So apparently Julia Roberts had her twins. I like the little girl's name, which is Hazel. Old-fashioned, but still kind of pretty and original. It's the boy's name that gets me -- Phinneaus. You know they're probably going to call it Finn (which isn't that bad), but if they call it Phinneaus, that kid is soooooo going to get it on the playground.

Also, is it eight o'clock yet? Because it has been incredibly difficult to intentionally slack off today with nothing on TV. *sigh*

Darn. I thought my name was safe from Hollywood!

What an atrocious spelling of Phineas, which isn't a half-bad name (though it means "loudmouth").

Hazel's cute. At least she's not following the "send them straight to therapy" celebrity naming trends.

Phinneaus. You know, I just finished reading A Separate Peace, and I bet that kid's going to have to read that book when he's in high school, and I feel so, so sorry for him.

Not to mention Around the World in 80 Days.

See, that's what I was thinking. If only his middle name was Fogg...

By Hollywood standards, 'Phinneaus' is pretty average. But woe betide you is you have a really weird name like 'John'. You'll get eaten alive by all the kids called 'Apple' and 'Brooklyn'. *eyeroll*

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

Apple isn't so bad. But then again, I have played Suikoden, where there IS an Apple character.

Brooklyn is. Broken Land, I think it turns into.

Totally agreed. Finn is pretty cute, but there are a lot of other ways to get there -- Finnegan is nice, and Finley, which Holly Marie Combs used, is not trememndously awful. Phinnaeus will get him beat up when he's little, and no one will ever be able to spell it without three tries and buying a vowel.

Still, you probably don't want to mess with a guy name for something famous for having a pole stuck through his brain and surviving.

Sorry to interrupt, but I love your icon.

[seferin.livejournal.com]

I like the character. This was the best pose... I thought.

Finn = good. I hope the kid gets exposed to Fire Emblem. :3

I concur.

Do you really think her kids will be going to regular schools???? They'll either be home schooled or go to one of those fancy schmancy schools with all the other Hollywood kids - like Apple and CoCo *rolls eyes*

How much do you wanna bet Hazel ends up becoming a popular girls name again?

Um...

Read the book Welcome To Temptation by Jennifer Crusie, and then see how you feel about the name Phinneas.

By the way, I friended you after seeing you on metaquotes so many times.

[closet-geek.livejournal.com]

A lot of celebrity kids get shafted with guaranteed-to-get-you-killed-on-the-playground names (Apple? Coco? Die, cruel women, die) but if I was a celebrity kid in that situation, my response would definitely be: "I'm a millionaire, what about you? Why so silent now, huh? Running to mommy, are you? Well, I'm going to run to mine too--BECAUSE MY MOMMY IS JULIA ROBERTS AND YOURS ISN'T, BIATCH!"

Friended you after seeing you on metaquotes one too many times; I figured it would be easier this way. :)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I think I may be the only person who thinks Coco wasn't so bad mostly because I figured it was a family name (short for Courtney Cox and her mom's name, too) and I tend to give leeway for family names. (Hence why I never knocked on Richard Gere for naming his kid Homer.)
