You just know the other kids will call her Maxwell Drop - Good to the Last Drop, Maxwell House...when she gets older
LOL! I was named after my grandmother (first name) then, an old girlfriend of my dad’s (middle name).
Oh yeah, I’m known by the old girlfriends name..
After my Grand Father (Sr) an my Father (Jr) so I am the III.
This is yet another (comparatively small) indication of the depravity and narcissism of today’s celebs.If my parents had named me “Dweezil” or “Moon Unit” I would have sued them for everything they had when I hit 18.That kind of thing is genuine child abuse.
” After the first thing they eat after giving birth: Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martins daughter, Apple, and Courteney Coxs daughter, Coco. “
Apple Paltrow and Coco Cox?
Apple - Just call me “Alar”.
I’m pretty sure that Bruce Willis’ daughter Tallulah legally changed it to “Lulu” a couple of years ago.
It doesn’t have to be food. Chanel Coco, a perfume by Chanel. Don’t name the kid for the car like Lexus or Mercedes, just name her for a hot perfume.
What is worse is the co-opting of yet another boy’s name for a girl in an effort to be hip and gender neutral.
Just curious. Does it bother you that you were not given a unique name all your own instead of being named after someone else?
Following a recent vacation to the coast: Forest Whitakers daughter, Ocean.
Because they never went to grammar school: David Duchovny and Tea Leonis son, Kyd.
After listening to the cat cough up a fur ball: Barack.
Talluah is at least a real name if not a common one. But real uncommon names can be as bad as made up names.
I knew a girl named Keren-Happuch. Her parents wanted to pick a Bible name for her. She would lament, "What was wrong with Esther or Anna? But no, they had to be original!"
She changed it to Karen when she got older.
A friend of mine went to graduate school in South Carolina with a girl named Bo-Peep. Honest Injun!
‘___________hip and gender neutral.’
Yeah, and then the parents and often the kid take exception to make us feel stupid when we don’t know - - - pfffttt.
They've moved slightly down the alphabet to Brayden and Kayden.
As for the gender bending names, that got started with feminists wanting to name their girls 'power names', thinking it would help them compete with men, when they started their careers.
I saw this one kid on a skiing trip, his parents put his name on his skis, his name was “Rental.”
Well just think about it, when she goes in for her sex change operation in a few years at least it won’t be necessary to change the name.
