Names are tough for me because I work with 80 kids a day. That means that names get stuck to certain types of kids and I can't picture them any other way. I hate a lot of names. It is awful when people tell me what they are going to name their child because 9 times out of 10 I do not like it and I happen to be an absolutely terrible liar. I don't ever ask anyone what names they've picked because I know my first thought will be "ick" or something like that. I have never told anyone that I hate their child's name to their face of course, it's tough for me though.
Without further ado, here are the best and worst names of celebrity babies (who are awesome namers) . . . .

Amaya (Mariska Haritgay)- Meh, it's okay

Indiana (Ethan Hawke) - I hate it

So there you have it. Thoughts on these picks?
We went to the Nascar Hall of Fame in North Carolina. Hubby and Osh loved it. Ever and I thought it was totally lame.
I know, don't even say it. My little baby boy looks like a boy, a real boy. Tear.
Since hubby is a teacher we have the same problem as you where he associates names with bad kids. It's usually boys so we have never ever agreed about a boys name. It's gonna be tough if we have another and it's a boy.
ReplyDeleteI like Flynn and Monroe, too.
Kannon? I don't know. I think that name will be hard for the kid when he gets older.
ReplyDeleteI met a 6 month old named Cosmo two days ago. I love it. What about you?
I think most of these names are terrible! Here's my take:
ReplyDeleteBEST LIST

Penelope Athena (Tina Fey) - Gorgeous! Best name on this list. She also has an Alice!
Willow Sage (Pink) - I do have a soft spot for Willow.
Boys
Milo (Alyssa Milano) - Not bad
Skyler (Rachel Zoe) - I know too many girls for this to be good on a boy

Weston (Jenna Fischer) - Meh
WORST LIST
Girls

Genesis (Viola Davis) - Nononononono
Arlo (Johnny Knoxville) - No
Indiana (Ethan Hawke) - Bad.
Boys
Kroy Jagger (Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kim Zolciak) - Terrible. Terrible!
Spike (Mike Myers) - Did he get a dog?
Bear Blu (Alicia Silverstone) - no
Kannon (Kevin James) - No. It's a misspelled weapon.
Diesel (Jennie Finch) - A type of gas? Hm. No.
Moroccan Scott (Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon) - Why not just Scott? Moroccan is bad.
Obviously our tastes vary greatly. But that's okay. To each his own. I like old lady/man names (My son is Mac). I also swoon over Walter and Estelle. :)
happy SITS
