Library Gem

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

For once, I feel today's library gem is actually a gem! A little girl, 7 or 8, named Avalon Rose. I'm partial to "pressed flower" names myself (Alice, Charlotte, Tobias), so Avalon isn't something I would use, but I did find it unexpectedly awesome.

Just now: little girls, sisters, age 3.5 and 2 years old. Named Katie and Perry. Nothing wrong with either name, but together?? And it's not like they're ten-year-olds, named before anyone had heard of Katy Perry. I guess maybe the parents just loved both names and are banking on the celebrity flaming out before it becomes a problem for their kids, but... definitely not what I would do.

Rose is such a filler middle name. Blah. I'm sort of indifferent to Avalon. I heard it on TV once and thought, "that's different, not bad." I even used it for a character in a story, once. Then I moved and it was the name of the mall there, so didn't like it anymore.

Well, One of the Boys came out in June 2008, so it'd be close as to whether or not they'd heard of her. Before that, she was still Katy Hudson.

I totally agree about Rose as a middle name. :(

It's a shame because Rose is such a lovely, lovely name. Seeing it as a *first* name is still refreshing and unusual!

Yikes! Rhyming names = awful sibset even before Miley... but I guess you didn't say they were sisters, maybe they were just friends traveling together.
