definitely weird, but it sounds more name-y if that makes sense, probably because of the -er ending.

...because *la is a very unusual ending for girls' names...no, that doesn't make sense to me. but okay.
