[Opinions] Darren Criss BA: Bluesy Belle
Actor/singer Darren Criss welcomed daughter Bluesy Belle into the world.Thoughts?Mine:Ack. I thought the “Blue” celeb trend was bad… but I understood it as a concept. I really don’t understand this name.

Are they naming a real human or a product? My goodness, Bluesy, really? Belle is adorable though.

That sure does look terrible, in my opinion. Sounds like the name of the Bichon Frise of a 90-year-old kinda-rich Southerner.I don't understand the appeal of Blue as a name, either.

Bluesy Belle? Usually I don’t like saying this, but what type of name is that?Blue itself I can tolerate but I don’t like and would never use it. Belle is beautiful (Like it’s meaning!) feminine, and a little quirky too, however very common as a middle name for a girl. I would love to see it used as a first name more. Bluesy is ugly, childish, and almost like a stupid recreation of the much better Lucy. In conclusion: I don’t like it. 2/10.

TBH, I honestly kind king of like it. But why couldn't they have done Bluebell?

Could have just called her Blue?I mean, there's already a Blue Ivy. Granted, she'd forever mistake with Blue Ivy Carter most of her life, but it's still miles better than "Bluesy"?And as for Belle?

Blue is a super common celebrity name. It's like being called Emma in the real world.Cher had an Elijah Blue back in the 70s, one of the U2 singers has a Blue Angel, John Travolta has an Ella Bleu, some Australian actor I used to watch has an Ella-Blu.

Rhymes with. Susie, doozy, floozy, and boozy, brings to mind speakeasies. I bet they'll call her BB sometimes like BB King, but the individual name choices seem kind of lazy. Something like Delta, Bessie, Jezebel, Billie, Roberta, Rosetta, Lucille, Cleo, Harmony would have more character imo but a similar vibe. I would actually like Bluebell Roberta "BB" yet Bluesy seems unfortunate...but still, I feel like...at least it's not Musey or Bugsy.

Sounds like a style of trumpet playing: like 'the blues' kind of music. Bluesy. Louis Armstrong springs to mind, and he was wonderful all right. As a name for a human child, it shrieks "My daddy's a kind of celebrity!" As a mn for Bluesy, Belle is horribly suitable.

It's, hm. Sickening? As a combo it sounds extremely silly, even sillier than Bluesy does at base (which is very silly.) Besides being silly Bluesy is also ugly. And childish. And does not sound like it belongs to a human.

I really dislike Bluesy. As a nickname it's fine, but really doesn't feel like a first name. Belle is fine, though I'm not big on alliterative names.
