Kristen Bell's daughter has arrived

Of all the millions of beautiful, or spunky, or colorful, or refined, or daring, or interesting names you could name your daughter, why, oh why would somebody chose [name]Lincoln[/name]?? Seems like such a waste on a little girl.

My feelings exactly. Such high hopes. Oh well.

oh I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Lincoln[/name] on a girl! Never thought a celeb would use it neat.

I seriously thought the same thing. I was like oh, a boy! [name]Lincoln[/name] is not bad… But I think its kinda horrible on a girl.

[name]Abraham[/name] [name]Lincoln[/name], [name]Liberty[/name] [name]Bell[/name]. [name]How[/name] patriotic.

I like nicknames [name]Linnie[/name] or [name]Bell[/name], but being a celeb kid i think she’ll have enough style as a teen to pull this one off.

I was quite disappointed with a name choice. I really don’t get what’s with celebrities giving masculine names for their daughters.

Aww, I’m disappointed. I’m a fan of hers (love [name]Veronica[/name] [name]Mars[/name] so much I backed it on Kickstarter) and she seems like the sort of person I’d enjoy being friends with. [name]Lincoln[/name] is all boy, no question. I really like it on a boy in fact; plus [name]Linc[/name] is a very cool nn. I do like [name]Bell[/name] as a mn. Hopefully they call her [name]Bell[/name].

NOT good on a girl!!! But [name]Maxwell[/name] is worse, [name]IMO[/name].

Why oh why? Hollywood people think doing this makes them cool and unique but [name]Lincoln[/name] on a girl is neither…I find it trying [name]WAY[/name] TOO HARD to try to be different. Laaame.

If they wanted to honor the former president (and we don’t know that they did), they might have gone with [name]Abby[/name] [name]Lincoln[/name]…?

Gag! I really thought they would pick something better. I’m not a fan of the name [name]Lincoln[/name] for a boy, and on a girl it’s even worse. The best thing I can say is at least they didn’t try to make it sound more feminine and named the child Lincolyn or something…

I saw it on a girl in a movie; sisters [name]Lincoln[/name] and [name]Jefferson[/name]. I don’t mind it, it could be worse. Plus I love [name]Kristen[/name] and [name]Dax[/name], so I think [name]Baby[/name] [name]Lincoln[/name] will have enough spunk and style to carry it.

I don’t like [name]Lincoln[/name] for a girl. As awheezie said it’s kind of like [name]Jessica[/name] [name]Simpson[/name]'s [name]Maxwell[/name].

This was exactly my thought. I had to read the announcement three times to make sure they were talking about a girl. [name]Lincoln[/name], to me, is a celebrity-type name for a boy (cool, but different and out there) and something I would totally expect from a celeb. But to put it on a girl? Ugh. [name]Just[/name] screams “I’m trying to be so different that people think I’m cool” a la [name]Jessica[/name] [name]Simpson[/name]. Although I never would have thought I’d lump those two women in the same category, here we stand.

I loved [name]Kristen[/name] [name]Bell[/name] in [name]Veronica[/name] [name]Mars[/name] so much! I saw on the front page and thought that she had a boy. I will be a odd person and say that I actually love, love [name]Lincoln[/name] on a girl. So many nickname options! [name]Linc[/name], [name]Linnie[/name], Linco, [name]Coco[/name], Colnie, and Cono.

It’s not awful but [name]Lincoln[/name] is all boy to me. At least she has the MN [name]Bell[/name] to fall back on, if it comes to it.

Ugh. Why? At least they didn’t “feminize” the spelling.

I’m actually really, really loving this choice. I think [name]Lincoln[/name] [name]Bell[/name] works well for either a girl or boy and is absolutely darling.

It’s great name for a boy. For a girl, not so much.

SMH. [name]Lincoln[/name] should stay on the boy’s side. [name]Bell[/name] is cute and a nice way to honor the mom’s side of the family.
