Personally, I think its an awful name.

[bellisima87.livejournal.com]

i still dont get why people name their kids like cities, countries, states, etc.

Brookly, Paris, Phoenix, etc.. and now Alabama!

H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E.

Sounds like a dog name to me.

I'm ok with using place names if they're significant to the family, but not if they sound really silly with last names -- if you say it out loud it sounds like it would be a drink you could order at a bar in Huntsville or something.

[mystiaunknown.livejournal.com]

Heh, Huntsville. I thought only people who lived in AL knew about Huntsville.

I totally agree with that, BTW. I could just imagine someone ordering that at a bar here!

It's LUELLA, not LOLA.

[checkingmypulse.livejournal.com]

oops. sorrrrrrrrrrrrry. but that just makes me hate it even more!

If they think they're starting a new name place trend (paris-like) they are sadly mistaken.
Alabama is terrible, awful, atrocious. I can only tell it's a girl because of the middle name Lola (which is sort of pretty but a getting a bit popular & reminds me of strippers)- of course they are crazy celebrities & are could be using Lola on a boy.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Okay so it's Luella. That's even worse than Lola...

[krazyhippie.livejournal.com]

It's awful. I hear Alabama, I think racism, loud and clear...nice nam. O.o

[checkingmypulse.livejournal.com]

i hear ya on that.

[hitzpink.livejournal.com]

Eww I hate Alabama and I hate Lola.

[sageharper.livejournal.com]

Hmm don't think it's too bad, sound wise. Fits the other place name trend* obviously, but still offbeat.
Suppose Allie is a cute nickname.

Luella is nmsaa, but not so bad.

*which isn't a trend I'm into personally but don't have a major objection to.

[jenniferdunn.livejournal.com]

They could have at least named her after a cooler state than Alabama.. geesh. *snickers*

[mystiaunknown.livejournal.com]

*agrees*

This place is insane.

I .. I ...
oh poor child.

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

Arggh... I hate it when people name there kids after cities or towns. And I especially hate Alambama.

[witchyone131.livejournal.com]

Poor Baby...Sigh

[lipsandhips.livejournal.com]

its after a character in the movie true romance.

i'm not saying it okay, i'm just saying they didn't pull it out of the air. and its not so much after a place as it is after a character.

anyways, its a mouthful.

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

The sound "bam" is just not something I'd want in my daughter's name.

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

Atleast they're not naming the kid Bam.
Bam Margera's parents really named him BAM.

[x--raw.livejournal.com]

I think the daughter picked it out.
I believe Travis and Shana wanted Briar but the daughter didn't like that and wanted Alabama so Alabama it was.

[lovablemess.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure the story they tell is that Alabama is named after Patricia Arquette's character in a movie. And I think the character was a hooker, too.

[mercuryx-rising.livejournal.com]

I heard that Alabama is from the movie because it's their favorite, but they also did ask Shanna's daughter Atiana whether she preferred Briar or Alabama, & she picked Alabama.

[quiet-recluse.livejournal.com]

Eww.

[ciara-belle.livejournal.com]

Ew, no. Not a fan. I really don't think children should be named after states (I don't care if it was a movie character or not, most people are going to think state.)

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

No.

[http://users.livejournal.com/---babylove/]

heh. I personally dont like it much, but if you look at some other celebrity's baby's names, it's not so bad. at least it can pass as an actual name... =D

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

Yeah... rather than Apple

[cleddy.livejournal.com]

i'm from alabama...but i would never name my kid alabama...ugh

[smrcampfan1.livejournal.com]

I don't know why..... but I kind of like it. But then again when I was like 12 I SWORE I was going to name my first baby girl Crystal Chandelier..... Thank god I wasn't having babies then....

Well I'm having a girl and now Jeff and I are arguing over the names Zoe (my choice) and Danika (His choice)..... And some people think those are weird.....

[ja-ka-da.livejournal.com]

I love it. I think it is so original.

[ejnost.livejournal.com]

LOL it's horrible!! About like our good friends naming their boys MONTANA and INDIANA! Come on now!
