I don't know what I expected...

There is a woman who frequents the shop I work in. Covered in tattoos and piercings and she's probably late 30s I want to say? Anyway, she has a few kids. Today she had two boys and a girl [though they were all around the 4, 5 or 6 mark, I'm sure I've seen her pushing a pram as well.] Today I discovered that the daughter is called Star. She told her off for annoying her brother and called her by her name. I'm not much of a fan myself but it could be worse.

Edit: Someone commented on this entry saying I'm sounding terribly judgemental. To clarify, I have tats and piercings and bizarre clothes. I expected unusual names for the kids because of her different look, but somehow Star still caught me off guard.

Kid won't have a complex or anything

I went to high school with a girl named Star in the 80's

an adult friend of mine is named Starr (she and her family are completely normal), her sister is Spring -she told me that growing up, whenever people asked her or her sister what their names were- they'd lie and just say "Jamie" or "Jen" because there were always too many questions that followed "Starr"

Not a fan. Mentally I put Star in more of a redneck/country music star category than edgy hipster name. There are so many lovely, creative celestial themed names, why pick Star?

At least it isn't Starr or Starre or Styr...
