Help[Opinions] Re: celebrity BA
in reply to a message by RoxStar
I hate it. I hate it so much. That poor child. What is with celebrities and their inability to name their kids something nice?

I think it's usually either that they feel they have to prove they're interesting, or they just have weird name taste anyway and don't worry about it making their kid stand out, because their kid's going to stand out no matter what. I mean, we all have our GPs. But for the truly awful names, I think it's usually reason #1.

Personally I think they do it for attention.

Yes, they do it for the media coverage.

My theory as well. I applaud any celebrities who give their children "sane" names. It's unfortunate that we don't hear more of those. Every time a celebrity pregnancy is announced, I'm like, "yup, no doubt it's going to be a laughably bad name" And pleasantly surprised when it isn't.

I'm the opposite. I'm slightly disappointed when a celebrity gives their kid a "normal" name.

I kind of agree. Most celebrity kids are immune to any bad effects a weird name might have, and I'd probably just go straight for the guilty pleasure names if I knew my kid would be set no matter what.

Agree
They have more leeway than other people when it comes to name weirdness and it’s slightly disappointing when they don’t take advantage of that.

I expect celebrities to do weird things and I'm disappointed when they don't.
Plus it's neat to see how celebrity baby names affect trends.
