Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) and her hubby Dax Shephard (from Parenthood) welcomed a baby girl today. Her name?

Lincoln

Ehhhhh. Thoughts?

I didn't know she was pregnant. Lincoln is terrible for a girl IMO. It's a guilty pleasure boy name for me. I'd only use it on an animal and call them Link.

No sir, I don't like it.

[thegreylioness.livejournal.com]

Aw, I think it's cute.

[kjerlandsen.livejournal.com]

Love it on a boy. Not so much a girl.

[brittmarie.livejournal.com]

I actually like it.

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

It's not a bad name in general. I just don't like it for a girl. :\ It's along the same lines as Jessica Simpson's daughter Maxwell.

nah.. dislike.

[elephantus45.livejournal.com]

Um ok. I don't like it.

[politicking.livejournal.com]

I like it a lot for a boy. I'm not sure how I feel about it on a girl.

A couple of sites are claiming the middle name is Bell. While I usually like maiden names honored in names, Lincoln Bell sounds like a memorial. Not a fan.

Idiots.

Lol!

Figures one of my favourite actresses would take one of my favourite names and then make it unisex. I take the guiltiest pleasure ever in this. I've got a zillion sims with typically masculine names like this. Tristan and Kyle are some of my favourites but I think Lincoln might be up there now.

Super ew, with a side of wtf.

Lincoln Bell Shepard... The keeper of the bells? Liberty Bell?

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

Ugh.

[hermione-vader.livejournal.com]

That'd be great for a boy. It's a bit odd for a girl. Maybe Linnie will be the nickname?

Awful. I wish I could think of something nicer to say, but nope, it is just plain awful. And it sounds like the parents were trying to be achingly trendy yet somehow ahead of the curve...

[twitchywoman.livejournal.com]

I saw the name first and thought, Oh I like that, then saw that it was for a girl and said, OH not for a girl...

[imamaryanne.livejournal.com]

Meh. I like Lincoln with the NN Linc for a boy. Not a fan for a girl.

As much as I am in love with Kristen Bell and Dax Shephard (seriously, it basically knows no bounds), this is not great. In fact, this is pretty bad. This is Jessica Simpson naming her daughter Maxwell bad.

But her middle name is Bell, so she should go by that!

I like it on a boy, I don't find it repulsive on a girl, but I do wonder if she'll be teased as a kid for it.

[harinakshi.livejournal.com]

it's not that bad, but I know they had an actual reason for it, not just to be cool or different or whatever, and I can at least respect that.

I love it!
