[Opinions] Re: So sick of celebrities naming their kid Bowie. (m)
in reply to a message by RDNZL
I hate both of the names but I dislike Jagger more than Bowie. Jagger sounds so violent and ugly and when it is used on females, it is even worse. I just can't imagine referring to a little girl as Jagger.
I know a female Bowie in real life. She is about 7 now, so her parents were definitely ahead of the curve there. Her Dad is a musician and her mother is a music teacher though and they're both kind of cool but without being stereotypically any kind of subset/fashion (e.g. hipster, super alternative, rocker etc). I haven't discussed it with them but I'm sure they're a bit peeved with the trendiness of it now! I always thought it sounded kind of ugly and stupid on her even though she is a great kid and not silly at all. They do call her Bo for short occasionally so I've just taken to calling her Bo all the time and that suits her much better IMO. Her little brother is called Harrison, I assume for George Harrison although I've never asked.
