[name]Cricket[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]. Not sure if anyone else heard this name yet or discussed it on here, but I just read it. She joins big sister [name]Birdie[/name] [name]Leigh[/name]. I was excited to hear the name she’d choose to go with [name]Birdie[/name], and I have to say, she picked a theme and committed to it! Thoughts? I like both as nicknames.
I love [name]Birdie[/name] as a nickname and I love the middle name [name]Pearl[/name]. [name]Leigh[/name] I could take or leave (it’s filler to me.) [name]Cricket[/name] isn’t my fave, but I think it could be cute as a nickname for the right kid. [name]Both[/name] [name]Birdie[/name] and [name]Cricket[/name] are strange as first names, but definitely not the weirdest celebrity baby names. Plus, of all the weird cutesy nickname-y first names I’ve heard, I could actually imagine old ladies called [name]Birdie[/name] and [name]Cricket[/name]. Not Supreme [name]Court[/name] justices or neurosurgeons, but still.
Lol! I think really obvious themes are super cheesy and uneventful. [name]Birdie[/name] and [name]Cricket[/name] are cute on their own but kind of annoying together.
This. Exactly this.
No, just no! This is too much of a theme. What’s next, Cheetah? Panda [name]Bear[/name]? no, wait, [name]BLUE[/name] Panda [name]Bear[/name]. I could see another word name like [name]Rose[/name], or [name]Violet[/name], or [name]Poppy[/name], or even [name]Pepper[/name]! But not another animal name. I’m disappointed because I really like [name]Birdie[/name] and had it on my list, but would never choose [name]Cricket[/name].
I’m bothered by the fact that a birdie could eat a cricket. LOL!
Exactly! That made me laugh like crazy.
There have been a couple shows I lately that take place in the American South ([name]Hart[/name] of [name]Dixie[/name] and one other one, can’t remember what it was) that had characters named [name]Cricket[/name]. I assumed it was a nickname for something. I’ll never be able to think about those two sisters without picturing a birdie eating a cricket now!!! Too funny!
I actually really like [name]Cricket[/name], although I’d use it as a nickname, not a middle name. I too am slightly disturbed by the bird/cricket food chain issue, though.
I don’t like the names…too far out for me.
I think both names are ridiculous, but [name]Cricket[/name] is way worse than [name]Birdie[/name].
I’ve never really understood the whole ‘not for a Supreme [name]Court[/name] [name]Justice[/name]’ thing. I think it misses the point: these names are silly for any grown adult woman. It doesn’t matter what her job is. They’re kind of cute up until about the age of ten, at the most…which is a fraction of the poor person’s lifespan.
I love [name]Cricket[/name] - I’m just happy to hear it used. I love [name]Birdie[/name] [name]Lee[/name] too - [name]Lee[/name] in the middle has always sounded so romantic to me, probably because of the poem [name]Annabelle[/name] [name]Lee[/name]. And [name]Birdie[/name] is just adorable.
I hate the pairing of 2 word names (and [name]Pearl[/name] in the middle seems like the new [name]Rose[/name] to me, as lovely as it is), and the fact that they have matchy/animal names. But as celebrity kids they’re more acceptable.
But hey, that’s the benefit of naming children as a celebrity. There’s far more leeway because people expect the crazy.
I would never use them, but I actually think both are cute nickname names.
Well the middles are okay.
I have no idea who this woman is but I know I don’t admire her taste. [name]Birdie[/name] (and [name]Cricket[/name]?) would be a very cute nickname for a kid -boy or girl- regardless of their first name, but it’s not great on its own. And they could turn out the most intelligent and lovely people ever but, like a PP, I cannot imagine [name]Birdie[/name] or [name]Cricket[/name] as a high-flying lawyer, rocket scientist or CEO. Or in any career, for that matter.
I’m having the most trouble with [name]Cricket[/name]. It’s a sport! Granted, it’s not popular in N. [name]America[/name], but it’s the first thing I think of whenever I see that name, probably because I’m a cricket nut. I’m watching The Ashes right now! [name]Cricket[/name]?! It just makes no sense. Try to imagine a British couple calling their daughter Baseball [name]Pearl[/name]- that’s the feeling I get.
Wow. Cheesy. I don’t mind [name]Birdie[/name] and [name]Cricket[/name], but as nicknames only! [name]Way[/name] too cutesy!
@charlieandperry - I think of the sport, too! I’m watching the Ashes as well. [name]How[/name] about that Agar? lol
I saw an interview with [name]Busy[/name] [name]Phillips[/name] once and she explained that being an [name]Elizabeth[/name] called [name]Busy[/name], who only ever goes by [name]Busy[/name], she wanted to name her kids what she planned to call them. There are plenty of non-celebrity people who feel the same, and name their kids [name]Sam[/name] or [name]Andy[/name] or [name]Kate[/name], not [name]Samuel[/name]/[name]Andrew[/name]/[name]Katherine[/name]. I prefer [name]Cricket[/name] to [name]Birdie[/name] actually but I don’t have problem with either. I agree with pp who mentioned that it’s actually easy to imagine old ladies named [name]Birdie[/name] and [name]Cricket[/name], and I don’t think I’d have a problem working in a professional setting with a middle aged [name]Birdie[/name] either really.
[name]Cricket[/name] sounds cute to me, but only as a nickname. Isn’t it [name]Jo[/name] [name]March[/name]'s nickname in [name]Little[/name] Women?
[name]Cricket[/name] is too much with [name]Birdie[/name].
I love [name]Birdie[/name], as a nn, but not as a full name.
[name]Cricket[/name] is too naturey and nicknamey.
A bird and a bug. Yikes!
If she had [name]Elizabeth[/name] “[name]Birdie[/name]” and [name]Christine[/name] “[name]Cricket[/name]” that would be okay with me.
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Cricket[/name] … as a nickname. I think it’s adorable and I can totally see a spunky little three-year old [name]Cricket[/name] running around and climbing trees. BUT … I would have definitely given her a longer name to use just in case. I understand the “if they’re gonna go by something else, then what’s the point?” line of thinking, but it’s nice to give them options for when they’re an adult. Honestly, though, I can see a young, middle-aged, and elderly [name]Cricket[/name]. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal, she’ll own it. And she can go by [name]Pearl[/name] if she hates being called [name]Cricket[/name]. I’m actually really excited about this one. The only eccentric nature name I think is too cute.
I just defended both choices on a celeb gossip site.
Well [name]Birdie[/name]’‘s actually a nickname for [name]Bridget[/name] and was a top 200 name in america in the 1880’'s its kind of like [name]Bridie[/name].
And cricket could be a cute nickname for [name]Catherine[/name] or [name]Christina[/name]. I do like them both better as nicknames though.
Here is Australia [name]Bridie[/name]'s top 100 so I think of [name]Birdie[/name] as a less common [name]Bridie[/name]. In Australia I do think of the spor as its one of my favourite sports.
