[Opinions] Whimsy Lou Smith
Replies
I think it's the best of the siblings so far.
And honestly Whimsy will probably stay on my mind for quite a while now, because I really don't hate it as a name.

The only one I like is Gravity Blue.
Slim Easy sounds like a brand of cigarettes. Rumble Honey sounds like the stage name of one of those female wrestlers that perform in bikinis. Someone else hit the nail on the head with Gravity Blue sounding like an energy drink and Whimsy sounding like a Dr. Suess character there.
I saw her video about names she thought of using and it was like Cherry, Odie, Pepper, Dawn, Bubble, Pear (f) and Frosty, Sunny, Silver, Zen, because they were "unique". Someone needs to tell these people that a name doesn't have to be a word to be unique! There are plenty of uncommon and interesting names out there that aren't just random words! I guess when you're rich, you can pay for your kid's therapy. It wouldn't matter as much for rich people, though, because they will automatically get respect for their family's money, and they won't be applying for normal jobs where people will judge their names.
It seems weird names run in the family. The dad, Lucky Blue's sisters are called Pyper America, Starlie Cheyenne and (the normal one) Daisy Clementine.
Whimsy Lou is terrible (why couldn't she just have used Dawn??), but better than the others in my opinion. At least the middle name is normal and the first has a somewhat positive meaning?
Rumble Honey sounds like trail mix, but Honey is more tolerable than the others, though Rumble might just be the worst individual name.
Gravity Blue sounds like an energy drink. Gravity is stupid, but it doesn't sound as bad as Rumble. Why not Amity or Verity? Blue is okay as a middle name, but with a weird first name it leaves no normal name to go by.
Slim Easy is the worst of the bunch. It sounds like a rapper name, but also super creepy, and not in a "cool way", which may have been what they were going for? The name makes my skin crawl.

I feel like I would have preferred Zen Cherry. But I guess that doesn't fit with Rumble and Slim as well. They could have used Zenith maybe.

I’m just glad they didn’t settle on FROSTY!
I agree with it being the best of the names. At least it has a somewhat soft sound and a good meaning.
Rumble I personally just don't understand. It doesn't have a positive meaning. Same with Slim. I would understand Love, Lovely, Rainbow, Angel, Wren etc. because they have good meanings. But Rumble? Isn't that some kind of fight or something your stomach does? The name will be difficult to bear. At least she has Honey which is sweet and Whimsy has Lou and Gravity has Blue, which isn't that out there. But Slim doesn't have an option. They seem to call him Slimy (I hope pronounced Slimmy and not sly-mee).
I don't find his or the siblings' names to be on the same level. They all have good meanings and Daisy and Pyper (except for the spelling) are/were top 100 names. The middle names are just on paper. And Lucky and Starlie at least have good meanings.
Dawn and Silver are so normal and nice.
I'm wondering what will happen if they are the slightest bit overweight. Must be hard with a name like Gravity, Slim or Rumble.
They seem like a lovely family and I wish them the best, but the names I find hard to understand. I'm sure they have their reasons. I love the mum's cooking video, though, and they seem like good parents, lovely people and great cooks.

Ohhh he's from Utah, I see. It's actually fascinating to see what happens when you combine the Mormon tradition of unique naming with the celebrity factor.
"Ohhh he's from Utah, I see."
That sums up my reaction lol. I don't think the weirdness is as much about being a celebrity as people are assuming.

These are people, not pets.
I saw this yesterday and had to dig!
Lucky Blue’s older children are from his ex (wife? Gf? Idk.)
His siblings names are Cheyenne Starlie, Daisy Clementine, and Pyper America. It must be a family tradition to pick embarrassing names.

He has 4 kids and is only 25. I would much rather speak about that phenomenon than the names him and his partners picked. I feel like he lives in a different timeline from me, but maybe that's because of his financial privilege. I was raised on "Don't have kids until you are 30, finish school, and have a well-paying job", so my values probably differ.
I can't even talk trash about celebrity names anymore... if I was successful and influential, I would name my kids something that, should they trend, I can be proud that I was responsible for the trend. I really like the name Blue, and Whimsy as a NN for a daydreamer or Honey as a NN for a sweet person. The other names sound like NNs I would not like to hand out. I don't really like Lou as NN or otherwise, but it sounds cute, neighborly and rural as MN.
To make things square, I will name some hypothetical children in a similarly bold fashion, assuming that societal rules have absolutely no bearing on their futures or my opinion of myself. Considering their flow and imagery only:
Boys:
1.Talon Cage
2.Tamzin King
3.Storm Wolf
4.Topher Castiel
5.Casimir Eve
6.Jaxon Grier
7.Crimson Ruth
8.Audrey Ciaran
Girls:
1.Myth Harmonia
2.Orion Topaz
3.Golden Serenity
4.Plum Valentine
5.Rosamund Lolita
6.Celestine Butterfly
7.Indigo Araminta
8.Emerald Star

Those people don't need to finish school and they can afford people to raise them.
I would want my names to trend too, but I wouldn't want it to be weird names like these! I'd try to bring to the mainstream names I think are underrated, like Kalliope and Serafina.
My main thing is that I would want boys to have more names that are unisex for them, too. Unisex names in English culture are not truly unisex because many of them are not seen as attractive on males anymore. Whitney and Shirley are never coming back for them, but hopefully others can?
I think Whitney could come back, but Shirley is probably too old-sounding in general.
I really like Courtney on both genders, anyway.
Some people try way too hard to be cool and ahead of the trend curve but they just end up looking ridiculous and desperate. The poor children have to grow up with these names so they get the major fallout from their parent's bad decisions.
I guess we shouldn't be surprised at these choices. After all, one parent is named Lucky Blue.

All of his siblings have names like that. Apparently, it is to offset their dreadfully common surname Smith. In that regard, it makes logical sense to me, even if I don't like the name choices.
Well... I'd rather be named Whimsy Lou than Rumble Honey or Slim Easy? Whim is a cute nickname sound wise, but it's all cringe on meaning.
These parents sound like little kids themselves. Rumble Honey doesn't even make sense as a word combo, and Slim Easy sounds like one of those meal-replacement drinks like Slim Fast.
From Gravity to Whimsy - very strange! Rumble Honey, like the bowel sounds of a sugar addict? Slim Easy wouldn't have been appropriate for a female name, not that it's that appropriate for anyone.
I have nothing nice to say about their children's names...I'm just going to keep my mouth shut. 👍🏻
It's the best of the bunch
Really just grotesque.
LOL!
Wow, just no, terrible
I have no idea who that is but just a silly celebrity style name.
