Help[Opinions] Re: Celeb BA
in reply to a message by Higuma
I must be officially getting old because I like the middle names so much more. A sibset of Simone, Theodore, Maxine and Alexander seems so much more interesting to me than Wren, Luna, Miles and Esti. Something about these short little popular names seems soulless and anemic to me. Like they are little personified brand names. I get some kind of Uncanny Valley revulsion when I see them grouped together. Weird!
Anyway, Wren on a boy is neat. I like that, it's romantic. Makes me think of Christopher Wren which satisfies my inner Dark Academia lust.

I would love to see the sib set of Simone, Theodore, and Maxine. I'd love to Maxine period. I know an absoutely lovely Maxidne and it's made me love her name.

Yeah, the middle names are much more attractive and cohesive to me too. But it’s just a matter of taste, long and classic vs. short and modern. Celebrities usually tend to lean towards the later.

Even ten years ago I think I would have preferred the first names! I don't know why my tastes are shifting, I find all these short, clipped new names rather boring now. Who am I.
