Hey guys. Just read an article about Billy Burke, who plays Charlie in the Twilight movies, and he mentioned he has a baby daughter (I believe she's 15 months) named Bluesy LaRue. WDYT? It's pretty cutesy.

I hate it.

me too.

Bluesy is kind of weird, but I don't have a problem with it.

LaRue is weird. Doesn't one of Demi Moore/Bruce Willis have the name LaRue? I just can't see "the street" being appealing as a name. I don't get it.

one of their kids is named Rumer, I think.

Personally, I like the name because of the movie Moulin Rouge: the lyrics to one of the songs in the soundtrack quote "Princesse de la rue", possibly referring to Satine, who is a performer/courtesan (old-fashioned for stripper/prostitute).

And then you might ask "Where the heck is the appeal about naming your child a stripper name?", but to that I have no rational answers :P Just a handful of artistic ones!

That would be their daughter Scout's middle name, I'm pretty sure.

I'm gagging on the cutseyness.

LaRue is one of my guilty half-pleasures.
But Bluesy is undefendable.

I don't like either name, sorry.

I know a woman named LaRue. I should ask her if she knows that her name means "the street". She might get a kick out of it

haha, don't apologize! i don't like it, either. just seeing what people thought.

Stongly dislike.

I don't like it.

Reminds me of Chesty LaRue.

Super cute name...for a dog.

It's cute, in that the whole thing sounds like a blues/jazz singer from the 20s, but it shouldn't be an actual name. I don't really have anything against LaRue, I probably wouldn't use it, but I think it sounds kind of pretty.

Ew!!! Poor baby...

Makes me think of a country singing stripper.
