Celebrity Baby Names: What’s your latest fave?

Why do I have to sign in through WordPress?

I love Magnolia, Penelope, Juna and Indiana. I would definitely use Penelope myself, it’s been hovering around #3 for a long time now. I go back and forth on whether or not I’d really use Magnolia… probably not. But I love it for a celebrity baby!

I don’t like Saint at ALL!!!!!

Agnes – vintage ready for a comeback
Aleph – may have trouble with the pronunciation
Arabella – the whole Ella/Bell(a)/Ariana/Isabella is over
Arthur – royal name that’s underused
Athena – Greek goddess + place name = winner
Bingham (called Bing) – 2nd syllable doesn’t help
Haven – spiritual/place might make this too trendy
Indiana (girl) – state/movie character taken over by girls
Juna – Juno with the O sounds more interesting
Kase – didn’t the Kardashians kill the optional K?
Lark – good bird name but a better bird name would be Wren
Magnolia – 4 syllables that should never become Maggie
Maxine – very indifferent to
Penelope – hipster name that’ll be overused in 10 years
Saint – uh no. consider Bishop instead.
Sky – surprisingly not very high on the SS list = winner

Athena and Penelope very much appeal to my love of all things classical.

Lark and Sky appeal to my love of nature names. Sky, like another nature favorite Willow, is almost getting to the ‘mainstream’ category, which is great as it opens the door to more lovely ‘natury’ names!

Arthur — has too much about it for me not to consider it one of the most wonderful of names.

Agnes — another magnificent old name which I’m glad to see is starting to appear again.

I like Arthur (I think I may have actually squealed when I heard this), Juna, Lark and Penelope. I really want to like Agnes and Arabella but I’m just not sure that I do. Kase, Aleph and Saint don’t appeal to me at all.

Agnes- this one continues to grow on me
Aleph- I like it but it’s a little weird when think about the meaning, like naming a kid H or something
Arabella- pretty but I feel like I’ve heard it too much
Arthur- nms
Athena- I like it, went to high school with one
Bingham (called Bing)- I hate the nn Bing and the BB initials
Haven- would never use it but I kind of like it
Indiana (girl)- guilty pleasure for me
Juna- I keep misreading it as Junia
Kase- no
Lark- all I think of is Lisa on Saved by the Bell
Magnolia- love
Maxine- love
Penelope- overused to me
Saint- there’s something intriguing about it but I’m still not sure
Sky- sounds dated

Arthur Saint and Penlope Athena are my favorite recent star babies. Agnes thrills me to my toes & Maxine makes me wanna dance around! Indiana is one I’d use, but ONLY on a boy, I think it’s ugly on a girl. And Bingham’s blah while Bing makes me chuckle. So not or the likes of me.

Agnes Lark! I’m profiling Agnes today, actually. Arthur Saint, Magnolia and Juna.

very upset that Arthur has become a “celebrity” baby name. will be my son’s name, should i ever have one.

love Arabella and Lark. happy to see Penelope, Maxine, Magnolia, and Sky being used, too. I think Maxine could make a comeback….

I really like Penelope, Indiana, and Athena. I really dislike Saint, Aleph, Kase, and Haven. The others I am indifferent.

I Love Agnes Lark the most. There are some other nice ones like Penelope Athena, but nothing very inspiring otherwise.

I’m a big fan if Agnes right now, I really like the nn Aggie!! I could see myself using Agnes! I also like Juna but I couldn’t see myself using it, plus I have a baby boy named Jude so that wouldnt work anyway! I also like Arabella but will not use it because it’s sisters are too popular! Arthur is kinda cute but probably wouldn’t use it!
I dislike Sky ( never have liked it, no offense ), Lark, Saint ( seems weird for a name )

I absolutely love Athena and Arthur! Truly spectacular! I like Magnolia, Juna, Bingham, Arabella, and Maxine as well. I quite dislike Aleph, after learning more about it. I’m also not a fan of Penelope, though I know most nameberries love it. It’s a shame- I would’ve loved Athena Penelope with Alice Zenobia!

My faavourites are:

Arabella
Haven
Indiana
Lark
Magnolia

I adore Haven!!! So cute and pretty! I also really like Magnolia & Arabella!

I love Penelope, Indiana, Magnolia and Lark. Arthur is also growing on me, and I’ve always thought Maxine was kind of cute (Maxi as a nickname, even cuter!) Not a fan of Aleph, Kase, Bingham or Haven.

I love Arthur and Penelope. Arabella, Athena, Indiana, Juna, and Magnolia are lovely choices as well.

Agnes — I will never ever find this name attractive. Reminds me of acne.
Aleph — ok
Arabella — too frilly for me
Arthur — too stuffy for me, and forever associated it Dudley Moore. Too bad.
Athena — I like this
Bingham (called Bing) — I only like this b/c of the family connections for the parents, which takes what at first seems an overly hipster name and makes it great.
Haven — love love love this.
Indiana (girl) — No. Have you been to Indiana? Why am I naming my daughter (or son) after it? (sorry!)
Juna — nice
Kase — “meh” turned “ugh!” b/c of the K
Lark — love this. I actually like this for a boy even more.
Magnolia — would be a wonderfully whimsical middle name
Maxine (shown with dad Nick Hexum) — I like this, but would use Simone instead
Penelope — No. Agree with pp who said this will feel dated in 10 years. (and I esp. can’t stand it paired with Athena — 7 syllables before we even get to the last name? Too much!)
Saint — wow, that’s a whole lot to live up to…..
Sky — Love love love this.

I hope Arthur comes back in a big way!

Arthur Saint is amazing. I wouldn’t use Saint up front, but paired with Arthur in the middle I think it’s wonderful. Penelope Athena is the same, though I do like Athena up front. Arabella Rose is my other favourite celeb baby name, along with Alyssa Milano’s Milo Thomas.

I really dislike Aleph, Bingham and Sky, but the rest I think are tollerable. Actually, I really like Haven.

Athena!!! Contemplating whether I could ever use this on a child. Also, I love Casper for a girl a la Jason Lee and Mattthew Mcconaghy’s Vida…

Agnes- So cute!
Aleph- I think its good, but it also reminds me of Adolph/Adolf
Arabella- its okay
Arthur- Too much childrens book, not enough king
Athena- LOVE!!! It’s beautiful and works on everyone but a grandmother that bakes cookies. It’s more of a grandma who skydives and jumps out of planes.
Bingham (called Bing)- is he a search engine or a kid?
Haven- I really like this name!
Indiana (girl)- As a state, it may be boring to no end, but it’s got an awesome name. LOVE! (Although it would be useful to think Indiana Jones prior to naming a kid this.)
Juna- no. just no. its horrible
Kase- ick.
Lark- LOVE!!!!!!!!!!! I love nature names
Magnolia- One of my good friends is Magnolia nn Maggie
Maxine- its good
Penelope-ehhhh. Like but much to popular
Saint- football teams now? REALLY?????????? That’s what it sounds like to me.
Sky- I prefer it spelled Skye as a name.

Agnes- This Not my style.
Aleph- I Don’t like.
Arabella- I Love this, it a change from Isabella.
Arthur- Not my style.
Athena- It’s okay, but I wouldn’t use it.
Bingham (called Bing)- NO, NO, NO.
Haven- I actually Love this one.
Indiana (girl)- I really like this, but for a BOY and not a girl.
Juna- Eh. I don’t know.
Kase- Really Cute.
Lark- No.
Magnolia- Eh, I don’t like it.
Maxine (shown with dad Nick Hexum)- I actually really like this. I LOVE the nickname MAX for a girl.
Penelope- Not my style.
Saint- No.
Sky- Perfer it as a middle name, with an “E” at the end.

I have a daughter who is named Arabella, and a daughter whose middle name is Skye and whose middle name is Haven.

I am really loving the name Agnes. Makes me categorize it as a spunky name. So adorable and will age very well. Penelope has been a favorite of mine as well but now it’s getting a bit to used, sadly.

I really like Penelope and Sky. Penelope because it sounds so classic and pure, I have a friend named Penelope, and as a child she had the cursive nickname Penny, but it’s a beautiful name as you grow. Sky sounds so naturey and pretty, I would name my child that if I could, it sounds so beautiful.
