Re: Rumble Honey, Slim Easy, and Whimsy Lou
in reply to a message by Justina
The idea of a "traditional wife" with a big family, who acts out her life on sm is just so fabulously ironic, isn't it?
It's "reality TV" for the 2020s.
I think the names are pretty bad and I hope the kid names are pseuds.
Slim Easy makes me think she had a very fast labor and he was a small baby.
Trying to think of names that fit the style, but that I would not be as disappointed in.
Cherry Holiday (f) would not be too horrible. Jack Lively (b).

Jack Lively wouldn't even be that bad.
It's absolutely ironic. There's nothing traditional about it. "Traditional" begs the question, whose tradition?
Cherry Holiday is not bad at all. I actually like Holiday as a GP.

This is unrelated to names, but I just wanted to say per your comment: none of it makes sense.
I find Hannah Neeleman the most baffling, yet also the most representative of the dichotomy of this trend...
On the one hand, sure, she's a 34-year-old farmer and "homemaker" who wears Little House on the Prairie-style clothing while raising her eight children and making recipes from scratch.
Then again, she's a Juilliard-trained ballerina who married a millionaire airline heir and has a staff numbering in the double digits helping her raise her children. The stove she uses in her videos retails for $20,000.
There's no actual tradition; it's cosplaying tradition, at most.
