[Opinions] Celeb BA
The actress Milla Jovovich (b. 1975) gave birth to a daughter last Sunday. It's her third child (technically fourth) with husband Paul W. S. Anderson (b. 1965) and they have named her:
Osian Lark Elliot Jovovich-Anderson
Jovovich has stated on Instagram that the first name is a Welsh boy's name, which is pronounced as O-shin.
The couple's two elder children are also girls, who are named Ever Gabo Jovovich-Anderson (b. 2007) and Dashiel "Dash" Edan Jovovich-Anderson (b. 2015).

WDYT?
Looking at the sibset as a whole, I kinda feel like they've been wanting a boy after Ever, because the full names of both Dashiel and Osian are heavily masculine (at least to me). But other than that, their naming style seems decent. Nothing too outrageous, but nothing too ordinary either. It seems like they tried to find the golden mean when it comes to that, and ended up succeeding pretty well at it.

Most of the time when I look at a celeb BA, all I see is, "Actor/Actress and his/her wife/husband welcomed son/daughter Weird Awful Genderbending We're Celebs Don't You Know".
Ugh. They're all just awful.
Fail. Fail. Fail.
So basically the new baby's name is Ocean Lark. Which illustrates pretty nicely the pitfalls in 1. using two word names together 2. fooling around with foreign or obscure names. 3. Trying to be unisex without using unisex names.

I think giving girls masculine names is unimaginative at best and misogynistic at worse. It'd be a decent combo for a boy.
I find those first names quite tasteful, even if used for Girls. Dashiel and Osian are intriguing to me.
