babynamesApparently fruity names are not confined to the realm of celebs anymore. They're branching out to the rest of the population too. At the place where my stepson goes after school, there was a birth announcement that one of the swimming teachers had a baby girl Riley Peach. (incidentally, the mother's name was Liberty, which I found interesting since I'd just read the post here where someone asked opinions of that name.) How do we feel about 'Peach'?
On a show that I was "watching" (srsly, I really wasn't watching it, just enough to see the names.) tonight, there was a couple with a daughter named Raven (which to me would be prn. Ray-ven. and to everyone else it was... but her mother kept saying her name Ray-vah-nuh. weird.) and their son was called Deuce (though I heard him introduced peripherally as "John" which was his father's name, so I guess it was just their way of not calling him "Junior".) What do we think of these names/nicknames?
and at the park today I met Mackenzie (almost 4) and her little 1 month old sister Morgan. I think I was grinding my teeth a little bit. This sibset really annoyed me for some reason. Maybe bc it seems extra overdone to me, seeing as I knew a family whose 3 daughters were Morgan, Madison & Mackenzie.

Date: 2006-09-26 02:41 am (UTC)2) Raven pronunciation is stupid, raven makes me think of black devish things anyway, ugly. Deuce is like tennis!
3) Madison, Morgan & MacKenzie are the most awful sibset ever. I almost like Madison, but the other two... *vomits 12785657402635 times*

Date: 2006-09-26 03:10 am (UTC)Weird - Raven to me is ray-vin, like the actress. (I don't like it).
Haha! I like Deuce instead of "Junior." I'm like rolling with laughter at that. I love it!!! I never considered junioring until I read that, lol.
I like sibsets with the same initials, but I guess I have a soft spot for them - me and my sister had the same exact initials until she married. Not a huge fan of any of those M names, though.

Date: 2006-09-26 04:01 am (UTC)I think Deuce is kind of a funny nickname instead of junior. I giggled. As a real name, though, I think it's terrible.
I haaaaaaaaate Mackenzie. I'm not entirely sure why, but I hate it.

Date: 2006-09-26 10:51 am (UTC)I noticed that too about Raven. Her mom was calling her Ray-vah-nah while others called her Raven. My guess was that she wanted to be called Raven instead of Ray-vah-nah and everyone does it but her mom.

Date: 2006-09-26 04:28 pm (UTC)maybe it was something like the mom's family (and the dad too) convinced her not to actually name her Rayvanah when she was pregnant by saying "name her Raven & just call her Rayvanah."
