Help[Opinions] Re: Celebrity names for their babies
in reply to a message by FairyGirl
See, I think this is what you're missing when you talk about kids getting teased for their names. Just examples off the top of my head, whether their firstnames are "stupid" or not:
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt
Apple Martin
Beatrice McCartney
Coco Arquette (or whatever last name they gave her)
Notice a pattern? It's a less common name followed up by a surname that belongs to a very famous and wealthy person. That actually does make them different from a lot of other people. Not "better" or "worse" but undeniably different. Baby Apple is going to grow up a lot differently than I did, and she'll likely be in settings where her name isn't a big surprise--or a big issue.
The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness.
To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions.

But Beatrice is aa completely normal name. And Coco just sounds like a nickname. think of all the poor kids out there called Table and Basket - and yes they do exist.

I think Beatrice is hideous, but that's beside the point.

All I was doing was listing some celebrity babies and highlighting that their last names are hugely noticeable, not that they're cursed with these horrible first names. With celebrities and their children, or wealthy and well-known people and their children, last names oftentimes come with a whole lot of impact or meaning or whatever else you want to say about it. Again, in that case their families can be indicative of a whole different set of standards or rules or a lifestyle that is not necessarily the same as "ordinary" people.
I have no idea what your Table and Basket reference is about.
