Geri Halliwell, of Spice Girls fame, has named her daughter Bluebell Madonna.

I actually think bluebell is rather sweet, of course Geri wasn't going to setting for a plain Jane name, and as far as celeb names can go when they want to be wacky, this is very tame.
It's just another flower name... but a rather unique one, & bluebells are so pretty...
I can imagine a baby blue or a baby bell. Won't sit well on an adult but i guess the names become part of the person as they get older.
Madonna is horrible middle name though, IMO. Maybe crazed fans of the popstar would appreciate it, or religious fanatics but as i'm neither it just brings up images of a woman with pointy bras & the vigin Mary, which leads to crucifixes, which i find utterly terrifying!!

If you believe what you read in magazines then the father has been frozen out & wont be a part of her life, so maybe she'll go by Bluebell Halliwell, which is too rhyming & sounds weird.

bluebell is the name of the icecream here so it really makes me have a vision of a little girl that looks like a jersey cow.

I think Bluebell just SOUNDS like the name of a cow, heh. That's the first thing I thought of.

Yup I hate it. Particularly after Madonna's concert antics, I am just no longer even amused by her. She needs to, uh, go act her age.

LOL "Bluebell Halliwell"

In its favour: it's at least the right time of year for bluebells.
Against it: Bluebell Halliwell; baby-bell sounds like cheese (Babybel); sucking up to that Madonna much?

sounds like a skipping rhyme - blue-bell helli-well....

What happened to Stella :(

How long 'til someone calls her Blueballs? Blueballs Madonna. My gosh, I think it's awful.

I have no sympathy for celebrities like this. I mean, they are just asking for it! It's like there is some kind of official stupid celebrity baby name contest going on. I don't know what these people are thinking.

hmm you can make stupid nicknames about anything though *though blueballs is pretty bad!*
Of course theres some stupid baby name contest going on... it means they get more publicity...poor kids.. some of them must have been concieved in a desperate attempt to get ccareers back on track.. *cough*shannon sossoman*cough*

I thought the same thing about Blueballs, haha. Oh man, poor kid.

[lostrocket.livejournal.com]

Haha I like the way "Bluebell Halliwell" rolls off the tongue...but for a name it sounds incredibly stupid. And, "Madonna"? No. Also, they go really weird together.

[namegirl.livejournal.com]

she could always go by Belle or Blue, which I actually think is a pretty cool name (though I'd never name my kid that)

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

Worse than "Apple" IMO.

[itcouldbelove.livejournal.com]

Ditto.

[sageharper.livejournal.com]

Do agree with you
Still not really digging it, way too cute/frivolus for my taste.

[lovablemess.livejournal.com]

Oh boy...definitely worse than Apple.

I think the full name is really bad, but Bluebell is kind of sweet..although at a glance it looks like "Blueball". I liked her story behind it. She can always go by Belle someday.

I think Bluebell is horrible. At least other "flower names" SOUND like actual names.
