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?

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
