new celebrity baby names

From Celebrity Baby Blog:

It's another girl for NASCAR driver Eric McClure, 29, and his wife Miranda. Daughter Maryleigh Isabella McClure was born on Wednesday, August 27th at 7:21 p.m. She weighed 5 lbs, 10.7 oz. Maryleigh joins the couple's oldest daughter Mabreigh Elizabeth, 17 ½ months.


I've never heard of Mabriegh before. Its sounds nice. Mabreigh and Maryleigh are just terrible as a sibset, even if the names are okay-ish on their own.

i agree - although not my style, the names are just fine on their own, but not as a sibset!

Mabreigh is gross. I don't mind Maryleigh, but that is too close for a sibset.
Also, isn't Elizabeth a form of Isabella, or vice versa?

These people are the opposite of the creative parents we see all the time!

Isabel(la) is the Latin version of Elizabeth; it is originally from Spain, Italy, etc.

neither name is even slightly "okay-ish." they are both horrendous. mabreigh sounds like you were half-way through saying maybe and changed your mind, and maryleigh is just awful.

Ew...

I was wondering if it was creative spelling of Mayberry (which would make him a fan of either Andy Griffiths or Rascall Flatts)

I had a friend in college named Mabry, which I guess is the same as Mabreigh. Though I like Mabry better.

Mabreigh blows, but Maryleigh is nice, especially for a celebrity baby name. I hate Isabella, though.

Mabreigh looks ugly, and sounds too much like 'maybe' (to me, at least). I do like Maryleigh though.

And yeah, I agree, too close for a sibset!

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Kind of Merrily, eh? The names are way too close to be a sibset, that's what I think. I don't like Mabriegh at all.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

I dislike both names.

And Maryleigh and Mabreigh are waaaay too similar.

There's a very busy road here in Tampa called Dale Mabry (which was named for founding father of Tampa, so I hear), and that's immediately what I thought of when I heard Mabreigh.

Mabry wouldn't be nearly as horrible as Mabreigh, but I still wouldn't like it as a first name.


I do like the name Mary, though.

Maryleigh? Like 'merrily'? It's not horrible, but... eh.

I don't like Mabreigh at all. It looks horribly made-up and clunky.

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

Wait; is it Mabriegh or Mabreigh? If it's Mabreigh, I'd be terribly tempted to refer to her as ma-BRAY. Honestly, parents. Just because you used more letters doesn't mean the name has been improved.

Agreed...which makes me thinks of a horse everytime I read it. Don't horses neigh/bray?

I have a cousin who named his daughter Mabry. It seemed awful at first but if you knew the country bumpkins, it fits.

[kinderlijk.livejournal.com]

maryleigh is cute, the other one not so much. and like everyone else said they're too much alike for sisters.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

Not a fan of either of those names, but for being celebrities the parents could have come up with much worse. At least they didn't them after fruit.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

Blah, name them... I can't type.:P

[274-days.livejournal.com]

I cant read...I read the invisible 'name' :D

[ex-londonso.livejournal.com]

Both names are awful.
