Paris Bennett, from season 5 of American Idol, gave birth yesterday.

She had a baby girl, whose name is Egypt.

WDYT?

I kind of like it, although I tend to judge names like this differently depending on what kind of middle name is used (if any), and the article didn't list that.

Not a fan.

That was my reaction too! But she's actually 20 now! Not sure how that happened...

Do you know, I didn't actually notice that when I was typing this up? Hehe. I guess I've just grown too used to seeing Paris as a name that I completely saw past the place name thing.

I think it's ridiculous. I'm not opposed to giving children place names as names (I like Lourdes, for example), but to me Egypt is just too much of a country to make it work as a name. Did that make sense? ;)

I don't think it's name-like at all. But if I had to name a child Egypt, that child would definitely be a BOY. It's not girly to me at all. But I like girly. Some people don't, I know.

Yeah, everything you said!
