these names are so terrible. there is something so lame about self identifying as a "hipster" and then wanting to pursue baby through that lens. just my opinion, of course

Goldie is the daughter of a high school friend who is a librarian married to a chef. Both have obscure literary reference tattoos (the parents, not baby Goldie). Mary Lou and Gus's parents are related to DH, also in creative fields. West Coast, Quaker wedding ceremony, bride wore glasses, live music by groomsman's "experimental Carribbean-punk" band. You may peg River's parents as neohippies or but I would categorize them as midwestern academic hipster: Mom quilts, Dad wears tiny clothes and has fussy facial hair maintained with a vintage shaving kit, both teach quirky subjects, play weird string instruments, speak of Brooklyn as if it's Agrestic. None of the aforementioned would self-identify as hipster, and now that elderly family members identify them as such perhaps the term has jumped the shark. I live in deepest darkest suburbia, drive an SUV, and gave my kids Top 10 names, so maybe *I'm* the hipster now.

Carys is a Welsh name meaning love. Great name. Maybe that is what she was going for but misspelled it.

Charis (with the Ch- pronounced as K) is a name from classical Greece.

Does this also count for Asians who name their kids things like Eunice and Leon?

Is this real or are you the original author of the "describe the family based on names" post?
