Designers kids
Was reading an interior design magazine and came across an odd (to me) sibset.
Crichton (f) ( not sure how it's pronounced?)
Hendley (f)
Byrdie (m)
Whatcha think?

hhaha I love how much everyone haaaates this set. It's pretty weird and random. Crichton is sort of working for me?! Because it rhymes with frighten and looks like a spooky old house. Yeah I actually really like that. The fact that it's a girl's name makes it even better - even weirder. There's something New England meets Southern Gothic about it.

Crichton - Pronounced 'CRY-ten' makes me think of Farscape. Love Farscape, don't like it as a name.Hendley - just no.Byrdie - Birdie is cute, but not really for a boy.

That's a horrible sibset. Crichton sounds too masculine for a girl, Byrdie is too feminine for a boy, and all three names are bad.

Wow, what hideously ugly names. Chritchon is up there with the ugliest names I've seen lately. I went to school with a boy named Birdie when I was little, in his case it was a nickname, his real name was Brandon. I actually kind of like Birdie as a nickname for Bridget.

If the designer's work is on a par with the kids' names, they must be some real clock-stoppingly ugly designs.

Crichton (crie-ton) is too surname-y for my tastes, and also quite harsh. And I can't separate it from the author Michael Crichton, so I keep thinking of Jurassic Park.I don't like Hendley for a girl (or anyone, really), but it does fit in with modern girls' names like Kinley and Tenley... which I don't understand at all...Wait, Byrdie is their SON?Worst sibset I've encountered in a long, long time.

Wrong spot, sorryHorrible. Chrichton just screeches, hard and harsh. Hendley makes me think of Myra Hindley. And Byrdie is childish, especially on a boy. It's not even correctly spelled.

Crichton is horrid. It reminds me of "cretin"!
Hendley reminds me of Henley shirts, which were originally underwear for rowers. I dunno about that either.
Byrdie? These people are wacko. They wouldn't be decorating my house anytime soon or ever!

Well aren't they just bending all the norms.
Definitely interesting, I'll give them that.
I do think Byrdie is super cute on a girl.

Honestly, it's the worst set of names I've ever seen.

I can't say I like any of those.
Crichton and Hendley are too lastnamey. Would sound a bit better on boys, I think. Henley is better than Crichton (too harsh)
Byrdie? Nah. I prefer actual birdies names like Wren or Lark or whatever. Byrdie sounds a bit silly.
